Most businesses don't need more software.

They need fewer missed calls, faster replies and one version of the truth.

  1. i.

    Enquiries go unanswered

    Calls ring out after hours and DMs sit unread while the team is busy.

  2. ii.

    Data lives in ten places

    Stock, sales and staff records sit in different tools that never agree.

  3. iii.

    Compliance is a scramble

    Right-to-work checks and sponsor duties get chased at the last minute.

We built Bakervaughn to fix all three, with one team and one connected system.

Your whole business, running on one system. 

Calls, enquiries, stock, staff and accounts, connected. Nothing re-typed, nothing missed.

How it all connects

First click to payroll. Nothing re-typed.

Each service works on its own. Connected, the data flows from one stage to the next without anyone typing it twice.

Built by operators

Built from the shop floor up.

Our leadership has spent more than 15 years in UK food, retail and hospitality. We know what a Friday-night rush, a supplier shortfall and a Home Office audit feel like, because we've lived them.

We rolled out ERPNext across our own businesses first. Then came the problems ERP couldn't solve: missed calls, slow replies and sponsor-licence paperwork. So we built Proxe, the AI receptionist and VisorFlow.

How we work

Fix the one thing first. Then connect the rest.

We look at how work actually moves.

Calls, enquiries, stock, staff. We map where things get missed and point to the one thing worth fixing first. If a spreadsheet will do, we'll say so.
