Workflow automation and custom software for small businesses.
Not every hour saved needs AI. Sometimes the fix is two systems that finally talk to each other, a dashboard that puts your numbers in one place, or a small tool built around how your shop actually runs. We scope and build those too, and we bring AI into the mix only where it earns its place.
Most builds start with an Opportunity Assessment, so we are building the thing that saves the most hours, not the thing that sounded good in a meeting.
Scoped per engagement
Connect the tools you already pay for
Most small businesses already own the software they need. The problem is that the pieces do not talk. The estimate lives in one place, the invoice in another, and somebody retypes the customer’s name three times on the way through.
We connect the tools you have. Today that means QuickBooks, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365: accounting, email, calendars, spreadsheets, and shared files. If your industry software has a way to connect, we look at that too, and we tell you honestly if it does not.
We do not resell software or take referral fees. If the tool you already pay for is the right one, we say so.
Automate the repetitive middle
Between the customer asking and the customer paying, there is a stretch of work that is the same every time. The confirmation email. The follow-up on a quote that went quiet. The reminder on an invoice that is two weeks late. The spreadsheet row someone copies from a form.
That middle is where automation pays. Each piece is small. Together they are hours a week. We build these to be boring and reliable: a plain log of what ran, an alert when something fails, and a written note on how to turn it off.
A dashboard that puts your numbers in one place
If you open four tabs every Monday to work out how last week went, that is a dashboard problem. We pull the numbers you actually use (jobs booked, cash in, quotes outstanding, hours by crew) into one page that updates itself.
No new software to learn. Usually it is a Google Sheet or a simple page that reads from QuickBooks and your calendar.
Small custom tools, only when nothing off the shelf fits
Custom software is the last resort, not the first. It costs more, and you own the upkeep. But sometimes nothing off the shelf fits: a quoting calculator with your pricing rules, an intake form that asks exactly what your office needs, a scheduling board for how your crews actually move.
When that is the case, we build the smallest version that does the job, document it, and hand over the code. You are not locked in to us. Before you decide, read Do you need new software or a better process? Most of the time the honest answer is the process, and we would rather tell you that than sell you a build.
Examples by trade
These are the shapes we build. Yours will differ, which is why we scope from your workflow and not from a template.
-
Contractors: quote follow-up
A quote goes out. If nobody replies in three days, a short follow-up goes out on its own, with the estimator copied. A quiet quote stops being a forgotten quote.
-
Clinics and law offices: intake form to CRM
A new client fills out one form. Their details land in your CRM or case system, a welcome email goes out, and the front desk gets a task. Nothing is retyped.
-
Field service: scheduling confirmations
The evening before a job, the customer gets an email or text with the time window and the tech’s name. Reschedules come back to the calendar, not to a voicemail.
-
Any business on QuickBooks: invoice reminders
Invoices past due get a polite reminder at 7, 14, and 30 days, and you get a Friday list of who still owes what.
How we scope a build
Nearly every build starts with a half-day Opportunity Assessment. We watch the work, find where the hours go, and rank the fixes by effort and payoff. If a build is on that list, we come back with a fixed quote: what it does, what it connects to, what it costs, and what upkeep looks like.
You decide from there. Smaller pieces often fit inside an Implementation Sprint. Bigger ones get their own timeline and their own quote, agreed before anything starts.
Questions we get
Do we need the assessment first?
For anything beyond a single simple automation, yes. It is how we avoid building the wrong thing. If the problem is already narrow and clear, say so on the intro call and we will scope from there.
Who owns the code and the accounts?
You do. Everything runs in your accounts, and custom code is handed over with documentation. If you stop working with us, nothing stops working.
What about our industry software?
If it has a way to connect (an export, an API, or a built-in integration), we can usually work with it. If it does not, we tell you before you spend anything.
Will you maintain it?
Every build comes with documentation and a handoff. If you want us to keep an eye on it as things change, that is the ongoing support retainer.
