Founder-led software for operational records and ownership.

Blackvault Systems is a UK founder-led software company founded by Christopher Marston, building products and services for teams that need stronger records, workflows and data ownership.

The company begins with Blackvault CRM, its flagship local-first Windows product for relationship and operational management, and pairs it with bespoke software, migration and implementation support.

Built from real operational experience.

Chris Marston

Chris Marston founded Blackvault Systems after seeing how often capable teams lose time when systems are scattered, ownership is unclear and subscriptions stack up.

Chris built Blackvault Systems to design and deliver supportable software for records, workflow systems, migration pathways, data ownership and operational recovery.
