Custom software that replaces the SaaS you’re renting
If your team runs on spreadsheets plus four subscriptions that almost fit, you’re paying rent forever for software that bends your business around it. I build operations platforms shaped around how you actually work — like the TMS that replaced a $2,100/month subscription for a 60-person trucking company.
Not sure the math works for you? The SaaS vs. owning payback calculator gives you a break-even month in about 30 seconds — no email required.
Operations platforms
The system your business runs on: orders, jobs, dispatch, inventory, scheduling — whatever your version of “the work” is, in one place with roles for every employee.
Portals & dashboards
Customer portals, partner applications, admin panels, and reporting that pulls from your real data instead of last month’s exported spreadsheet.
Integrations & APIs
Making your existing tools talk: accounting, CRMs, ERPs (SAP B1, Zoho), telephony, payment systems. Often the highest-ROI project on this page.
Rent vs. own: the honest math
SaaS is right when your needs are standard. It stops being right when you’re paying per seat for a 60-person team, or when “the software can’t do that” has become a sentence your staff says weekly. A custom build costs more up front, then costs almost nothing to run — and it appreciates: every improvement makes your asset better instead of your vendor’s.
On our first call I’ll do this math with you using your actual numbers. Sometimes the answer is “keep the SaaS” — you’ll get that answer for free.
Built with boring, proven technology
Laravel, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL/MySQL, deployed on DigitalOcean or your cloud. Technology chosen so that any competent developer could maintain it — because you own the code, and lock-in is a business model I don’t run.
Bring me your SaaS bill.
A 20-minute call with your subscription costs on the table — I'll tell you honestly whether owning your software beats renting it.
