Technology services · For UK co-operatives
Websites, collaboration, automation, AI, cybersecurity and managed infrastructure, shaped around how your members and team work. Start with one pressure point or plan a joined-up programme.
Keep useful tools · Own key accounts · Plan for continuity
Ask about a focused review of key account ownership, recovery arrangements and backups. An account inventory and prioritised action plan can give your team a clear starting point. We agree the scope, access required and price before work starts.
Discuss a focused reviewWhere we can help
Every co-op has a different model, level of internal capacity and starting point. Choose a focused piece of work or connect several services into one practical plan.
Build or improve your public website and the member journeys around it, from enquiries and applications to restricted resources. We connect the parts that fit your co-op instead of forcing one platform onto every model.
Explore website buildsSet up and manage email, calendars and shared files around the way your team works. Keep a useful existing provider, improve it, or consider an open-source option when greater control is worth the change.
Explore collaboration servicesMove information between forms, inboxes, spreadsheets, CRMs and member systems. Route enquiries, start onboarding and send reminders while keeping exceptions and ownership clear.
Explore workflow automationHelp your team draft routine replies, find approved internal knowledge and prepare admin work. Access stays limited, and people review consequential decisions and external communications.
Explore managed AIAssess the websites, web apps, email and infrastructure your co-op relies on, then strengthen the controls that matter. We can also plan recovery and help contain and recover from incidents within an agreed scope.
Explore cybersecurityRun websites and applications on managed infrastructure, move them with a tested plan and keep them patched, backed up and monitored. Support can continue after delivery or end with a documented handover.
Explore managed hostingDigital sovereignty
Sovereignty is practical: your co-op owns the important accounts, understands where its systems and data live, can export its information and has a realistic plan if a provider or volunteer changes.
How we work
Clear scope, visible trade-offs and enough documentation for the co-op to stay in control after delivery.
We map the systems, access, member and team journeys, constraints and useful tools you already have. Together we identify the outcome that matters most and what should stay in place.
You get a written scope with outcomes, dependencies, responsibilities and options. Cost reflects the users, systems, migration, training and ongoing support involved in your actual project.
We phase the work around your capacity, test it, document it and help people adopt it. Then we provide agreed ongoing care or hand over the administrator access and operating notes.
A resource we maintain
Coops.uk is an independent practical resource built and maintained by OpsHelp. Use it to learn about co-operative models, work through early decisions and find useful next steps before you are ready for a technology proposal.
