Software, data & digital ventures
We design, build and operate business-critical software.
Meddalwedd is a British software company. We build and operate our own digital platforms, and we design, deliver and run systems for organisations that need them to last.
About us
A software company that runs its own platforms.
Meddalwedd is the home of our digital products and partnerships. We own and operate platforms that serve paying subscribers and process national data continuously, and we bring the same discipline to systems we build for others.
We design on the assumption that we will still be responsible in a decade. In our own estate, we are. That is a different discipline from delivery-and-handover.
Sectors: education, care, housing, estates and property, consumer services.
and operating our own platforms.
Our portfolio
Platforms we built and operate.
UK Crime Statistics
Location risk intelligence for schools, care providers, employers and estates teams. Every neighbourhood in England and Wales, with the reasoning behind each assessment.
Vehicle Stats
The full MOT history of any UK car, and how that model and age tends to fare. Free, and open to anyone.
GeoCode
Every UK postcode connected to its area, population and official statistics. The foundation our platforms compare places on.
Almanac
A private, on-device app for keeping track of the things that matter. No account, and nothing sent to us.
Capabilities
What we deliver.
Systems delivery
Business-critical applications designed, built and brought into service: customer and case management, subscriptions and billing, workflow, administration and reporting. New systems, and systems that have outgrown their original design.
How we deliverData & analysis
Information held across disconnected systems consolidated into one governed view, with reporting and analysis that will withstand a board, an auditor or a regulator.
How we work with dataManaged operation
Hosting, monitoring, maintenance and support for the systems we deliver. One accountable supplier for the life of the service, rather than a handover to a third party.
How we operateStandards
Standards we build to.
Our own platforms are public-facing, hold subscriber data and run without a maintenance window. Client work is held to the same standards.

Working together
Three ways to work with us.
Conventional supply, shared ownership, or taking on a platform you already run. The right route depends on what you bring and what you want to own at the end.
Build with us
A defined requirement, scoped, built and brought into service. Costs agreed before we commit. You own the code, the data and the accounts outright.
Partner with us
You bring the sector knowledge, the market or the data. We bring the platform and the engineering, invested rather than invoiced. We build it together and share ownership of what results, with the risk and the return.
Grow with us
An existing platform, ours or someone else’s, hosted, secured and developed further by a supplier who remains accountable for it.
Costed before commitment
Delivery and running costs agreed in advance, including the cost of operating the system over its life.
Full client ownership
Source code, data and infrastructure accounts belong to you. No proprietary lock-in.
Continuity of service
Documented and transferable. Nothing we deliver depends on its author staying available.
Long-term accountability
We remain responsible for what we deliver. Our longest-running platform has been in service since 2011.
