Complete business systems

The system your business runs on, built to fit.

Most service companies end up running on five or six tools that were never built to talk to each other, with a spreadsheet holding the middle together. We replace that with one application shaped around the way your company already works. When it ships, you own it: the code, the data, the accounts.

Sound familiar?

Signs you have outgrown what you are using.

What is in it

Intake to invoice, in one place.

Every build starts from the job you need done, so no two systems come out the same. These are the pieces most service companies end up wanting.

Customers and jobs

One record per customer with the whole history attached: quotes, visits, photos, invoices, and the note about the dog in the back yard.

Quoting and estimates

Build a quote from your own price list, send it for signature, and turn the signed version into a scheduled job without retyping a line of it.

Scheduling and dispatch

Who is where, what they need on the truck, and what changed since this morning. The crew sees it on their phone.

Field capture

Forms, photos, hours, and materials recorded where the work happens, instead of on a napkin that reaches the office on Friday.

Invoicing and payment

Invoice straight from the job record, push it to QuickBooks, and take payment through Stripe or your existing processor.

Job costing and reporting

Labor and materials measured against the quote, job by job, so you can see which kind of work is worth taking more of.

This is gonna be a game changer, your admin and your contractors are going to really appreciate it.

How it works

Built in phases, with a price on each one.

You are never asked to sign off on a year of work you cannot picture yet. You approve one phase at a time, and you see working software early.

Step one

A 30-minute brainstorm

You walk us through how the work flows today. We talk through the snags and tell you honestly whether custom software is worth it for you.

Step two

A plan in plain language

A written plan of the system you want, split into phases, each with a fixed price quoted before any work starts.

Step three

Phase one ships

We build the piece that removes the most pain first, so the thing starts earning its keep while the rest is still being built.

After launch

We stay on call

Upkeep runs on a simple hourly contract: updates, fixes, and a person who answers when something changes in your business.

A real one

What this looks like when it lands.

Fence and deck contractor

The ship was sinking. Here is how we rebuilt it.

The owner was running his company across six tools that did not share data, from Jobber and Monday to Zapier and QuickBooks. He could not see what any single job made, and he put the cost of that blind spot at about a thousand dollars a day. We stabilized crew time and payroll first, then built one application around live job costing, with crew timecards and receipt capture, inventory, invoicing and card payments, a client portal, and quoting by voice. A quote that used to take two hours now takes a conversation.

Straight answers

Questions we get asked first.

What does a system like this cost?

It depends entirely on how much of the operation you want covered, which is why we quote per phase rather than posting a number here. You get a fixed price for each phase before that phase starts, so you always know what the next commitment is. Upkeep afterward is hourly.

Do we have to replace everything at once?

No, and we would talk you out of it. Most builds start with the single worst bottleneck, run alongside your existing tools, and absorb more of the operation as later phases land.

What happens if we stop working with you?

You keep the software. The code, the database, and the hosting accounts are yours from the start, so another developer can pick it up. That is the difference between owning a system and renting one.

Can it work with the tools we want to keep?

Usually, yes. QuickBooks, Stripe, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, calendars, phone systems, and most software with an API. Part of the first conversation is sorting out what stays and what the new system takes over.

How long before we see something working?

Phase one is scoped deliberately small so you are looking at real software early rather than waiting on a big reveal. The exact timeline comes with the phased plan, because it depends on what phase one has to cover.
