Capabilities

Five things we ship.

Every engagement is different. Most of the work falls into these five buckets.

Ground-up applications for how your business really runs

We build custom software from a blank page, around how your business works today. The kind of software your team relies on day in and day out.

  • Custom portals, dashboards, and admin tools that replace your spreadsheet stack
  • Self-serve customer and partner portals with SSO
  • Quote, PO, and invoice visibility across ERP and CRM
  • Internal tools your ops team opens every morning
  • Audit trails finance and legal can defend

Field and operations apps

Apps for people in trucks, on rigs, on plant floors, in clinics, and in the warehouse. Offline-first. Built for gloves and glare. Designed so a 20-year field tech can use them without retraining.

  • iOS, Android, and rugged-device support
  • Offline sync with conflict resolution
  • Barcode, QR, and photo capture workflows
  • Digital forms that replace paper inspections and tickets
  • Dispatch, routing, and job-site check-in

AI built into the software from the start

The software we ship has AI where it earns its keep. Pulling data out of documents. Drafting work orders. Answering questions grounded in your own SOPs. Real tooling built into the workflows your team already uses.

  • Retrieval-augmented answers grounded in your own documents
  • Drafting and summarization inside existing workflows
  • Document and form extraction wired to your ERP
  • Multi-vendor by design, matched to the job
  • Agentic workflows for the repetitive work humans hate

Integrations with the systems you already run

Most of the value lives in the plumbing. We integrate the ERPs, CRMs, and line-of-business systems your team already runs on, including the custom one a former engineer built in 2011. We document everything, so you own the work after we leave.

  • ERP and CRM integrations across your existing stack
  • Modern, legacy, and file-based interfaces
  • Event-driven pipelines when they fit the workload
  • Data contracts and schema versioning
  • Operational runbooks owned by your team

Modernizing the app that's holding you back

Your business depends on an app written in 2009 by someone who left. We phase the migration so value ships every sprint. You never run two systems pretending to be the source of truth.

  • Cloud billed at cost, straight to your own accounts
  • Phased rewrites that ship value every sprint
  • Infrastructure as code your team can maintain
  • Observability, cost controls, and on-call setup
  • Migration plans that ship value every quarter

Engagement

How the work goes.

Scope the real problem

Two weeks on-site and on calls. We map the workflow your team runs today, straight from the people doing the work, and leave with a priced plan in hand.

Weeks 1 to 2

Ship a working slice

First end-to-end slice of the product in production. Small, useful, honest. Something your team can log in to and use on day one.

Weeks 3 to 6

Iterate against real use

Weekly releases. Daily fixes. We sit in the same channel as your ops team. Feedback goes straight into the product that same week.

Weeks 7 to 16

Hand it over cleanly

Runbooks, docs, and an on-call handoff. You own the code, the infra, and the story. We stay available as backup.

Week 16+

Tools we use

A stack built for production.

Built for teams who need the software still running five years from now.
