Your Software Built, Supported and Improved — All Year, One Team
Annual partnership plans for UK businesses that want competitive software without per-seat licensing, missed handovers or a team that vanishes after launch.
Off-the-shelf tools cap your growth — and a one-off build without a team behind it does too
Most UK businesses face the same trap: they either rent software they can never own, or they commission a custom build and lose the team the moment it goes live. Neither gives you a system that improves as your business does. If your software relationship ends at handover, you are already planning to fall behind.
One accountable UK team — from specification through to your annual support plan
NovaStacks builds your bespoke software and then stays with it. Our annual partnership model keeps one team responsible from the first line of specification through to security updates, roadmap reviews and continuous improvement across the full year. You own the code outright — no licensing lock-in, no per-seat fees, no dependency on us to access what you paid to build. We stay close to the product because it produces real results, not because we withhold anything.
- No per-seat licensing — you pay for your software, not your headcount as it grows
- One team from build to annual support: no handovers, no lost context, no cold starts
- Annual plan means priority access, planned roadmap reviews and proactive maintenance from the team that knows your codebase
How it works
You send us a brief outline of your requirements. We scope, quote and agree a plan — and the annual support partnership is part of that conversation from the outset, so post-launch costs are clear before you commit. Work begins with a deposit and follows a structured build timeline. From launch, your annual plan covers management, maintenance, security and iterative improvements. The conversion path is straightforward: enquiry, deposit, build, then ongoing annual partnership. No surprises at any stage.
Why NovaStacks — proof from production, not a pitch deck
NovaStacks runs more than 15 live, production SaaS products built with the same engineering stack — React, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL — that we deliver to clients. GuardFlowApp runs daily for SIA security and manned guarding operations. CleanFlow serves commercial cleaning and facilities management workforces. CareOps handles care recruitment and compliance. FleetFlowApp manages UK fleet and vehicle-hire operators. These are not demos, mock-ups or case studies prepared for a sales call. They are live systems in daily use by real businesses. When you ask NovaStacks to build and support your software, you are working with a team that already does exactly this in its own portfolio — every single day.
Frequently asked questions
What does the annual partnership actually cover?
It covers ongoing maintenance, security updates, performance monitoring, bug fixes and planned roadmap reviews across the year. The same team that built your software stays accountable for keeping it secure, stable and continuously improving — without the overhead of in-house engineers or the risk of a freelancer disappearing after handover.
Do I own the code and intellectual property?
Yes — always. There is no licensing lock-in and no per-seat fee. You own what you paid to build, and nothing about that changes with the annual support arrangement. The partnership exists because businesses find genuine long-term value in a specialist team staying close to a live product, not because we withhold anything from you at any stage.
Can I decide on the annual plan after the build, rather than committing upfront?
The annual plan is discussed as part of the initial scoping conversation, so you understand exactly what post-launch looks like before work begins. Many clients find committing to the annual plan upfront simplifies budgeting, keeps the team continuously engaged and removes the cost of bringing a new team up to speed later. That said, every conversation starts with your requirements — send us an outline and we will give you the full picture, including what the annual arrangement includes and what it costs for your specific project.
