The Cerberus Story

Cerberus Software Solutions is a custom
software development and hosting service
based in Rugeley, Staffordshire.

It started life in 2004, when managing director Dylan Franklin decided to use his career background in systems development to set up a business creating websites and desktop applications.

As the company’s customer base expanded, Dylan discovered that many clients were looking for a way to keep their existing IT systems rather than invest in expensive new hardware and software.

As a result, he has built up extensive knowledge and skills in maintaining legacy technologies so customers could improve or adapt their existing systems and keep them running.

At the same time, the company has moved with the times. It develops software using the latest technologies, providing solutions for platforms such as mobile phones, tablets and the cloud.

Cerberus currently employs three full-time developers, but also uses specialist contractors with professional expertise in specific technologies.

The company has a large portfolio of work, which includes:

  • EPOS and retail management
  • warehouse order management
  • online auctions
  • self-service kiosks
  • ANPR parking management
