Engineering expertise.
Purpose-built software.
Better business control.

Hikstech builds licensed platforms and custom software for contractors, manufacturers, consultants and developers whose processes never fitted a generic package. Enquiries, estimates, approvals, inspections and invoices, in one controlled system your team will actually use.

  • Built by engineers
  • You own your data
  • Supported after go-live

Our approach

Software that fits the work, not the other way round.

Every Hikstech product began as a problem we solved for a real company, and every custom build starts the same way: with how your work actually happens. Who approves what, where the delays sit, which document matters. Only then do we write software.

  • Engineers who have run tenders, cleared consultant reviews and chased purchase orders lead every engagement.
  • Working software demonstrated every two weeks, tested by your team on real data while it is being built.
  • Hosting, monitoring and improvement under a written support agreement, so the system keeps fitting your business.

Where it applies

Recognise the problem? There is a platform for it.

The problem

Enquiries answered late, quotations in seven spreadsheet versions, invoices chased from memory.

Operations Hub registers every enquiry from the mailbox, drives the quotation, detects the client purchase order and carries the job through delivery notes, invoicing and receivables.

Operations Hub
The problem

A switchgear tender arrives as a single-line diagram and a specification, and estimation takes days.

PanelFlow reads the drawing into a feeder schedule, prices a bill of quantities across three OEM catalogues and produces the approval drawing set without a CAD seat.

PanelFlow
The problem

Cable sizing, voltage drop and discrimination studies that a consultant will accept, without a full power-systems suite.

GridCalc runs the everyday low-voltage calculations with every number traceable from input to report, with engineer and reviewer roles and submission-ready PDFs.

GridCalc
The problem

Dozens of tenants opening at once, submissions in email, and every delayed opening costing rent.

Iftitah gives each tenant a guided portal and puts every design review, variation, query and inspection on one controlled record from lease signing to store opening.

Iftitah
The problem we solve

Your business has outgrown disconnected tools.

Most capable companies run on a mixture of spreadsheets, email threads, shared drives and messaging apps. It works, until the day it does not: the quotation that went out from the wrong version, the approval nobody can find, the invoice that was never chased because nobody owned it.

The cost is rarely one dramatic failure. It is hours lost every day to re-keying, searching and asking. It is decisions made without the numbers, because the numbers live in six places. It is the senior person who becomes the system, because only they know where everything is.

Generic software asks the business to bend around it. Hikstech builds the other way: one record for each enquiry, job, tenant or panel, every approval logged, every answer in one place, and reporting that comes from the work itself rather than from a Friday afternoon of copying.

The tools did not fail. The business simply grew past them.

Products

Four platforms, one standard of engineering.

Hosted and supported by Hikstech, licensed to you. Each platform is in use on real work, and each one is shown here with its own screens.

For contractors, trading and service companies
Operations Hub

Every enquiry answered, every job invoiced, every number in one place.

The complete commercial cycle on one platform, from the first enquiry email to the final invoice, with every approval on record. Live in daily use at an electrical contractor.

  • Enquiry register with mailbox monitoring and 48-hour breach alerts
  • Quotation engine with configurable numbering and a price-to-win advisor
  • Finance view: job profitability, receivables ageing, tax position and cash flow
Operations Hub dashboard: open pipeline, win rate, invoiced and collected, items needing attention and active jobs
Real screen, example data
For LV panel builders and switchgear manufacturers
PanelFlow

From single-line diagram to approved drawings and shop-floor release.

Estimation, engineering and operations on one panel data model, without a CAD seat. The tender drawing goes in; the priced offer, the approval set and the production documents come out.

  • Reads the SLD and specification into a feeder schedule, with a read-reliability score
  • Tender BOQ with OEM catalogue numbers from three brands, expanding to engineering BOM and procurement
  • Complete approval set, consultant review portal, IEC 61439 routine verification and witnessed FAT

GridCalc

Everyday LV design calculations, traceable from input to report.

Cable sizing, short-circuit, voltage drop and protection discrimination to a standard consultants accept, without the overhead of a full power-systems suite. Original methods, original data.

  • Cable sizing, voltage drop and IEC 60909 short-circuit calculation
  • Protection discrimination studies with time-current curves and jurisdiction overlays
  • Engineer and reviewer roles, audit log, submission-ready PDF and Excel reports

For retail and mixed-use developers
Iftitah

Retail tenancy delivery, from lease signing to store opening.

Every tenant, submission, approval, variation and inspection on a single controlled record, with a guided portal for the tenant and an executive view for leadership. Every delayed opening costs rent; Iftitah exists to prevent it.

  • Guided tenant portal with opening countdown, lifecycle tabs and one named contact
  • Design reviews with per-drawing uploads and stamped Code A / B / C verdicts
  • Site inspections, snags and handover from the phone; executive, unit and tenant PDF reports

Why Hikstech

Built by engineers. Run like a partnership.

Clients do not stay with us because of a feature list. They stay because of how we work.

An engineer answers

Every enquiry, proposal and project is handled by a senior engineer who understands your work, not an account manager relaying it.

Your process comes first

We learn how your business really runs before a line of code is written, and the software fits you rather than the other way round.

You own what we build

Custom code, data and documentation are yours. No lock-in, no hidden dependencies, no surprises at handover.

We stay after go-live

Hosting, monitoring, updates and improvements under a written support agreement, so the system keeps fitting your business as it grows.

Truth before sales. If software is not the answer, or a smaller build will do, we say so in the first conversation.
Plain language. Proposals you can read in ten minutes, contracts without surprises, progress reports that say what was done and what is blocked.
Respect for your time. Meetings with an agenda, decisions asked for once and recorded, software that removes work from your week.
Services

Three practices, one engineering standard.

Every engagement is scoped against a business outcome and led by a senior engineer from the first discussion to the day-to-day running of the system.

01

Digital platforms and custom software

Operations platforms, estimation engines, portals and dashboards built around your approval chains and reporting lines. Owned by you when delivered.

When you need it

Your process is the business, and no package on the market was built for it.

Representative deliverables
  • Enquiry, quotation, purchase-order and invoicing workflows
  • Estimation and configuration engines with document reading
  • Client, tenant and supplier portals
  • Finance and KPI dashboards with controlled access

02

Websites and digital experience

Corporate sites built to the standard of the business behind them: fast, multilingual where needed, and designed to turn a visit into an enquiry.

When you need it

Your website does not reflect the quality of your work, or it brings visits but not enquiries.

Representative deliverables
  • Corporate and multi-brand websites
  • Product catalogues and specification libraries
  • Configurators and quote-request tools
  • Managed hosting, analytics and CRM integration
Explore this practice
03

Intelligent automation and integration

Correspondence becomes records, documents are read and matched, follow-ups go out on time, and the systems you already have are joined instead of re-keyed.

When you need it

Skilled people spend their days copying between systems, and things fall through the gaps.

Representative deliverables
  • Email and enquiry triage
  • Drawing, specification and purchase-order extraction
  • Follow-up, reminder and WhatsApp Business workflows
  • Integration with Zoho, Odoo, QuickBooks and ERP platforms
