Selected work

Different problems.
Different ways forward.

Our work crosses industries, platforms and technologies. What connects it is a willingness to challenge the expected and build something better.

Flagship engineering project

Sea Harrier
Simulator

A complete simulation system engineered around a fully rigged, 1:1 Sea Harrier cockpit.

We are developing the software environment that transforms the physical cockpit into a fully immersive experience—connecting the simulation to the aircraft's working instruments, gauges, switches and displays.

Simulation software

Developing the core software responsible for the aircraft simulation, flight experience and real-time operating environment.

Physical integration

Writing the control layer that reads, manages and communicates with the fully rigged cockpit's gauges, switches and displays.

One responsive system

Ensuring the physical cockpit reacts as part of the simulation so every supported instrument contributes to an authentic, immersive experience.

This is our most technically ambitious project: simulation, hardware integration, embedded control and real-time data working as one system.

Also in development

Shadow Surf

A new browser software project that takes 1711 Digital Labs into a category most development companies never attempt. Shadow Surf is exactly the kind of challenge we are built for: ambitious, technically demanding and unafraid to take a different route.

Not another website.
A different kind of software.

Shadow Surf demonstrates our appetite for projects beyond standard commercial platforms—work where architecture, product thinking and experimentation matter from the very beginning.

Platforms and products

Technology built for
the real world.

From operational SaaS and intelligent data systems to connected devices, learning technology and games.

Renewable energy SaaSLive

Solar CRM

An end-to-end operating platform built specifically around the way solar installation businesses work—not a generic CRM with a renewable-energy label.

The challengeSolar businesses often manage enquiries, appointments, surveys, quotes, installation work and payments across disconnected systems.

What we builtOne cloud platform connecting lead capture, sales allocation, interactive pipelines, customer journeys, installations, quotations, invoicing and team performance.

Traffic intelligenceLive

TrueHit

A traffic-intelligence platform designed to answer the question conventional analytics cannot: what is actually visiting your website?

The challengeAnalytics platforms report visits and actions, but automated, suspicious and manipulated traffic can still be counted as genuine users.

What we builtA different classification engine that evaluates traffic signals, identifies bots and suspicious activity, and gives businesses a clearer view of wasted advertising spend.

More from the lab

Projects spanning learning, wearable software and digital gaming.

Learning technology

Adult Learning Tools

A safe, teacher-led platform where adult learners practise everyday decisions—from banking and bills to communication and shopping—while organisations manage learners, groups, activity and progress.

Private platform

Tactical instrument watch

Project Raven

Purpose-built watch software combining compass, gyro and IMU data, GPS and barometric altitude in a mission-focused instrument—not a conventional connected smartwatch.

In development

Community & digital heritage

Uckers.club

Built for a non-profit organisation as part of its wider community platform, bringing a Fleet Air Arm tradition online so former colleagues can reconnect, play and share memories.

Focused products

Specialist platforms & tools

Smaller in scope, but engineered around a clear operational problem.

SaaS payment infrastructure

NodePay

An online billing platform giving SaaS products a central layer for checkout, subscriptions, customer billing, Stripe processing, webhooks and access control.

SubscriptionsPaymentsAPI integration

Live boards for any screen

Fliply

A new platform for turning everyday screens into configurable live boards—designed to make useful, changing information feel at home on the displays people already own.
