Stackweaver is a software company based in Coleraine, Northern Ireland. We build practical software products for independent businesses and selectively work with founders and businesses to turn recurring commercial problems into reusable software.
Unlike a traditional development agency, our goal is not simply to complete client projects. We focus on building software that can solve a genuine business problem and, where appropriate, serve other businesses facing the same challenge.

No. Stackweaver is a software product company.
We build and operate our own software products, including Paycilo, and selectively enter product partnerships with businesses that have identified problems worth solving through technology.
We do not operate as a general development agency taking on every website, app or software project that comes through the door.

A software product partnership is a way for Stackweaver and a business to build a new software product together.
The business brings knowledge of the problem, the industry and the people who experience it. Stackweaver brings product thinking, software development and technical expertise.
Where a problem has clear potential beyond one business, Stackweaver may contribute part of the development cost while retaining the ability to develop and license the resulting product more widely.

Traditional bespoke software usually requires one business to fund the entire development cost.
For selected product partnerships, Stackweaver can invest part of the development cost through its own development time. Our current partnership model is structured around the partner contributing 70 per cent of the agreed development cost while Stackweaver contributes the remaining 30 per cent.
This model is only available where we believe the problem could become a useful reusable product for a wider market.

We are interested in recurring problems that cost businesses time, money or unnecessary effort.
That might include a process still managed through spreadsheets, repetitive administration, disconnected business systems, an expensive collection of software subscriptions, a missing industry specific tool, or a workflow that businesses in your sector repeatedly struggle with.
You do not need to arrive with a finished software specification. Starting with a clearly understood problem is often more useful.

Stackweaver normally retains ownership of the core intellectual property behind products developed through its product partnership model so the software can be maintained, improved and offered to other businesses facing the same problem.
The commercial arrangement, access rights, responsibilities and any business specific requirements are agreed clearly before development begins.
A product partnership is therefore different from commissioning fully bespoke software where a client pays the entire development cost in exchange for exclusive ownership.

No. Stackweaver is based in Coleraine and has a strong interest in helping independent businesses across Northern Ireland, but we can work with suitable founders and businesses throughout the United Kingdom.
Our local base matters to us, but the problems we choose to solve do not have to stop at the Northern Ireland border.

Paycilo is the first active product being developed by Stackweaver.
It is designed to help businesses accept direct digital payments.
It can reduce reliance on traditional payment processors and the charges that come with them.
It can also make digital payments more accessible to businesses that still rely heavily on cash or offline transactions.
For Stackweaver, Paycilo is ultimately about one thing. Making it easier for businesses to get paid while protecting more of what they earn.

Start by telling us about the problem rather than trying to design the software yourself.
Explain what currently happens, who experiences the problem, how often it occurs and what it costs in time, money or lost opportunity.
Stackweaver will review whether the problem is suitable for an existing product, a potential product partnership or something better solved through another route. Not every idea will become a Stackweaver product, but every serious proposal starts with understanding the problem properly.
