Thirty years of history, one coherent website

Pisys has been building cloud-based HSEQ (Health, Safety, Environment and Quality) software since 1988 — proudly Scottish, with a worldwide client base. Their founders worked on survey boats in some of the most hostile environments on the planet, and that operational experience shaped a product suite built for genuinely mission-critical environments. Their client list includes Amazon, Maersk, Subsea 7, Petrofac, and Husky Energy.

But the website hadn't kept pace. Over 100 pages of accumulated content had made the site sprawling and difficult to navigate — impressive in depth, but impossible to read at a glance. The brief was to overhaul it entirely: modernise the design, condense the architecture, and create something that could communicate 30+ years of credibility to a new prospect in under a minute.

Design and build, delivered in full.

Website design Website build Information architecture Content strategy UX B2B
100+ pages of accumulated content
Decades of additions had created a sprawling site that was impossible to navigate efficiently — particularly for a new prospect evaluating the business.
Outdated visual design
The old site looked like it predated the products it was selling — creating a credibility gap for a company whose software runs inside some of the world's largest organisations.
30 years of history to carry
Pisys's longevity and track record is a genuine competitive advantage — the redesign had to modernise without erasing the weight of 30+ years in the industry.
Enterprise audience expectations
With clients like Amazon and Maersk, the site had to meet the expectations of procurement and operations decision-makers — not just look modern, but feel credible and trustworthy.
Before vs after

From 100 pages to a focused, modern site

The old site had grown organically over decades — more content added, rarely anything removed. The redesign started with ruthless information architecture: what does a new prospect actually need to see, and in what order?

Before
100+ pages, sprawling structure
Outdated visual language
Difficult to navigate for new visitors
No clear content hierarchy
Design didn't reflect enterprise clients
Broken images and legacy pages
After
Focused site — clear page architecture
Modern, professional visual identity
Immediate clarity for new prospects
Structured content hierarchy
Credibility matched to client calibre
Clean, consistent build throughout
Website design & build

Every page built with purpose

The redesign covers the full site — homepage, product pages, blog, contact and demo request. Each page was designed to serve a specific job: communicate the product clearly, establish credibility with enterprise clients, and move a visitor toward a demo request. The Pisys navy, red, and white palette was retained and refined — familiar enough for existing clients, modern enough for new ones.

Client credibility

Built for a company that works with the world's biggest

Pisys's software runs inside some of the world's most demanding operational environments — energy, healthcare, food production, and global logistics. The founders' background working in hostile offshore environments gave the company a genuine understanding of safety-critical operations that competitors can't replicate. The website needed to reflect that calibre and communicate it immediately to procurement and operations decision-makers.

Credibility built over decades

One of the brief's core challenges was honouring Pisys's history without letting it weigh the site down. A company operating since 1988 has real credibility — the redesign made sure that story was told clearly, not buried in legacy content.

1988
Founded in Aberdeen, Scotland
Pisys Limited incorporated on 26 February 1988 — company number SC109490. Founded by engineers with hands-on experience in hostile offshore environments, building mission-critical systems for the upstream energy sector.
Products
Pisys 360 — a family of HSEQ products
Permit to Work, Task Risk Manager, Action Tracking, Operations Training Simulator, Cloud-based MEM Training, and Incident Management — a suite of specialised tools built to integrate, not a single monolithic system.
Clients
Worldwide client base across demanding sectors
Energy, healthcare, food production, logistics, and more. Clients include Amazon, Maersk, Subsea 7, Petrofac, and Husky Energy — organisations that cannot afford safety software that fails.

100+ page site redesigned and rebuilt from the ground up — condensed, modernised, and repositioned to match the calibre of Pisys's enterprise client base.
Outcomes

A site that finally matches the business

The Pisys project is the most complex information architecture challenge in the Studio Kaiso portfolio — taking a 100+ page legacy site and restructuring it into something a prospect can understand in a single visit. It demonstrates the ability to work with established B2B businesses with long histories and demanding client bases.
