For any small business

A system built around how your business already works.

Not software you have to bend your business to fit. A build shaped around your actual workflow, starting from frameworks that already work — so you're not paying anyone to invent the wheel.

Three frameworks

Custom, without starting from zero

Every build starts from one of these. They're proven and reusable, which is why a custom system doesn't have to carry a custom price tag.

FRAMEWORK 01

Client & Job Tracking

Service businesses, consultants, studios, agencies, trades

Every client and every job in one place — who they are, where things stand, and what happens next. Nothing lives on a sticky note or in a forgotten email thread.

Client database with full history
Job pipeline with status tracking
Notes and communication log
Automated follow-up reminders
For example: a landscaping company tracking every property, its service history, and the next scheduled visit in one view.
FRAMEWORK 02

Inventory & Product Tracking

Retailers, boutiques, makers, small product businesses

Know what you have, what's selling, and what's about to run out — without a manual count or a spreadsheet that's a week behind.

Live stock levels and product catalog
Automatic low-stock alerts
Supplier and reorder tracking
Sales activity tied to inventory
For example: a boutique tracking stock across two locations, with alerts before anything sells out.
FRAMEWORK 03

Booking & Intake

Wellness, studios, consultations, appointment-based work

Let clients book their own time and tell you what you need to know before they walk in the door — so the first conversation starts further along.

Online booking calendar
Custom intake forms
Automated confirmations and reminders
Client details captured up front
For example: a wellness studio letting clients book sessions and complete intake before a first visit.
The process

How a custom build comes together

01

Discovery conversation

We talk through how your business actually runs — a real conversation, not a form.

02

Framework & scope

We pick the framework that fits, agree what's included, and you get a number before anything starts.

03

Build & configure

Your system gets configured around your real data, not a generic demo.

04

Launch & support

You go live with support included — not handed a login and left to it.

Investment

What it costs

Every build is scoped to what you actually need, so the number depends on the work. Here's the shape of it.

From $3,500
one-time build, then $300 / month
The monthly covers support and changes.
Start a Conversation
Discovery and framework selection
Built and configured around your real workflow
Your data migrated in, not left for you to type
Ongoing support and changes as the business shifts
Direct access — not a ticket queue
Final scope is agreed before anything starts — you'll never get an open-ended bill.
Running a contractor business with standard bids and invoices? crew&cost is probably a simpler and cheaper fit — we'd rather point you there than sell you something bigger.

The setup can be spread out

If a lump sum is the obstacle, the build fee can be paid monthly across the build instead. Same price, easier on the books.

Reduced rate for nonprofits

Registered nonprofits pay $2,600 setup and $250 a month. Just say so when you get in touch.

Sometimes you don't need us

If your problem is smaller than a full build, we'll tell you that and point you at what would actually solve it.

Questions

Things worth asking

How is the price decided?

It depends which framework fits and how much configuration your business needs. You get a clear number before anything begins — no open-ended billing.

What if I need more than one framework?

They combine. A retailer might need inventory tracking and client tracking together — that gets sorted during discovery.

How long does it take?

Most builds are scoped and configured within a few weeks, depending on complexity. You'll have a timeline before you commit.

What happens after launch?

Support is part of the monthly. As your business changes, the system changes with it — that's the point of building it this way.
