Custom Software Built for Your Business.
The app your business is missing usually isn't for sale. We build it: the client portal, the operations screen your team lives in, the integration between two systems that don't talk, the AI agent that does the paperwork. Fixed-price phases, live in weeks, running in your own cloud, supported by the same team that runs your IT.
What we build.
Three kinds of software account for most of what Los Angeles companies actually need, and none of them come in a box.
Client and vendor portals
A branded place where your customers see their orders, inventory, tracking, invoices and documents themselves, instead of emailing your team for every update. Magic-link sign-in, their logo on it, your data behind it. A fulfillment company's clients now check orders and stock without a single email.
Operations apps
The screen your team runs the day from. Order intake that reads the email and the PDF for you, kitchen and delivery boards, scheduling, approvals, dashboards that pull from the systems you already pay for. Built around how the work actually happens, not how a vendor thinks it should.
Integrations and AI agents
Two systems that don't talk, connected. An accounting package that gets its invoices without retyping. An AI agent, built with Claude, that reads the incoming order, matches it to your catalog, drafts the reply and hands a human the decision. Practical automation with a person in the loop.
How the work is done.
Software projects fail on scope, ownership and handoff. Ours are set up so none of those can surprise you.
Discovery and mockup
A fixed-price discovery: we sit with the people who do the work, map the process, and come back with a clickable mockup of the app and a price for the first phase. You see it before you commit to it.
Key features
- Fixed price, one to two weeks
- Clickable mockup, not a slide deck
- Priced phase one, scoped in writing
- Walk away with the mockup either way
Fixed-price phases
Each phase is a working piece of software, priced up front, live in weeks. Phase one is the thing that hurts most. Later phases add modules as the first one proves itself.
Key features
- One working module per phase
- Price agreed before work starts
- Live in weeks, not quarters
- Stop or continue after every phase
Built in your cloud, owned by you
The app runs in your own Azure tenant, under your name, with your data. You own the code and the data. If we disappeared tomorrow, your app keeps running and any developer can pick it up.
Key features
- Your Azure tenant, your billing
- You own the source code
- Documented so anyone can maintain it
- Enterprise sign-in for your staff
Run and supported
When it's live, we run it: hosting, monitoring, backups, security patches, and the small changes a business asks for every month. It's part of the IT we already manage for you, not a separate vendor relationship.
Key features
- Monitoring and backups included
- Security patching on the same schedule as your IT
- Monthly changes and small features
- One phone number for the app and the network
Why build with us instead of an agency?
Agencies build software and leave. Freelancers build software and vanish. We build software and then run your IT, so the app, the network, the security and the people who support them are one team with one phone number. Since 1997 we've run IT for Los Angeles fulfillment, catering, healthcare, nonprofit and professional-services companies; the software we build sits on top of systems we already understand, and it's built with Claude, which is why a fixed-price module takes weeks instead of quarters.
- Fixed prices per phase — no open-ended hourly estimates
- Clickable mockup before you spend anything on code
- Runs in your own cloud; you own the code and the data
- Security and compliance built in, because we do that for a living
- Supported after launch by the team that runs your IT
- Built with Claude: faster to build, cheaper to change, documented as it goes
Our development process.
Four steps from a painful process to a working app your team uses every day.
Discovery
We map the real process with the people who do it and agree what phase one has to do.
Mockup and price
A clickable mockup and a fixed price for phase one, usually within a week of discovery.
Build and launch
Phase one goes live in your cloud in weeks, with training for the people who'll use it.
Run and grow
We host, monitor, patch and support it, and add the next module when you're ready.
