01 — Local economy

Business in Stoke-on-Trent

Six pottery towns merged in 1910 to form the city, and makers such as Steelite, Churchill China, Portmeirion and Emma Bridgewater still produce tableware here, with Wedgwood at nearby Barlaston. Online betting firm bet365 is headquartered in Stoke and is a major employer, and the city's position on the M6 and A50 has drawn large distribution centres for retailers.

Also known as Stoke and The Potteries.

Where software helps: Stoke's ceramics makers manage kiln-batch production, glaze and shade grading, seconds and breakage, and export orders to hotel and restaurant buyers worldwide, which basic stock and invoicing tools rarely model well.

05 — FAQ

Custom software in Stoke-on-Trent: common questions

Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Stoke-on-Trent?

Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Stoke-on-Trent; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.

How do time zones work between Stoke-on-Trent and Jaipur?

Jaipur is 5 h 30 min ahead of Stoke-on-Trent 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 handicraft business?

Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For handicrafts & furniture that is often order-wise production tracking and artisan & workshop job-work. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
