Software Built Around Your Business

Custom apps, practical AI, and automation for small businesses. Built by someone with 20 years in IT, explained in plain English.

SERVICES

What We Do

Most small businesses run on a patchwork of spreadsheets, sticky notes, and software that almost fits. We build the tool that actually fits: one that does what your team needs, the way your team works.
We are the same team behind The4WheelShop, DojoBase, WealthBase, and the Black Hawthorn IT Suite. We build software we would want to use ourselves: simple, private, and yours to keep.
Every project starts with the problem, not the technology. If an off-the-shelf tool already solves it, we will tell you, and save you the money.

Who we help

Built for Small Teams

Built for Small Teams

We work with businesses under 100 people: auto shops, studios, trades, offices, schools, and nonprofits. Teams that are too busy running the business to become software experts.
You get a direct line to the person building your software. No account managers, no ticket queue, no jargon.
If it takes more than a minute to figure out, we redesign it.

The Process

How a Project Works

Clear steps. No surprises.

1. Intro call. Tell us what slows your business down. We listen first.
2. Written plan and quote. You get a plain-English plan with the cost and timeline before any work starts.
3. Build and review. You see working versions early and often, so the result is what you actually need.
4. Handoff. You get the software, simple instructions, and support. You own it.
