Internal tools
One place for your team to see, update and move work forward, instead of five tabs and an inbox.
Custom software, built around how your team works.
When off-the-shelf tools don't fit, people work around them with spreadsheets and email. We build the software that should have been there all along, and you own it.
Sound familiar?
The problems we usually hear.
-
Your team has outgrown its spreadsheets
We turn the spreadsheet into a real system with the same logic your team trusts, plus permissions, history and fewer mistakes.
-
Nothing on the market fits how you work
We build for your process, so your team doesn't have to bend to a product built for someone else.
-
Your own engineers can't get to it
Internal tools sit at the bottom of the list. We take them on, and can follow your code review and deployment process.
What we can build
A few examples.
Client and vendor portals
Let customers and partners submit information, check status and sign off without another email thread.
Approval and review flows
Route each request to the right person, with a clear record of who approved what and when.
Replacing old systems
Move off the aging tool everyone is afraid to touch, one piece at a time and without stopping the business.
Reporting built in
The numbers your managers ask for, live inside the system rather than rebuilt by hand each month.
Mobile and field tools
Simple screens for people who aren't at a desk, from job sites to warehouses.

Spreadsheets running the business
Someone built it years ago. It works, mostly. Now the business depends on it, and only one person fully understands it.

Sales has one number, finance has another, and nobody is sure which is right. Each tool is fine by itself. The trouble is in the gaps.
Read moreReports built by hand
Every month, someone exports from four systems, pastes it all into a spreadsheet and fixes what looks wrong. By the time it's ready, the numbers are old.

FAQ
Common questions.
Do we own the software?
Yes. The code, data and accounts are yours from day one, with documentation for whoever works on it next.
How long does it take?
Your first working release typically lands within weeks. We ship in small pieces, so your team uses it early and we improve it from real use.
What does it cost?
It depends on scope. After a first call we send a plan and estimate for the first release, so you know the price before anything starts.
