Whale Orbit / Tailor-made

Tailor-made

We build tools for other businesses, startups and individuals.

Whale Orbit is our own tooling pointed at public filings. The same tooling has been pointed at price lists, catalogues and back offices. Whether you run a business, a startup or a project of your own, tell us the problem and we build the tool for it.

Small business

A trade catalogue that only its customers can see

Almost ten thousand products today, about thirty thousand once three or four more wholesalers are added for price comparison. Behind a login, priced per account, updated from the owner's phone.

The engines behind our own products

The pipelines that read public filings, score them and publish them are not tied to filings. Point them at your data and they do the same job on it.

Individuals Example

One person, one problem, one tool

Smaller builds for a single operator: a watchlist that reads what you actually read, a report that writes itself every morning.

How it works

  1. 1

    A call about the problem

    You tell us what hurts. We say plainly whether we are the right people for it.

  2. 2

    Scope in writing

    What gets built, in what order, for what price. Nothing starts without it.

  3. 3

    Built in stages you can see

    A working piece early, then the rest, reviewed with you along the way.

  4. 4

    Handed over, or licensed

    You get the tool built for you, or a licence on an engine we already run.
