Custom software
Custom applications and software that make small and mid-sized businesses more efficient. Built once, priced up front, finished in weeks.
Fifteen years running operations before we wrote a line of code. Manufacturers, distributors, contractors and professional practices across Maryland.
What we do
The problem
What we build
We are not trying to replace your people with software. The opposite. We give you back the time and money that repetitive work consumes, so your team can put both toward the work that actually needs a person.
Orders move from email into your system without anyone retyping them.
Quotes built from your own price rules, so two people quote the same job the same way.
One record of what you have, where it is, and what stage it is at.
Who is going where, what changed this morning, and who needs to know.
The weekly numbers assembled and sent without a person building the file.
QuickBooks, ERPs, shipping carriers, CRMs and the other systems that do not talk to each other, made to talk to each other.
Reading documents, emails and PDFs to pull the data out, drafting routine replies, and chatbots that answer questions against your own records.
Apps your crews use on a phone in the field, and mobile versions of the tools the office already runs.
Online ordering, checkout and payment, wired back into the system you already use so nothing gets retyped.
Other customers’ builds
People make mistakes on repetitive work. Software does not get tired, so the routine parts come out right every time. Catching what the software was never told to look for still takes a person, and that check stays with your team.

How it works
Sixty minutes, on video or at your place of business. You show us how the work moves.
Within five business days, ranked, with hours and dollars saved attached.
One item, several, or none. The list is yours either way.
Fixed price, two to four weeks for a completed build, but we normally complete builds even faster.
We set it all up for you and show you how it all works. Training and implementation included.
Write to us. Two or three sentences is plenty: what the task is, who does it, and how often.
We read and answer every message ourselves.
