About illumo digital

illumo digital is a software development company based in Bristol. We take on complex, demanding projects that others won’t. We’re sector and software agnostic, which means that we work with clients from many different industries and don’t limit our work to just one or two programming languages

Talent Drain

Your most talented people are bogged down in admin or double-checking “why the numbers don’t match” rather than delivering the high-value expertise.

Visibility Gap

You can’t get a straight answer on profitability without someone spending hours “cleaning” exported data. Finance, Sales, and Ops are working from different versions of the truth

Scalability Trap

Increasing your revenue currently requires a linear increase in staff, meaning your margins stay flat even as you grow.

Diluted Advantage

You have built a competitive advantage from the unique way you do things, but your can’t leverage it. You need technology that translates your data into opportunities.

In the age of AI

Should you invest now, or wait for the bubble to burst? You may have even tried vibe coding; it gets you what you need, but it's not robust enough to support your business needs.

"I loved meeting with illumo digital. There are very few meetings I have where I leave and I’m genuinely excited about what’s going to happen in the future." – Mark Lovett, Founder, LHL
