Need a trusted software development partner?

Thackr helps agencies deliver bespoke software, customer portals, internal systems and automation for their clients, without hiring. You get a senior developer on call. Your clients get software that works.

01Who I work with

Built to slot in behind your agency.

  • Web design agencies

    Custom builds for when a site needs more than a CMS.

  • Creative agencies

    Concepts turned into working, maintainable software.

  • Marketing agencies

    Portals, tools and pages that carry the campaign.

  • SEO agencies

    Fast, technically sound builds that rank and convert.

  • IT support companies

    The bespoke tools your clients ask you for, built properly.

  • MSPs

    Custom software and automation alongside the services you run.

  • Digital consultancies

    A delivery partner for the technical work you scope.

02How I help

You keep the client relationship. I handle the software.

  • Add development capacity without adding headcount or overheads.
  • Win projects that need custom software instead of turning them away.
  • Bring in a specialist for the technical parts you'd rather not own.
  • Scope and quote faster, with a developer who answers quickly.
03Ways we can work

Three ways to bring me in.

01

White-label

I build under your brand. Your client sees your team, not mine, and you present the work as your own.

02

Joint delivery

We work side by side, each on what we do best. You lead the relationship and the design; I handle the build.

03

Direct introduction

Refer a client to me directly. I look after them, keep you in the loop, and respect the relationship you've built.

04What I build

The software your clients keep asking for.

  • Customer portals
  • Internal systems
  • Business automation
  • Dashboards & reporting
  • Asset management
  • Booking systems
  • Systems integration
  • Progressive web apps
  • AI-assisted tools

The focus is always the business problem, not the technology.

Honest advice

Direct access to the developer

You talk to the person writing the code. No account managers, no hand-offs.

10+ years of business systems

A decade designing the operational software that businesses actually run on.

UK based

Same time zone, plain English and easy to reach when a project needs it.

Josh Thackeray, founder of Thackr
06About Josh

The developer you'd actually be working with.

I'm Josh Thackeray. For over ten years I've built the operational systems businesses run on, from customer portals and internal tools to automation and integrations. I work with each partner directly, so there's no team to brief and no message lost in translation.

My approach is business-first. I care about the outcome for your client as much as the code, and I'll always tell you honestly what's worth building and what isn't. That's what keeps agencies coming back.

More about how I work
07Common questions
Will you approach or poach our clients?

No, never. The client relationship is yours and it stays yours. It's the single most important part of how I work with agencies, and I'd rather lose a project than a partner's trust.

Can you work under our brand?

Yes. White-label is one of the main ways I work. The build is delivered as your team's work, and your client never needs to know a separate developer was involved.

How do we start working together?

A short call to talk through what you need, with no commitment. If there's a live project we'll scope it; if not, we set things up so you can bring me in quickly when one comes along.

What size of project do you take on?

Anything from a small tool to a full system, typically between £1,000 and £50,000. If a job's better handled another way, I'll say so.

Who owns the code and the client?

You, or your client, own the code that's built. The client relationship is always yours. Nothing is locked to me.

Where are you based?

Sheffield, working with agencies across the UK. Most work happens remotely over calls and screen-sharing, and I'm happy to meet in person when it helps.

Let's talk about a partnership.

Whether you've got a live project or just want a developer on call, start with a conversation. No hard sell, and no obligation.
