Custom software · Small operators

Software built for how your business actually runs.

Generic ERPs make you change to fit the software. We build software that fits you — priced like a SaaS subscription, scoped to your workflows, delivered in four to eight weeks.

There's been a gap between enterprise overbuild and SaaS compromise. We sit in it.

Small businesses run the DIY stack because enterprise systems are unreachable and generic SaaS forces them to change how they work. We are a fourth option — custom software priced like tier-two SaaS, built for one business, delivered fast enough to be commercially viable.

Custom used to mean six months and $200k. Not anymore.

01

Against generic SaaS

Zoho serves millions with one codebase. Customizing for one business costs them more than that customer is worth. We pick up where their economics fail — businesses specific enough that mass-market software can't justify building for them.

02

Against enterprise ERP

NetSuite is built for companies with full-time IT, finance, and ops teams. Implementations take 4–6 months and cost more than most small businesses make in profit. Our deployments take 4–8 weeks and cost less than one year of NetSuite licensing.

03

Against the DIY stack

Most small businesses run six to ten disconnected tools held together by spreadsheets and the owner's memory. When the bookkeeper goes on vacation, work stops. We consolidate it into one system anyone on the team can use.

04

Against a traditional agency

Traditional custom software starts at $200k and takes a year. AI-assisted development compresses what was historically a 6–12 month build into 4–8 weeks — the engineering judgment is still ours, the speed is what's new. That's what makes the price point work.

One build. Then a relationship that lasts.

We build the three or four workflows your business actually depends on, and integrate with the tools you already use for the rest. A fixed-price deployment to start, optional modules as you grow, managed hosting and support to keep it running.
