We went from estimating jobs on gut feel and tracking everything on paper to having a proper system that handles it all.

The problem
Most service businesses run on a patchwork of paper, spreadsheets, and off-the-shelf SaaS that never quite fits. Quotes live in one place, the schedule in another, invoicing somewhere else, and the owner is the glue holding it together. It works until it doesn't: under-quoting on gut feel, double-entry, jobs and money slipping through the cracks, and no way to step back without the whole thing wobbling.
What you get
A system built around your workflow
I map how your team works today and build the tool to fit it: quoting, jobs, scheduling, invoicing and customer records. You only pay for the parts you need.
One source of truth
Estimation through to payment in a single system, on every device. No more re-keying the same job into three places or wondering which spreadsheet is current.
Software you own
The code is yours. There are no per-user fees that rise every year, and nobody else decides what gets built next.
Supported after launch
Optional support from £99 a month keeps it running and adds what the business needs next, from the person who built it.

Before you book
How much does a custom build cost?
It depends on scope. A business system starts from £8,000, and you only pay for the parts you need. Every engagement is fixed-price, scoped up front in a free consultation, so there are no surprises before any work begins.
How long until it's live?
Most projects ship in two to six weeks depending on complexity. Founder-led delivery means fewer handoffs and faster decisions, so you get to a working system sooner. I agree a realistic timeline with you on the call.
Do I own the software?
Yes. You own the code and the system, with no monthly licence per user.
What if I need changes after launch?
Optional support starts at £99 a month and covers fixes and new features as the business changes, from the person who built it.
