About Nhance
Providing software, design and consultancy since 2019.
Nhance Group Ltd was founded in 2019 to carry forward the software consultancy of Hardcoresoftware Ltd, the company Nathan Murados established in 2012. Hardcoresoftware continues today, focused on outsourcing, recruitment and start-up funding. Both companies have championed the same thing from the start: the engineering discipline of finishing work properly, inspecting it closely, and releasing it only when it serves our clients’ best interests.
Our work has served companies listed on the London, New York, Zurich, Oslo, Sydney and Nasdaq stock exchanges, alongside government bodies and some of the best-known names in media.
- Shell
- Nestlé
- Rightmove
- XPS Group
- TOMRA
- National Australia Bank
- Fox Business
- NHS
- National Geographic
- Groupama
- Achilles
Our people have also delivered work for
- Landmark

The reality
Spreadsheets grow into systems they were never meant for.
Many companies are slowed down by manual work and outdated tools. Processes depend on what only a few people know, and small inefficiencies add up to daily friction.
A quick workaround often becomes business-critical, hard to change and easy to break, and teams can spend their time fighting it instead of using it.
Businesses can gain an advantage over their competitors with the right technical expertise. Without it, they miss the chance to work more efficiently and to find profitable new opportunities.
Typical options
Software can be bought, connected or built.
Off-the-shelf
Sometimes what you need already exists, and you can set it up and start using it. Classic examples are a basic inventory or booking system and a website where you edit your own blog, stock levels and services.
Connected
For specialist work, a single product is unlikely to do everything you need. Connecting a few off-the-shelf systems can sometimes be a cost-effective way to meet most of your needs.
Custom built
If your organisation does something rare, doing it like everyone else is unlikely to gain you much. You need something purpose-built by people who understand the context it will operate in and work closely with those who will use it.
Our services
For businesses
01Consultation
Solving a problem starts with understanding what it is and what it isn’t.
A consultation lets you explain your situation, constraints and goals so that we can outline your best options. It may cover your stated, actual and implied needs, as well as what your staff can take on, your rough budget and any deadlines.
02Off-the-shelf assistance
If an off-the-shelf option is best for you, we’ll give you a short list and explain why each one fits. If your own team can set it up, we’ll say so, and we’ll still be available if you need us.
For setup, configuration or rollout, we can point you to people who can help, or help you directly if we’re a good fit for each other.
03Connected products
Where no single tool fits but a collection would be suitable, we’ll recommend a small set of options that work together.
We’ll then help you get them installed, usable and connected, either by suggesting people who can help or by helping you directly if we’re a good fit.
04Bespoke builds
It may be that you need something bespoke. If so, we’ll help you choose how to deliver it: in-house, externally or both.
If working with us makes sense, we’ll build it and leave you with something you can rely on without needing us around to make it work. We’ll try to point you somewhere useful if we’re not the best fit, perhaps because of technical, legal or specialist requirements.
05Technical partnership
If your requirements keep changing, we can provide fractional CTO services or a broader long-term partnership. That may include helping with technical design and recruitment, building part or all of the system, setting in-house standards, supporting delivery, providing technical oversight and working with your team.
We’ll scale our involvement up or down with your needs. Once you’re comfortable that things are running smoothly, we’ll step back to light oversight or hand over completely.
For technology teams
01Guided technical retrospectives
Retrospectives often end without a step anyone can act on. We facilitate structured retrospectives focused on delivery, quality and technical decisions.
We sit outside your team’s reporting line and internal politics, so we can ask useful questions even when they are uncomfortable. Your team sets what happened against what was intended and works out why. It leaves with a few concrete points to act on and measurable evidence to validate them.
02Independent or paired architecture review
We provide independent reviews of existing or proposed architectures to identify needless complexity, hidden risk, scaling concerns and long-term maintenance issues. A review can come early in a design, before delivery or in response to pain that is hard to pin down internally.
You receive a written assessment of what looks sound and what needs attention. It shows where a small change now could prevent a larger problem later, without forcing a rewrite or prescribing dogmatic solutions.
03Developer clinic
The developer clinic is a one-hour session, one-to-one or in a small group. Engineers bring a specific technical problem, a design doubt, a trade-off or a legacy constraint and talk it through with someone who has been there before.
There’s no assessment of anyone’s performance and nobody expects a perfect answer. The aim is to confirm an approach, find a simpler option or see more clearly what a compromise costs.
04Forensic code analysis
Perhaps your business is considering buying software, or already has software that seems fragile, slow to change or unpredictable. We tell you how well the code is structured, where risk is concentrated and where changes might be disproportionately expensive or dangerous.
We can look at architecture, dependencies, patterns of change, ownership boundaries, code quality and fitness for purpose. The result is a factual account of what is reliable, what is worth keeping and where effort is best spent.
How we work
Because you work directly with experienced people who explain technical detail clearly, you tend to get something useful sooner. Here is a good example of our approach.
Assess
We start with anything from a conversation to a forensic analysis of your existing processes.
Report
Once we understand your needs, we give you our recommendations on how to meet them.
Build
Depending on what suits you, we can recommend suppliers, oversee the work or do it with you directly.
Measure
We measure adoption, performance and reliability, then suggest changes based on feedback and results.
Handover
We make sure you can use, grow and maintain whichever system you choose.
Tested
Our systems are covered by thousands of comprehensive, automated tests. Every change you receive must first pass them on a separate test copy of your project using fake data.
Reviewed
Each release will be checked by us against a written standard, with an emphasis on the most business-critical paths. Code reviews, periodic audits and security reviews as standard.
Accountable
Nhance will be your supplier, with one dedicated account director answering directly to you: someone who understands your business and is directly accountable.
The founder
Nathan Murados
Founder|Account Director
For more than a decade Nathan has been providing software, and the practices behind it, to organisations of every kind.
He has helped publishers and media houses from National Geographic and The History Channel to Engadget, Epicurious and ComiXology; public bodies including the NHS and the former UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy; and Landmark, whose systems sit behind almost the entire UK mortgage market.
Most recently, from 2022 to 2025, he was architect and principal engineer on XPS Group’s Aurora, the pensions platform that now serves more than 1.3 million members.
What those engagements share is the way he steers his company to work: understand the people who use the system, promise only what will be delivered, and deliver nothing short of excellence.
