How MCD Systems is powering digital transformation across Teesside and beyond
THE TRANSFORMERS
In a world full of over-hyped tech and fleeting trends, MCD Systems is building something more enduring – high-quality, user-focused digital solutions that power critical operations across the Tees Valley and beyond.
With a reputation built on results rather than noise, Kirkleatham-based MCD delivers digital infrastructure that is practical, trusted and central to how ambitious organisations operate today.
Its mission is to deliver measurable improvement through smart, resilient technology – built with purpose and delivered with precision.
From supporting field operations and helping teams evidence regulatory needs to keeping business-critical processes running smoothly, this award-winning Teesside company builds systems that perform – reliably, effectively and where they’ re needed most.
Founded in 2017 by managing director Lyle McCalmont, MCD Systems was born from a clear vision: to bring clarity, usability and engineering excellence to the digital tools people rely on every day.
From regulation-heavy sectors to logistics and infrastructure, its systems underpin work that demands accuracy, resilience and results. Its focus is on solving real problems with thoughtful, durable solutions.
“ We’ re a full-service digital partner,” says Lyle.“ That means we take projects from initial concept right through to launch – handling strategy, design, development and deployment in-house.
“ But it doesn’ t stop there. We analyse performance before, during and after delivery. That data drives constant refinement. We don’ t just launch and leave – we iterate, adapt and optimise.
“ The systems we build aren’ t just reliable and efficient, they’ re well-crafted, easy to use and built to evolve with our clients’ needs. We’ re only satisfied when we know we’ re adding value to our clients.”
MCD is known for delivering in missioncritical environments, where traceability, usability and resilience are essential.
Its products blend user-first design with dependable infrastructure, capable of handling scale, security and tough field conditions.
Advanced geofencing, deep integration capability and a strong understanding of enterprise data needs underpin its offerings, providing real-time visibility and control across key operational areas.
Be it safety audits, training workflows or compliance logs, MCD’ s applications are purpose-built and shaped by the people who use them.
Recent innovations allow field-based teams to capture and log activity through dropdowns, media uploads, GPS and logic-driven workflows – with leadership gaining oversight through real-time dashboards.
It’ s also begun integrating artificial intelligence into its work – not for the sake of novelty, but to create practical business
