Our journey began with a single developer and a passion for code.
Christopher Hughes, the founder and managing director of Hughes Online Solutions, brings over 18 years of hands-on experience in software development. Starting out as a self-taught programmer, he spent nearly two decades honing his skills in various programming languages, frameworks, and system architectures. His career has spanned across startups and global enterprises, giving him deep insight into both the technical and strategic sides of software engineering.
Driven by a desire to build high-quality, user-focused digital solutions, he established Hughes Online Solutions to create a company that blends deep technical expertise with clear, honest client communication.
That foundation remains at the heart of everything we do.
We design and develop bespoke business software applications using web-based, enterprise technology which revolves around your business needs and requirements.
We can help you to optimise your operational workflows, reduce administrative overheads, assess your performance through interactive dashboards and achieve integration throughout your business.
Hughes Online Solutions works towards the principle of 'If you can think of it, we can build it'. If you require a system which you cannot find or if you have a system which isn't working the way you need it to, then we can build it, specifically for you.
Our aim is to be the company who can be trusted to give an honest answer to any and all questions regardless of profitability or commercial gain.
A company who will not use 'techy buzzwords' but will explain everything in a way which everyone will understand irrespective of their technical or business experience.
This is important for us as we believe it allows our clients to make informed and comprehensive decisions which will benefit their company and help them grow into a successful and sustainable business.
All our clients, no matter what service they require from us, will receive our full attention and honest advice. We believe the benefits of a working relationship far outweighs the profit from an initial purchase, so we want to focus on making sure you know you can trust in us to support you through the entire process, keeping your needs at the centre of everything we do.
One of the things that infuriates us is the term 'Well that is just the way it works'. A system is a business tool which should revolve around the needs and working practises of the business. It should not be restricted by generic work processes and you should not have to find a workaround in order to use it.
Our aim is to provide a system which understands the way you work and which knows what the next step is in the overall process. This will then allow it to guide you through each step and also make sure that each step has been completed before moving on to the next.
It also allows you to take advantage of potential up sales by suggesting what options are now available to your clients as a result of analysing the details you have previously entered.
