Custom software for the work no product fits

We design, build, host and support business systems for companies and individuals, from a payroll tool to an online store to a system no one sells.

Every project is quoted after we understand the work.

What we build

Payroll and time tracking

Clock in and out from a phone or a shared tablet, timesheets with overtime, pay runs you approve, and an export your payroll provider or accountant can use.

Online stores and ordering

A catalog, a cart and card payments through a payment gateway, with a back office for orders, pickup or delivery, and inventory.

Booking and scheduling

Appointments, classes, rooms or equipment, with reminders by email and text and a calendar your staff can work from.

Customer and member portals

A place for your customers to sign in, pay a balance, update a card, sign a document and see their history.

Billing and subscriptions

Recurring charges, invoices and failed-payment follow-up. We run this every night for our own membership software.

Connecting your systems

Payment gateways, accounting exports, email and text messages: the tools you already use, made to share their data.

Internal tools and reports

The spreadsheet everyone is afraid to touch, rebuilt as a screen with the right permissions and the numbers people ask for.

Two samples you can use

Both are working software built for fictional businesses. Click through them on a computer or a phone. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere.

Crew Hours: payroll and time clock

For a landscaping company with eight crew members across several job sites.

  • Clock in and out, with the day's hours as they add up
  • Weekly timesheets with overtime over 40 hours
  • A pay run you approve, exported as a file for your payroll provider
  • Labor cost per job site
Crew Hours pay run: hours, regular and overtime pay and gross pay for eight crew members, with a totals row.

Second Rise: online store and back office

For a bakery that takes orders online for next-day pickup.

  • A shop with categories, a bag and sales tax
  • Checkout with a pickup day and time
  • A back office where orders move from new to picked up
  • Inventory that counts down as orders come in
Second Rise back office: today's orders by status, sales totals and inventory counts.

We run real billing every night

Every night, our own membership software charges what is due for the businesses that use it, in each one's time zone, and writes every result to the right member's record.

Custom work gets the same care: tested against real numbers, hosted by us and supported by the people who wrote it.

How a project works

  1. ListenYou show us the spreadsheet, the paper form or the three apps that do not talk to each other.
  2. Scope and quoteA written scope with what is included and the price, before any work starts.
  3. BuildYou see it working early, on your own data where possible, and ask for changes.
  4. Launch and runWe move your data in, host it and support it month to month.

Questions

How much does custom software cost?

Every project is quoted, because no two are the same size. After we understand the work, you get a written scope with what is included and the price, before anything is built.

How long does a project take?

It depends on the scope, and the scope says. A small tool can be weeks; a system that replaces how a business runs takes longer, and we deliver it in parts you can use along the way.

Do you host and support what you build?

Yes. We can host it, back it up, keep it current and fix what breaks, month to month. If you prefer to host it yourself, we can plan for that instead.

Can it work with the software we already use?

Usually. Where a product offers a way to connect to it, we connect to it, so your data moves between systems instead of being typed twice.

Do you work with individuals and small businesses?

Yes. Companies of any size and individuals with a project in mind. Tell us what you need and we will tell you honestly whether custom software is the right answer.

Can the screens be in Spanish?

Yes. We build in English, Spanish or both, including emails and receipts.

Describe your project

Describe the work as it is done today and what has to change. We reply by email with questions or a written scope and a quote, usually by the next working day.

We use what you send only to reply to you. It is emailed to us and is not stored on this website or in any database.
