01 — Local economy
Business in Oxford
MINI cars roll off BMW's Plant Oxford in Cowley, a short drive from Oxford University Press, the world's largest university press. The university's medical and engineering research has produced spin-outs such as Oxford Nanopore, which cluster at the Oxford Science Park and nearby campuses, while colleges, hospitals and tourism support a large service economy.
Where software helps: Oxford's spin-outs and research suppliers run grant and investor reporting, lab inventory and R&D tax claims together, while Cowley's automotive suppliers must meet just-in-sequence deliveries to the MINI plant.
ERP and AI for education, pharma and auto-component businesses in Oxford
What we would build first for the industries Oxford is known for.
Education & study-abroad
ERP
Admissions pipelines, fee schedules and collections, batch and faculty scheduling, and for consultancies, application tracking by student, university and intake.
AI agent
Our own AI Counsellor: a WhatsApp agent that qualifies student leads, answers course and process questions from your approved content, and books counselling sessions around the clock.
Batch and expiry tracking from raw material to finished pack, formula management, QC release before dispatch, and audit trails that inspectors and customers can follow.
AI agent
A document agent that drafts batch records, certificates of analysis and customer responses from approved data, with every output reviewed by QA before it is used.
Customer schedules turned into production plans, lot and heat-number traceability from raw material to dispatch, and the packing, labelling and advance-shipping-notice rules each customer demands.
AI agent
An agent that reconciles customer schedules, goods-receipt notes and debit notes every day and flags mismatches before they become payment disputes.

05 — FAQ
Custom software in Oxford: common questions
Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Oxford?
Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Oxford; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.
How do time zones work between Oxford and Jaipur?
Jaipur is 5 h 30 min ahead of Oxford on standard time, and 4 h 30 min ahead during daylight saving time there. A 09:00 start there is 14:30 in Jaipur. Standard 09:00–18:00 office days overlap by 3 h 30 min to 4 h 30 min, which is enough for live calls, demos and same-day answers.
What would a first project look like for a education business?
Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For education & study-abroad that is often lead & admissions pipeline and fee schedules & collections. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
