01 — Software & Strategy
We build the tools your company runs on and stay in them after launch. Senior people, two ways to engage: fractional, as your standing technology team, or project-based, with a defined scope and a finish line.
Two ways to work with us
Pick the shape that fits the problem. Both come with senior people doing the work, a written scope, and documentation you keep.
A standing engagement, usually a set number of days per week. We own the technology function: the roadmap, build-versus-buy decisions, architecture, vendor and systems choices, and the hands-on build. You get senior leadership and delivery capacity without standing up a department.
A time-boxed engagement with a written scope and a deliverable: a CRM or internal tool, a data platform, a build-versus-buy audit, a systems or vendor audit, a territory or operations redesign. We scope it, build it, hand it over documented, and stay reachable after launch.
What we do
You have outgrown duct-taped tools, but hiring a whole engineering and operations team does not make sense yet. That is the gap we fill, across four kinds of work.
The technology and operations leadership you would hire if you were ready to hire a whole team: audits, roadmaps, and interim leadership, instead of a slide deck you have to execute yourself.
We build the tools your company runs on, CRMs, internal tools, and the applications your customers use, around the way you work rather than a template.
All of your scattered data in one place you can trust, with the pipelines and governance to keep it that way.
AI as a standing part of how we build, not an experiment bolted on afterward. It is the same tooling we use to run our own operations.
We don’t disappear after launch.
How it starts
A working session on the problem, the systems you already have, and what done looks like. If buying something off the shelf is the smarter move, we say so here.
A written scope: what we will build or own, who does what, the cadence, the timeline, and the price. Monthly for fractional work, per engagement for projects.
We build in the open with weekly check-ins and document as we go. Projects end with a handoff your team can run. Fractional engagements keep going, with us running it alongside you.
Case study · Fractional engagement
A consumer goods client needed the whole commercial stack: field sales CRM, order fulfillment, data pipelines, BI, integrations, and demand planning. Rather than license ten products and staff a full-time department, they brought us in on a fractional basis. We built the stack in-house, with the first milestone live in production inside two weeks.
We built a rep-facing app around the way the team sells, rather than bending a packaged CRM to fit the process.
Built in a week and refined over a month, it replaced shipping software and order-management middleware. Because we owned the stack, we wired it directly into carrier rate shopping, which saved roughly $50K in freight on a single sample push.
Custom ELT, a dbt semantic layer with 59 models, and the 10 dashboards leadership runs on, replacing three separate SaaS tiers for pipelines, modeling, and reporting.
Self-hosted workflow automation behind every scheduled job and integration, plus 21 autonomous monitoring cells that watch the platform around the clock, in place of an iPaaS contract and a separate support and observability stack.
Built once. Owned outright. Still paying for itself.
We delivered all of it as a fractional engagement, without a full-time department or an agency retainer. That is the platform dividend: software the company owns outright, with nothing to re-license, and a cost center turned into an asset that compounds.
Project work
Defined scope, a written proposal, and a handoff at the end. A few recent ones.
We rebuilt a national medical device sales organization’s territory model from state level to ZIP prefix, remapping 22,000-plus accounts across 8 regions.
End-to-end show-prep and operations tooling for a sales organization running 48 events a year across 8 regions.
We identified a $60K-a-year managed IT contract that automation and cloud-native security had made unnecessary, then mapped a phased plan to bring it in-house.
