Skeillebank Ltd · We fix business headaches
Slow systems, spreadsheets that run the business, software you pay for but only half use. Tell us what isn't running as well as it could, and we'll give you a straight answer on how to fix it, and whether you're paying more than you need to.
Common headaches
These are the kinds of problems we fix. Most don't need expensive new software.
Usually a slow database, not slow people. Often fixed without changing anything your team uses.
We find the bottleneck, whether that's queries, indexes or jobs blocking each other, and remove it.
Connect them so data is entered once, or replace several with one that actually fits.
Turn it into a simple app the whole team can use, that doesn't break when someone sorts the wrong column.
Bank-to-bank payments by QR code can cost less than cards for many small businesses.
We look at what you pay for and what you actually use, and tell you honestly what you could drop.
How it works
Book a free 30-minute call, or email a few sentences. No technical words needed.
We ask questions and look at what you use today, and where the time or money goes.
Fix what you have, build something small, switch to something cheaper, or leave it alone. If it isn't worth doing, we'll say so.
Headaches we've already treated
Each one fixes a specific problem: most for a specific kind of business, one for your evenings out. They show the kind of fix we build.
Headache Screenshotted tickets, queues when the wifi drops, and fees on every ticket sold.

Headache Guessing how many staff a Saturday needs, and getting it wrong.

Headache Finding somewhere you both like, within budget, on an evening you're both free, and ending up at the same two places again.
Treatment Say what you want in one line and get two or three complete plans: where to go, why it suits you both, when to leave, and a backup if it rains. Friends can vote on a night out too. Belfast first. Learn more about iKveld →
Got an idea instead?
We also build apps from scratch: web apps and APIs in C#, mobile apps, and the database behind them. And on the right idea, we're willing to go into partnership and build it alongside you.
Who is behind Skeillebank
Skeillebank is run by Ivar Myrum Hagen, a database and .NET developer with more than 20 years of experience building and tuning SQL Server systems for fund administration, retail marketing and gaming.
That work has meant making slow systems fast, moving data safely between systems that were never meant to talk to each other, and turning old code into something a team can keep working on. EntryCode, ShiftSense, BokaPay and iKveld are built on the same foundations: C#, .NET and SQL Server, on Azure.
Ivar trained as an engineer (BEng in Automation, Kongsberg College of Engineering) and is a certified Professional Scrum Master.
