Interlockdigital Ltd

Based in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, this technical development agency has built and maintained smartphone apps and bespoke web-based business systems for over 15 years. Rather than serving a single sector, the team works with manufacturers and distributors needing dealer network tools, specialist service businesses requiring customer-facing apps, and organisations with existing legacy systems that need ongoing support. Client examples referenced on the website include a treatment specialist commissioning a customer service app, a curtain and blind maker needing a B2C/B2B online ordering system, a cycle-touring community requiring a mobile app, and an aircrew training platform needing development and support services. The agency's core work centres on smartphone application development for Android and iOS, built using React-Native and Cordova frameworks and linked to clients' web and back-office systems. It also delivers enterprise content management solutions, building multi-lingual, multi-site websites with SEO and brand control incorporated, and takes over support for existing sites built on ASP.NET, WordPress, Drupal or Expression Engine, addressing security issues and adding functionality. A further specialism is dealer and distributor network solutions, offering 24/7 online ordering with discount-rate logic and integration with back-office fulfilment, stock control and accounting systems. The agency also provides business systems integration via XML, database, CSV and web-service connections between disparate systems, and offers Opera e-commerce integration for partners in the Pegasus Opera reseller network.
