PB Labs Ltd was set up in Bristol in 2026 by James Proctor and Tom Billinghurst. Between us we've spent 50 years building the systems businesses actually run on: billing, scheduling and payroll for the private care sector, where a mistake means someone doesn't get paid and someone else doesn't get their visit.
Nearly all of that work was bespoke. We built systems around how a particular business ran, rather than asking the business to change to suit the software. That's still how we work now.
Today we're building our own apps. Pathfinder handles accounting workflow. Trailblazer keeps track of vehicle movements. There are more to come. They're built for small and medium-sized companies, and if one of them doesn't quite fit the way you do things, we can adapt it so it does.
We also made Vinyl Monkey, a mobile app for keeping track of your record collection. It started as something we wanted ourselves, and it turns out we weren't the only ones.
