About / Founded 1994 · Incorporated 1999

Three decades of business-software judgment. Today's AI development speed.

We've been translating business problems into working software since 1994, and incorporated in 1999. Not a new AI shop that discovered business software last year — the quoting tools, scheduling systems, integrations, and internal apps that never win design awards and never stop being used. Software should fit the business, not the other way around.

The evolution

  1. Custom business software

    Systems built around how a company actually operates.

  2. Integrations & workflow

    Connecting ERP, accounting, and vendor systems; routing approvals and data.

  3. AI-assisted development

    Unstructured input became workable, and proving an idea got dramatically cheaper.

  4. Agentic business systems

    Events trigger coordinated agents inside rules you set, with approvals and audit trails.

AI multiplied our leverage; it didn’t create our expertise. Each stage was built on the one before it — and all of it still starts with the same question: what is this business actually trying to get done?

What that experience buys you

  • We’ve seen your process before, in a different industry, under a different name. That’s why scoping is a short, direct exercise rather than a long discovery project.
  • We know which parts of a workflow should stay manual. Automating a judgment call is how projects fail.
  • We’ve maintained our own systems for a decade or more, so we build things that can be handed over, changed, and lived with.

Timeline

  1. 1994 – 1999

    Founded, then incorporated

    Started building custom internal software in 1994 and incorporated in 1999. Databases, quoting tools, and data capture for companies whose work never fit the packaged products of the era.

  2. 2000 – 2011

    Line-of-business systems

    Custom internal software for manufacturers, energy, real estate, and service firms — quoting, scheduling, inventory, quality, field data capture. The unglamorous systems companies run on.

  3. 2012 – 2018

    Integration and the web

    Connecting ERPs, accounting platforms, and vendor systems that were never designed to talk. Moving desktop-bound tools onto the web so the people doing the work could reach them.

  4. 2019 – 2023

    Data and process automation

    Consolidated reporting, workflow automation, approval routing. The years that taught us most problems aren't technical — they're the handoffs between people and systems.

  5. 2024 – 2025

    AI-enabled custom software

    Language models made unstructured input — documents, email, free text, messy human descriptions — something software can finally handle reliably. A whole category of process became worth automating.

  6. 2026 – now

    Agentic-first operations

    Once a company's systems and data are honest, events in the business can trigger coordinated agents that act across ERP, accounting, and CRM directly — inside rules the client writes, with approvals, escalation, and a full audit trail. This is where we think business software is heading, and it only works on top of the unglamorous groundwork.

What we believe, in four sentences.

The one underneath all of them: software should fit the business, not the other way around. That belief is why we think the era of humans operating screens, forms, and modules is starting to fade — and why we fix the mess first, before anything runs itself.

Software should fit the business

Not the other way around. Reshaping a company to suit a product it pays for is backwards.

Boring is a feature

Reliable, legible, maintainable software beats clever software every single time.

AI is a component, not a pitch

We use it where it genuinely outperforms a human keying data. We don't put it in a headline for you.

You should own what you paid for

Source code, data, documentation. No hostage-taking.

The next step

Don't hire us yet. Give us four hours.

Show us one ugly business process. If we select it for a Build Sprint, we'll spend up to four development hours building a working proof of how we'd improve it — before asking you to hire us. It's a proof, not production software, and there's no obligation either way.
