About Cube Purple

A Rutland software company that stays after launch

Cube Purple is a software company based in Rutland, providing software development services to businesses across the UK. Since 2013 we've built bespoke software for clients and run our own products alongside it.

Our story

Building and running software since 2013

We started in 2013 as ClockedIn Limited, building biometric time and attendance software. Running our own product taught us what most agencies never learn: what it takes to keep software working, year after year, for customers who depend on it.

We became Cube Purple, and today we build bespoke software for UK businesses while still running our own products, FireArrest and ClockedIn, with ClockedInOne on the way.

Our head office is near Uppingham in Rutland. You deal with one team, from the first call to long-term support.

A note from our CEO

Why I started Cube Purple

I spent over a decade running a construction business. It taught me that software only matters if it works for the people doing the job.

We started in 2013 as ClockedIn Limited, building biometric time and attendance software. We still run it today, and we support the businesses that rely on it every day.

FireArrest came about the same way. A conversation with a friend in the fire protection industry showed me how poorly the existing tools served the people who depended on them. So we built something better, with the installers who use it on site.

Today we also build bespoke software for other UK businesses. The approach hasn't changed. We start with what's broken, we explain everything in plain English, we agree a fixed price before any work starts, and we stay after launch.

If something in your business isn't working, I'd like to hear about it.

How we work

Four things we won't compromise on

Problems before features

We start by asking what's broken and what it costs. If software isn't the answer, we'll say so.

Plain English

No jargon, no hiding behind technical terms. You'll understand every decision before you make it.

A fixed price

A written scope and a fixed price before work starts. No open-ended day rates.

We stay

Support, hosting and the next phase. The team that built it is the team you call.

Proof we can deliver

We run our own software, every day

Our products have paying customers, support calls and regular releases. Anything we build for you gets the same care.
