Software for the machines that run film.
From keeping an ageing scanner alive to the workflow connecting labs and photographers — and, when nothing off-the-shelf fits, software built from scratch.
SP3000 & SP500 virtualisation
Your scanner's control software, moved off failing Windows XP hardware onto a modern, monitored Linux host — installed entirely remotely, with automated daily backups from day one. It's our most requested service, and the one most labs didn't know was possible without shipping the scanner away.
- Zero downtime during migration
- Automated daily backups from day one
- 24/7 uptime monitoring after handoff
- SP500 compatible, not just SP3000
Bromura
Cloud-hosted order and workflow management, built for how film labs actually run — not retrofitted from generic ticketing software. Every order tracked from intake to delivery, on one board that labs and the photographers they shoot for both see.
- Cloud-hosted only — nothing to self-host or maintain
- Real-time status, from received to ready
- Built around how labs actually process orders
"A kiosk system that automates our scanning and distribution, built around exactly how we work."
— L'Instant Lab, ParisCustom bespoke systems
When off-the-shelf isn't the answer, we build it from scratch. For L'Instant Lab in Paris, that meant a bespoke kiosk system to automate their scanning and distribution end to end — designed around their actual floor, not a generic template.
Every bespoke build starts with a consultation, scoped to what your lab actually needs — not a one-size-fits-all product.
We're building past Bromura
Bromura started as order and workflow management. We're extending that same lab-first engineering into more of the software a growing lab and its photographers run on day to day — scoped with each lab, not shipped as a generic add-on.
We're also building new software for scanning itself — not just the orders that come after it. Details soon; if you want an early look, get in touch.
