Who it is for
When custom software is worth it
Off-the-shelf tools are fine until your process no longer fits them. These are the moments clients usually come to us.
You run the business on spreadsheets
Orders, jobs or customers live in spreadsheets and email threads, and things fall through the cracks.
Customers need a way in
Clients or partners keep asking for status, documents or invoices that a portal could show them directly.
You have an app idea
You know the problem and the users, and need a team to shape a first version, build it and launch it.
Your tools don’t talk to each other
Your CRM, accounting, phone system and website each hold part of the picture, and people re-type the rest.

The sign-up and member app behind our CDL Protection plans.

How it works
From idea to working software
Step 1: Scoping call
You walk us through the problem, the people who will use the software and what success looks like.
Step 2: Plan and quote
You get a written scope with the main screens, the stages and a quote for each stage.
Step 3: Build in stages
You review working software at every stage, not a big reveal at the end.
Step 4: Launch and support
We launch, show your team how it works and keep improving it with you.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does custom software cost?
It depends on the scope: how many screens, types of users and integrations the software needs. We quote each project after a scoping call, and a large build can be split into stages so you start with the part that pays off first.
How long does a project take?
That also depends on the scope. After the scoping call you get a timeline that lists each stage and what you will have at the end of it.
Do you build mobile apps?
Yes. We build apps for phones and tablets, for your customers or your field team, together with the web side they connect to when you need one.
Can you connect the tools we already use?
Usually, yes. CRMs, accounting software, phone systems, websites and payment providers can often be connected through their APIs; we check each one during scoping.
Do you look after the software after launch?
Yes. We fix issues, keep it up to date and add features as your business changes.
Do you work with trucking and logistics companies?
Yes. We run a dispatch operation ourselves and built the CRM it runs on, so we know carrier, load and document workflows first-hand. See our trucking services.
