How we work

Fitted, Not Configured

Off the shelf software gets set up. Yours gets fitted. Here is the shape of a project, from the first call to the day it feels like it was always there.

How we work

Years of Wear, in About Six Weeks

Boots break in because they are worn every day. Your desk fits because it was built around every day you have already worked.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We learn your business the way it really runs. We listen far more than we talk.

  2. 02

    Design

    Your words, your steps and your rules, laid out for you to check before anything is built.

  3. 03

    Build

    Your desk, built on your own records. Not sample data.

  4. 04

    Launch and Tune

    You run on it with the old way still standing. What rubs gets fixed, and we keep it fitting.

What you own

It Is Yours When It Is Done

The software

Built for you and handed over to you. Not a seat you rent.

The data

Every customer and every job, yours to keep and take.

The accounts

Opened in your business name from day one.

The relationship

We would like to keep running it for you. Because we are good at it, not because leaving is hard.

Questions

Everything People Ask

What does custom shop software cost?
It is a project priced to your business, not a per seat subscription that grows every time you hire. We quote once we understand what you need, because a number before that is a guess dressed up as a quote.
How long does it take?
Most businesses are running on their desk in about six weeks. A simple fit can be faster. A business with a lot of moving parts takes longer, and we will tell you which one you are up front.
Can you just fix the software we already have?
Sometimes, and we will tell you when the answer is yes. If the problem is a bad setup or a missing connection, that is a much cheaper fix than a new desk.
What happens to the customers and history we already have?
They come with you. Your customer list and job history are loaded into the new desk, and we tell you up front about anything that will not come across cleanly.
Do we have to change how we work?
A little, and only where the old way was costing you money. The whole point is that the software bends to your business, not the other way around.
Who owns it?
You do. The software, the data and the accounts are in your business name. Nothing of yours is ever held hostage.
Who looks after it once it is live?
We do, if you want us to. Your business will change and your desk should change with it. If you would rather take it in house, it hands over cleanly.
Can it text our customers?
Yes, from your own number and in your own words. Business texting needs carrier registration, which takes a few weeks, so we start it early.
We are not an auto shop. Is this for us?
Yes. We started in auto repair, but the idea is not about cars. If your business runs on jobs, customers, a schedule and an invoice, we can fit a desk to it.
