About First Option Software
First Option Software designs, builds and supports bespoke software for businesses with specific operational needs. Services cover new web, mobile and desktop applications, customer portals, internal platforms, workflow and reporting systems, legacy system modernisation, systems integration, database design, cloud infrastructure, data and analytics, AI integration, and user experience design.
The company works with organisations in sectors including attractions, logistics, healthcare and HR. Projects are scoped and priced individually after a discovery phase and proposal, and ongoing monitoring, maintenance and support arrangements are offered after launch. It also sells CommandCentr, a theme park operations system for training, checks, downtime and reporting that began as a bespoke project for Paultons Park and is used by parks including Legoland, Paultons Park and Six Flags.
First Option Software was formed in 2007 following a reorganisation of the development arm of First Option, which the company traces back to 1989. It is based in Alresford, Hampshire, England. The company holds a Royal Warrant as a supplier of software services (granted 2016) and ISO 27001 certification (2023).
Product: Bespoke web, mobile and desktop applications, customer portals, internal platforms and system integrations, plus the CommandCentr theme park operations software.
