About Blocks

Blocks is MakeMoreDigital's platform for building intelligent business applications. It is modular, composable technology that lets organisations configure workflows, AI agents and data pipelines without the usual development overhead.

Instead of months of custom development, Blocks lets you assemble pre-built components tailored to your industry. It is enterprise software that adapts to how you work, not the other way around.

The problem with software development

Digital technology is the backbone of modern economic growth. As a government priority sector, it covers AI, cybersecurity, data infrastructure and the platforms every other industry depends on.

The problem is that building good software is still too slow and too expensive. Most development projects take longer and cost more than expected.

What we build for technology companies

Development with AI tools

We use AI to speed up application development:

  • Describe requirements, get working code — AI assists with implementation
  • Secure test environments — test safely before deploying
  • Automated testing and review — catch problems before they reach users
  • Works with existing tools — integrates with your current systems

Infrastructure management

Instead of managing complex cloud infrastructure manually, we help teams:

  • Configure deployments clearly
  • Automate scaling and recovery
  • Monitor performance continuously
  • Maintain security and compliance automatically

Faster prototyping

We help teams:

  • Build working prototypes quickly
  • Test ideas with real users
  • Improve based on feedback
  • Move successful work to production

Results

A technology company achieved:

  • Three times faster development
  • 50% fewer defects reaching users
  • Measurable improvement in time to market

Supporting UK technology growth

Better software development helps by:

  • Making development faster so more organisations can build what they need
  • Reducing cost of starting and growing technology businesses
  • Building skills as teams work with better tools
  • Improving security with good practice built in from the start
