Custom Systems for Service Businesses

Your business deserves its own system.

We build the operating system that runs your service business — your leads, jobs, invoicing, and team coordination, all in one place. Built for exactly how you work. No per-seat pricing. No record limits.

You are the system. You shouldn't have to be.

If you're running a service business on texts, spreadsheets, and 5 different apps — you already know something needs to change.

Every question runs through you. Your phone never stops buzzing.

You're paying for 5 tools that don't talk to each other.

You're dropping leads because nobody follows up fast enough.

You can't take a day off without something breaking.

Every dropped lead is $3,000 you'll never see. Every hour on manual data entry is an hour you're not growing the business.

Build. Host. Maintain. Improve.

One system instead of twelve. One team that handles everything. One flat monthly fee.

We Build It

Custom system designed around your exact workflow — not a template you adapt to.

We Host It

Enterprise-grade hosting, monitoring, backups, security. We keep the lights on so you don't have to.

We Maintain It

Bug fixes, security patches, and support from real humans — email and phone. No help-center runaround.

We Improve It

Continuous improvement — your system evolves as your business grows. Unlimited updates included.

Real screens from real systems — click through to see your CRM, project tracker, client portal, and automations.

CRM Dashboard — track leads from first contact to closed client
Project Tracker — manage jobs, techs, and status in real time
Client Portal — clients see their project, invoices, and updates
Automation Dashboard — automated workflows, triggers, and sequences

The math is simple.

You're paying for tools that barely talk to each other AND spending hours on manual work that a system should handle. Here's what that really costs.

What the status quo actually costs you:

SaaS tools (Airtable + Softr + Zapier, etc.) $289/mo
Your time on admin & workarounds (10 hrs/wk @ $100) $4,333/mo
Dropped leads from slow follow-up (2/mo × $3,000) $6,000/mo
True cost of the status quo $10,622/mo
Per-seat pricing that scales against you
50K record limits per base
750-2,000 automation tasks/mo
3-4 disconnected tools to manage

$5,400–$7,800

"How is this possible?"

Fair question. Traditional custom software takes 6-12 months and costs $50,000-$150,000+. We deliver in 3 weeks at a fraction of the cost. Here's why:

Big Tech Experience

12 years at Google — product management and software engineering at scale. We've built systems handling millions of users. Your 5-50 person operation gets enterprise thinking at a small-business price.

AI-Amplified Development

We use advanced AI coding agents to multiply our output. What used to take a team of 5 engineers several months, we deliver in weeks. Same quality. Fraction of the time and cost.

Proven Patterns

After 20+ systems for service businesses, we don't start from scratch. We've built the patterns for lead management, scheduling, invoicing, and client portals. Your system gets a battle-tested foundation customized to your workflow.

The bottom line: Traditional agencies sell you time. We sell you outcomes. AI lets us do in weeks what used to take months — and we pass those savings directly to you.

Is this right for you?

We're honest about fit. Here's who we work best with.

Great fit if you...

  • Run a service business with 5-50 employees
  • Currently use 3+ tools to manage operations
  • Are frustrated with per-seat pricing and limits
  • Want software built for how YOUR business works
  • Are ready to invest in a system that grows with you

Not the right fit if you...

  • Need an off-the-shelf solution today (we typically launch in 3 weeks)
  • Have fewer than 3 employees (a SaaS tool might work fine)
  • Want a one-time project with no ongoing relationship
  • Are looking for the cheapest possible option

Straight answers to fair questions

What if I've been burned by a developer before?
That's exactly why we structured our offer this way. With our monthly plan, you pay $0 upfront. We build your system first, and you only start paying when it's live and working. If we don't deliver, you owe nothing. We've built 20+ systems for service businesses and have a 100% client satisfaction record.
What happens if I want to cancel?
After your 12-month build + improvement period, you switch to month-to-month hosting. Your unlimited updates become optional — turn them on whenever you need new features, pause when you don't. Your data is always exportable — you own everything.
Will my team actually use this?
We build it around how your team already works. If they text photos, the system accepts texted photos. If they don't do computers, they get a simple mobile interface with big buttons. We don't change your workflow — we digitize it. And if something isn't working, we change it. That's what continuous improvement is for.
Why not just use ServiceTitan / Jobber / Housecall Pro?
Those are great tools for businesses with standard workflows. But if you've ever felt boxed in by their limitations — rigid fields, limited customization, per-technician pricing that scales with your team — custom software gives you exactly what you need, nothing you don't, at a flat monthly rate. No per-seat pricing. No record limits. Built for YOUR workflow, not a template.
Can I really get custom software starting at $389/month?
Yes — and here's why. Traditional custom software costs $50,000-$150,000+ and takes 6-12 months because agencies sell you time. We're different: 12 years of product management and software engineering at Google, proven patterns from 20+ service business systems, and advanced AI coding agents that multiply our output. What used to require a team of 5 engineers over several months, we deliver in weeks. Same quality, fraction of the cost. The monthly model works because we earn our investment back through the ongoing relationship — not by billing $300/hour.
What if you disappear? Who maintains the software?
Your system is built with React and Node.js — the two most popular frameworks in the world. Any competent developer can maintain it. Full documentation is included. Your data can be exported at any time. We also offer a full ownership option ($15,000 one-time) if you want complete independence.
I don't have time to explain my business to a developer.
One 60-minute call. That's it. We've built systems for service businesses like yours, so we already understand the core patterns — lead management, job tracking, scheduling, invoicing, client communication. We bring a draft based on your call. You tell us what to change. Most clients are surprised how little time it takes.
What's included in the monthly fee?
Everything. Hosting, monitoring, backups, security patches, bug fixes, human support (email + phone), and — on the monthly plan — unlimited updates. One flat fee. No surprise invoices.
Do I own the code?
You own your data and can export it anytime. On the monthly plan, we host and maintain the system for you. If you want full code ownership, our Full Ownership tier ($15,000 one-time) gives you everything — code, hosting, full independence. After 12 months on the monthly plan, you can also migrate to self-hosted for $5,000.
How long does it take to build?
Most systems are live within 3 weeks of kickoff. Complex builds with multiple integrations may take up to 5 weeks. We'll give you a specific timeline on your discovery call.
