Replace the business-critical spreadsheet with software your team owns.
For established teams whose daily work is split across spreadsheets, messages, manual checks, and one person's memory—and where generic SaaS cannot fit the workflow, integrations, or data-control requirements.
Working food-operations app: purchasing, FIFO stock, recipes, and order margin.
Review scope and price- Approach
- Adapted to your business
- Hosting
- Your server or cloud account
- Starting range
- $15k–$70k+
- Support
- Handoff or ongoing support
A useful first release, built around the real job
One private app for the records, actions, alerts, and reports your team uses every day—with the imports, exports, and backups it actually needs.
- The main workflow for one team
- The records, statuses, and rules it depends on
- A staff interface that works on phones and desktops
- Simple roles and access
- The reports, imports, and exports people actually need
- Deployment, backups, and a handoff guide
How the system fits together
- Bring in your records
- Set the rules
- Run the daily work
- See what needs attention
- Export and recover everything
Your version follows your business
The reusable parts give us a head start. Your version still follows your data, staff, approvals, integrations, and infrastructure—not somebody else’s generic process.
When this is the wrong tool
- A generic replacement for a mature ERP or CRM suite
- An unproven process with no accountable owner
- A sub-$15k budget expecting migration, integrations, permissions, and several departments
- Regulated decision automation without qualified human review
Try the software yourself
Click around the real interface using sample data. Search, filters, calculations, and reports work; anything that would save, send, upload, or charge is disabled.
Two implemented operator surfaces, not two wireframes.
Both captures come from the read-only public demos. They show the navigation, state model, and calculations without exposing private records.
What exists and what it can establish
Measured implementation facts stay separate from business outcomes.
| Subject | Observed or verified | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Food operations state | The working pilot connects purchasing, FIFO stock batches, recipes, sales channels, delivery fees, ingredient cost, and order margin. | No public before-and-after operator-time or error-rate study is attached. |
| Finance state | The private application keeps wallets, linked ledger entries, transfers, budgets, debts, imported records, and exact balances in one workflow. | Private use proves the implemented state model, not a measured result for another team. |
| Read-only demos | Two indexable five-screen demos expose the real navigation and calculations using fictional records. | A read-only fixture does not prove production persistence, permissions, concurrency, or recovery. |

The case studies show what shipped, what was tested, and what is still unfinished.
Build a first-pass budget
Start with the useful core, then add only the parts your version needs. The calculator updates here in your browser; nothing is submitted until you attach the estimate to an enquiry.
- Core release
- $15k–$30k
- Optional scope
- $0
Selected scope
- Useful core release
Assumptions behind this range
- One person can approve scope and product decisions.
- The source data is usable and available for review.
- Deployment goes into infrastructure you control.
- The reusable core remains mine; your data and business-specific work remain yours.
Messy data, migrations, unusual integrations, compressed deadlines, and deeper production responsibility can move the range.
This is a planning range, not a quote or a promise of delivery dates. I confirm scope, dependencies, and responsibility before proposing a build.
Run it yourself, or keep me around
I fix agreed-scope defects for 30 days after handoff. Then you can take over completely or keep me involved for maintenance, production help, or reserved development time.
Handoff
No ongoing feeYou take over the agreed release. I still fix build defects for 30 days; ongoing updates and operational help are separate.
Maintenance
$1.5k–$3k/monthAnnual commitment. Scheduled releases, security and compatibility fixes, and planned upgrade help. No incident response or custom development.
Production support
$3.5k–$6.5k/monthSix-month minimum. Maintenance, one-business-day response on working days, deployment help, and a monthly allowance for incident or operational work.
Reserved engineering
$7.5k–$12k/monthSix-month minimum. Priority queue, planned release work, and reserved engineering capacity. Unused capacity does not roll over; larger features are scoped separately.
I fix agreed-scope defects for 30 days after handoff. New reports, process changes, and production support are separate work.
