Real work · Real businesses · Real problems solved

Every tool we build starts with
a real business problem.
Here's a look at how that plays out.

These aren't demos or hypotheticals. Each one is a working system, built for a specific company, solving a specific problem they couldn't solve any other way.

Discourse Brewing — How It Started

Discourse Brewing was tracking inventory for three beer packages in a year-wide spreadsheet and hand-typing sales data from Square every week to build reports. We started with the simplest thing: making inventory easier to record from a phone. Everything below grew from that first step.

01

Know when to brew
before you run out.

Discourse Brewing needed a way to stop guessing when to start a new batch. We built a forecasting engine that watches sales velocity across every packaging format - kegs, cans, 4-packs, pours - and automatically calculates when production needs to start based on current inventory and lead time.

02

Sales data from Square,
automatically imported.

Discourse Brewing was manually exporting sales reports from Square and re-entering the numbers into their internal system. We built a direct integration that pulls transaction data from Square automatically - every sale, every item, every day - so the numbers are always current without anyone touching a spreadsheet.

Equipment Service Company — How It Started

This 100-person operation was keeping two sets of data in sync across two different services just to track repair orders. Their existing system couldn't handle the fields they actually needed — technician assignments, status tracking, equipment confirmation. We started by pulling their repair orders into one place and adding those missing fields. That single step led to everything below.

03

From open ticket to closed invoice -
every step accounted for.

This repair workflow tracks every job from the moment it comes in to the moment it's settled. Technicians, supervisors, and billing staff each have a defined role in the process, with status changes, document attachments, hold reasons, and a full activity trail at every stage.

Nothing moves forward without the right sign-off, and nothing gets lost between steps.

04

Quote it, order it, receive it -
nothing falls through.

Parts requests were happening on paper — handwritten notes tied to repair orders, easy to lose, impossible to track. We replaced that with forms that create a parts request directly from the repair order, with a connected workflow that takes it all the way through vendor purchasing, receiving, and returns. Priority flags for urgent orders and a dedicated receiving page so nothing sits unlogged in a back room.

Every part is tied back to the repair order it belongs to, with clear visibility into what stage each request is in.

Fleet Maintenance Platform — How It Started

A company managing preventative maintenance schedules entirely in spreadsheets decided to build a web-based tool. The first development team they hired didn't deliver — months of work, significant investment, and a product that didn't meet their needs. We were referred by another development team to take over. We rebuilt the platform from scratch as a fixed project, and as new features took shape, the client went all in. What started as a rebuild became our flagship project.

05

Every piece of equipment. Where it is. What shape it's in.

This system tracks the full lifecycle of every asset - from serial number and ownership type to service history, meter readings, and photo documentation. A live Mapbox-powered map shows where each asset is located, color-coded by status, so managers can see the whole fleet at a glance.

QR code scanning gives field techs instant access to the same information from their phone.

06

Maintenance that happens on schedule -
not after something breaks.

We built a template-based PM system where service intervals are configured once and tracked automatically from that point forward - by time, by meter reading, or both. Status badges show what's overdue, what's coming up, and what's been completed, so the maintenance team always knows where things stand without digging through records.

07

Diagnose it, quote it, close it out -
without anything slipping between steps.

Getting a job from initial assessment to signed close-out involves a lot of handoffs - and that's exactly where things go missing. We built a three-stage workflow that moves from structured equipment diagnosis to customer-facing estimate to final documentation.

Status tracking at every step, nothing advancing until the previous stage is complete. The customer gets a clear quote; the team gets a clean record.
