Connected systems, marketing and data that solve problems and prove their value
We build the systems your team runs on, the marketing that brings in work and the reporting that shows what it returns, and we connect them so each part makes the others work harder.
Trusted by clients from global brands to local charities
Most businesses run on tools that don't talk to each other.
The operation lives in spreadsheets and inboxes, the website and the marketing come from someone else, and nobody can say what any of it returns. That's the problem we solve.
We run the business on spreadsheets and email.
Leads come in and nobody knows what happened to them.
Every report means a day of copying figures.
The website, the CRM and the numbers never agree.
Three pillars, one connected engine
Systems are the foundation. Marketing grows from them, with every lead landing in the same system. Data and analytics shows what both return, and that decides what we build next.

The foundation
The systems your team runs the business on: operations, CRM, portals and apps, built around how you work.

A capabilities partner, grown from FileMaker
Neptune started by building systems on FileMaker: working software in front of people in weeks, not a year. Over a hundred projects later, the same team builds web apps and websites, runs the marketing that brings in work and sets up the reporting that proves it.
Some clients use one pillar; the ones who use all three run them as one engine with us. Either way you deal with a small team who know your business, and support starts with the first release.
Live sooner
Portals and systems built from proven building blocks, so the first version is in people's hands in weeks rather than months.
See what matters first
Work, alerts and news in one place, so every team acts on the right thing first.
Stay in control
Roles and an audit trail keep every team working inside the rules you set.

Claris FileMaker
Already on FileMaker?
For plenty of businesses it's still the right tool, and roughly half our work starts with a system someone else built. We'll tell you straight which route fits.
