Business Apps

Software shaped around how you work.

Custom CRM and ERP systems for small businesses: clients, leads, quotes, invoices, reports and the workflows only your business has. Built on my own proven framework, so you get software made to measure without starting from zero, and looked after for years, not just launched.

the process

Your process first. Then the software.

Off-the-shelf tools make you change how you work. I start from how your business already works, and shape the app around it.

  1. 01

    We map your process

    How work comes in, who does what, which documents and numbers you need, where things get stuck.

  2. 02

    I shape the app

    The proven core covers the basics. Your own screens, rules, calculators and workflows are built on top.

  3. 03

    Your team runs on it

    One place for clients, work and numbers, used every day. It keeps changing as your business does.

who it's for

Made for businesses like these.

Small businesses with real processes: work that comes in, gets done, gets checked and gets billed. A few examples of what they usually need:

Law firms

  • Client and case files
  • Deadlines and reminders
  • Time tracked per case

Outsourcing companies

  • Employee activity reports
  • Hours per client and project
  • Invoices from tracked time

Administration and finance

  • Client records and documents
  • Recurring invoices
  • Approvals and sign-offs

Printing houses

  • Job price calculators
  • Quotes from print specs
  • Production status per job

Your business isn't on the list? It doesn't need to be. If you have a process, it can be built.

modules

Pick a module. Shape it to your business.

A few examples of what these apps do. None of them is fixed: each one is built around the way your team works.

after launch

Not built and left. Looked after.

Business software is never finished. Your team finds new needs, your process changes, the tech underneath gets updates. I stay with the app for the long run.

  • Updates and security for the app, the server and every package.
  • Backups and monitoring so problems are caught before your team notices.
  • New features as your business grows and your process changes.
  • A direct line to me the person who built it, not a ticket queue.
