An example of the kind of system we build. Every name and figure in it is invented.
Software we have designed and built
Who it is for
The jobs live in a spreadsheet only one person understands. Customers ring to ask what is happening. Paperwork gets typed twice, once on site and again at the desk. If that sounds like your week, it does not matter what trade you are in.
Only one person can answer the question, so nobody can cover a week off.
On paper at the job, then again at the desk that evening.
They ring to ask where their order is, because they cannot see it.

The board on the right is RingUps, built for a bridal boutique. Sample store, invented names.
Any trade. A few we know well:
What we build
We do not start from a blank page. These are the things we build most, shaped around how you already work.
We also build
Our work
Client names stay private. The products are real and the pictures are the real screens, filled with invented information.
Built for a bridal boutique
Every bride, her fittings, her order and her payments on one screen.
Appointments, special orders, deposits, alterations and reports in one system instead of a calendar, spreadsheets and a separate till.
Built for a home builder
The lender's draw package, printed in one go instead of an evening of hunting.
Schedules, trade bids, lender draws, holdbacks and site updates in one system instead of spreadsheets, texts and sticky notes.
Built for On-Track Safety Solutions
The same assessment, done the same way, by whoever does it.
Audits, client portals, training records, sales and invoicing from one system the consultancy owns, replacing form tools and a separate CRM.
Built for a travel agency
Every hotel quote, deadline and trip gap on one desk, before it bites.
One search across every supplier, rate requests tracked by reply, and a private trip page for each traveller.
A closer look
Each client company gets its own compliance portal. It opens on where they stand and what to do next, so the consultancy is not answering the same email every week.
Every name, figure and date in these pictures is invented. The screens are the real software.
How it works
Five steps, one person the whole way through, and one price agreed in writing before anything starts.
You tell us the problem in your own words. We tell you honestly whether it is worth building.
A free 30 minute call
We draw the screens with you and agree one fixed price in writing.
Within a few days
You get something you can open and use every week, not a drawing of it.
1 to 8 weeks
It goes live on your own address and you drive it while we watch.
A day or two
Hosting, fixes and changes, if you want them. Stopping does not switch it off.
Optional, monthly
The fixed price promise
Half when you approve the written price. Half the day it goes live. If you ask for something later that was not in the written price, we price it on its own and you decide before it is built.

Ways to start
All prices in Canadian dollars.
$390paid once
A written two-page plan back in three working days: what to build, roughly what it costs, what to buy off the shelf instead, and whether you need us at all.
The full $390 comes off any project you start with us within sixty days.
From $6,000fixed, in writing
Software designed and built for your business. One fixed price in writing before anything starts, half up front and half at launch.
Most projects are $6,000 to $60,000, depending on how many people and jobs it covers.
From $290a month
Hosting, backups, a report-a-problem button on every screen, and changes as your business changes.
Optional. You own the software whether you take one or not.
Questions
Sometimes the honest answer is a tool you can buy for forty dollars a month. We will tell you that on the call, and you will not have paid us anything.
Fair question. Your software runs in accounts in your business's name, not ours, and it is built with ordinary tools any good developer can pick up. If we disappear you are inconvenienced, not stranded.
Often you should, and we will say so on the call. They stop being the right answer when the job is not a page but a process: holding a deposit, chasing an order, knowing whose ticket expires next month.
The price is set after we have worked out what you need, not before. You get it in writing and nothing starts until you have read it. Anything you ask for later is priced on its own, and you decide first.
Whoever found it presses the button on the screen they are looking at, circles the problem, and sends it. We get the exact page without having to ask. Small fixes are usually done by morning.
Start a project
You do not need a specification. Describe the job you do twice, the thing you keep in your head, or the idea you keep coming back to. Working out what to build is our job.
The project form
About ten minutes. The first call starts halfway through instead of at the beginning.
An email
A few sentences is plenty. Write it the way you would say it.
Not ready yet
Take one email a month instead. Sign up at the bottom of the page.
We read every message ourselves and reply within two business days.
