What we ship
A small number of well-crafted products, each built for a specialist kind of work and meant to be lived with every day.
Afanor
A calm workspace for boarding, home stays, daycare, grooming and catteries — the animals, the stay, the people and the team, kept together.
- Animals and the people who bring them
- Stays, arrivals and collections
- Shared inbox and support desk
- Time off, and the places you run
ArhosfaWhat we stand for
Software that respects the work
These principles shape how we design products, write copy, and work with the organisations that rely on us.
Clarity over cleverness
We explain what we build in plain language. If a busy administrator would not recognise the words, they should not be on the screen.
Close to the work
Software improves when the people using it every week can reach the team behind it. We stay close enough to help when the work changes.
Built to last
Specialist organisations depend on accurate records and reliable communications. We design for trust, auditability and long-term operation.
What we do
More than a product catalogue
Hawdren brings together product engineering, communications infrastructure and practical support so specialist organisations can rely on the software they use.
Product engineering
Full-stack web applications on modern .NET and React, with the rigour that operational software demands.
Communications infrastructure
Reliable email and messaging for reminders, updates and customer contact — delivered with care for deliverability and consent.
Implementation support
We help organisations move across from what they use today, with migration planning and practical onboarding.
Lived-in products
Years of shipping software that has to work on a busy day, not only in a demonstration — for specialist teams who cannot afford vague tools.
