Custom Software & Internal Tools for Small Businesses
For small businesses outgrowing their spreadsheets.
Most small businesses don’t need a platform. They need one specific thing that their spreadsheet, their inbox and three subscriptions are currently doing badly between them: scheduling, a roster, inventory, a form that has to reach the right person. We build that one thing, on infrastructure we already run, and we’re straight with you when off-the-shelf software would genuinely be the better answer.
What usually goes wrong
The spreadsheet became load-bearing
It works until two people edit it at once, or until the person who built it leaves. The failure is quiet and it takes a while to notice what it cost.
Four subscriptions that don’t talk to each other
Each one solves a slice, none owns the whole workflow, and the integration is a person copying between tabs.
Custom software has a reputation for never finishing
Usually because it was scoped as a platform when the business needed a feature. We’d rather ship the narrow thing that works than start something we can’t finish.
