Software & Automation
Custom software, integrations, and automation built around how your business actually runs. We work from your processes — not expensive off-the-shelf software — to ship working tools that remove friction and free your team for higher-value work.
How Software & Automation Works
What We Build
Most of the friction in a business lives in the gaps between systems — the spreadsheet that feeds the report, the email that triggers the approval, the export that someone has to clean up before it's useful. We close those gaps by building integrations that connect your existing software: ERPs, CRMs, document platforms, email, and anything else your team already depends on.
We also build custom internal tools that replace manual processes entirely — automated report generation, structured approval workflows, data pipelines that move information without a human in the middle. For legal, financial, and operations teams, we layer in AI-assisted document and knowledge workflows: contract review queues, policy Q&A tools, summarization pipelines — practical applications that reduce the time your team spends on routine information work.
How It Works With Your Stack
We build systems you own, so you can keep what works and change what doesn't.
The goal is never to rip out what's working — it's to make the tools you already own do more, connect better, and demand less manual effort from your team. We start with the bottleneck, not the technology: what's slow, what's error-prone, what's eating time that shouldn't be.
And when you are moving between systems, that's exactly when this matters most. A migration is where good process quietly gets lost — the workaround nobody documented, the report only one person knows how to run. We smooth that transition and give you the best of both: the parts of the old system your team actually relies on, combined with what drew you to the new one in the first place.
Either way, we work in small iterations that ship and work before we expand. Each sprint delivers something real your team can use — not a prototype sitting in a staging environment. That keeps feedback tight, scope controlled, and value visible month over month.
Staying put and moving on are both fine starting points. If you're keeping your current systems, we make them do more. If you're replacing them, we make the change land without losing the parts your team depends on. What we won't do is talk you into a rebuild you didn't come here for.
Pricing
We work at an hourly rate and take only the time it takes to fix the problem. Every engagement starts with a defined problem and a clear scope, and you can keep working with us for as long as it’s useful.
| What You Get | How It Works | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly ratehow we work | Billed for time worked | You pay for the time the problem actually takes, nothing more. A small fix costs what a small fix costs. |
| Scope | Agreed before work begins | We define the problem and what done looks like first, so the hours go where they matter. |
| Billing | Weekly or monthly | Invoiced weekly or monthly, based on hours worked. |
| Contract termnone | As long as it’s useful | No long-term lock-in. Keep us for one project, or keep building with us as new problems come up. |

Frequently Asked Questions
What size projects do you take on?
Anything from a single integration to a multi-month build. We bill hourly for the time the work takes, so the size of the engagement follows the size of the problem — some clients bring us one fix, others keep building with us as new problems come up. There's no long-term contract.
How long before we see results?
Most clients have a first working tool delivered within their first month of work. We scope to ship, not to plan indefinitely — so the first sprint is designed to produce something real your team can use, not a requirements document for a future build.
Is this like having a forward deployed engineer?
Yes. We work the way a forward deployed engineer does — learning how your operation actually runs, then building the fix inside the systems you already own and staying through adoption. The difference is scale: it's sized for a small or mid-sized business, without a full-time hire or an enterprise contract. What a forward deployed engineer is.
