Consulting & Systems

We learn how a small business gets its work done and build custom software for it. It runs on a phone, a tablet or a computer.

Listen

Every project starts with a visit. We talk with the owner and the people who do the work, follow a job from the first call to payment, and write down what goes wrong.

  1. 1How does a job come in?
  2. 2Who writes the quote, and where does it go?
  3. 3What gets bought for the job, and is it billed to the customer?
  4. 4When do the books get done?

Process

Then we build software that follows those steps and records each one as it happens.
