Deploy the business application your teams need
Helium helps support and programme managers turn a targeted need into a robust application their teams can use, in 8 weeks.
The problems we address
- 1Your critical processes still rely on scattered Excel files.
- 2Your existing tools don't talk to each other, or create silos.
- 3Market solutions are too generic for your business rules.
- 4Traditional IT projects take too long to unblock a pain point quickly.
- 5Your teams know what should improve, but the right tool doesn't exist yet.
Promised result
A robust first version, deployed, used by the teams and improved from their feedback.
We understand your business well enough not to build the wrong thing.
Our offers to move from uncertainty to a clear system
Custom business application
A robust first version, deployed and used by your teams, built around an industrial pain point.
What's included
- ✓Product scoping and prioritisation
- ✓Design and development
- ✓Deployment to the teams
- ✓User feedback loop
“We had a critical process kept alive with Excel files, email threads and lots of manual checks. Helium turned our business rules into a usable application without dragging the teams into an oversized project. The first version secured the process and brought out the right field feedback.”

The proof
ellipse grew out of a targeted industrial need and was turned into a usable product. That is the approach we apply to your pain point.
Discover ellipse →“ellipse showed us that a very specific business need could be equipped quickly without launching another big IT project. Teams understood the application from the very first uses, because it answered a concrete pain point rather than a generic specification.”
