Custom software development.
When spreadsheets and off-the-shelf software stop fitting the business, a small, well-built tool usually beats a bigger subscription. We build those tools, and we build them to be maintained.
The problem
The business runs on a patchwork of spreadsheets, logins and workarounds. The software that would fit costs too much, does too much, or doesn’t exist. Every new location or hire makes the patchwork worse.
What we build
Typical systems.
- 01
Internal tools & dashboards
Operations consoles, approval flows and live dashboards that replace the spreadsheet everyone is afraid to touch.
- 02
Customer & partner portals
Self-serve portals for orders, documents, status and payments, with role-based access.
- 03
Integrations & APIs
Reliable connections between systems that don’t talk natively, with retries, logs and alerts.
- 04
Shopify & e-commerce apps
Custom storefront features, back-office tooling and apps built on Shopify’s platform.
- 05
AI-native features
Search, summarization, extraction and assistants built into your product, not bolted on.

Questions
About this service.
Who owns the code?
You do. Code lives in your repository and runs in your accounts from the first deploy.
How do you keep projects from running over?
We scope in phases with a fixed price per phase, ship something usable at the end of each one, and decide the next phase with real usage in hand.
