Our work

Four businesses, four trades, one studio.

A bridal boutique, a home builder, a safety and compliance consultancy and a travel agency. Nothing they do overlaps, and none of them could buy what they needed off a shelf.

Client names stay private. Every picture is the real software, filled with invented information.

Case studies

What each business had before, and what it runs on now.

RingUps

In daily use

Built for a bridal boutique

Before

A calendar, several spreadsheets, a separate till, and one person remembering what was ordered for whom.

Now

One record per bride, from the first fitting to the day she collects.

  • Online booking from live availability
  • A board that chases orders nobody placed
  • Deposits held as money owed until pickup

The compliance console

In daily use

Built for On-Track Safety Solutions

Before

Proof spread across drives and inboxes, a tool for every job, and a report typed up a week after the visit.

Now

The same five steps for every client, and a portal where each client sees its own status.

  • A site walk scored on a phone
  • A scored report from the same day's work
  • Proposals clients sign and pay online

The pattern

Four trades. The same four problems underneath.

Everything gets written twice

Once on paper at the job, once at a desk that evening. The fix both times: fill it in once, on a phone.

Things go quiet

An order nobody placed. A quote nobody chased. Software notices a date has passed. A busy person does not.

It is all in one head

Each business had a job only the owner could do. We put the part that is not judgement on a screen.

Proving it takes an afternoon

The lender, the client, the auditor. Each one was a folder and an afternoon. Now each is a page.

Before, in all four

  1. 1Notes on a clipboard or a phone
  2. 2Photos in a camera roll
  3. 3A spreadsheet one person understands
  4. 4Dates kept in someone's head

After, in all four

  1. 1Filled in once, on a phone
  2. 2Photos filed against the job
  3. 3One screen the whole business can open
  4. 4Software that flags the date before it passes

Recognise your own week in any of that?

Tell us the part that is worst. You do not need to know what should be built. If the answer is a tool you can buy for forty dollars a month, we will say so.
