Real work. Real outcomes.

The challenge

Scottish Home Inspections needed an end-to-end system to handle the full customer journey, from enquiry through to on-site inspection and final report delivery. Previously, bookings were managed manually, inspection notes lived on paper or in the inspector's head, and there was no central place to track customers or schedule the work.

The challenge

Many school and community silent auctions still run on paper registration, manual tallying of winning bids and a round of volunteer phone calls after the event. Tracking bidders, working out winners and chasing payment is time-consuming and error-prone, and winners often don't hear until days later.

The solution

We designed and built a web-based Silent Auction Manager that keeps the paper bidding families enjoy, while automating the admin around it: registration, winner identification, payment tracking and reporting. It's designed to work reliably on patchy wifi and to be simple enough for attendees of mixed tech confidence, including grandparents. It has been built, tested and demonstrated to a local school, and is ready for any school, club or community group to use at their next event.

Key features

• QR code registration: quick, contactless sign-up for attendees on the night
• Bidder number management: every bidder tracked against a clear number
• SMS winner notifications: winners texted automatically at the end of the auction
• Payment and collection tracking: see at a glance who has paid and collected
• Volunteer role management: assign and manage volunteer access and tasks
• Audit logging: a clear record of key actions for accountability
• End-of-event reporting: totals and outcomes ready as soon as the auction closes
• Privacy-first data deletion: attendee data cleared once the event is done

What it's designed to do

Cut the manual admin, make the night easier for volunteers, and let winners know on the day rather than chasing them with phone calls afterwards. It's reusable, so it can be set up for any school, club or community group's own event.

The challenge

Cadzow Croft already had a farm audience on Facebook and Instagram, but a children's book speaks to a different crowd: parents, grandparents, teachers and book lovers. Posting book content on the farm accounts risked confusing both audiences, and a brand-new account starts from zero. The launch also had to stay flexible, because the publishing date depended on final print review.

What we did

• Gave Winnie her own home. A dedicated Facebook Page and Instagram account, set up as a book series and linked to the farm brand.
• Made her easy to find. Names, bios and categories written with the words people actually search for, such as "children's book" and "Highland calf".
• Planned the launch. A single content calendar running the book countdown alongside the farm's regular posts, so neither account crowds the other.
• Created on-brand content. Reels, carousels and an animated talking-Winnie video, with every character, colour and setting matched to the book's illustrations.
• Connected the two brands. Instagram Collabs, Facebook shares and cross-tagging so each account introduces the other's audience.
• Kept it in the owner's hands. Simple, repeatable steps and ready-to-post packs, so the farm can keep posting confidently on its own.

The result

Two connected brands telling one clear story, and a library of launch content ready the day the book went live on 23 October 2026.
