Built to fit

When a workflow needs its own tool, we build it end to end: internal apps, approval queues, portals and AI agents, by an engineer embedded with your team.

One set of numbers

For services firms: projects, people, hours and pipeline in one place, checked every week, so every meeting starts from the same figures.

01Sales

Every enquiry answered in minutes.

Before
Enquiries from your website and WhatsApp wait until someone is free. By then the buyer has called someone else.
After
Each one gets a reply within minutes with call slots, and lands in your CRM. Your team steps in when the lead is warm.

Your call Replies use wording you approved. Pricing questions come to you.

When an automation is not enough.

When an automation is not enough, we build the software.

Some work needs its own tool: an app, a queue or a portal that fits how your team actually works. We build those end to end, as an engineer embedded with your team, not from a ticket queue.

Internal apps

Spreadsheets turned into apps

Project budgets, staffing requests or client codes, as a proper app with logins, approvals and a full history.

Control

Queues with an owner for every exception

Every automated change is recorded. Anything that fails goes to the right person with the reason, and reruns in one click.

AI agents

AI that drafts, people approve

Agents that read status reports, draft invoices or answer enquiries, inside a workflow where a person signs off.

Dashboards

A view for every role

Leaders, managers and finance each see their own numbers, all from one shared, trusted set of data.

Integrations

Systems that stay in step

Your CRM, HR and project tools kept in sync, with checks, run limits and a log of every change.

Portals

Portals for clients and partners

Clients see progress, share documents and approve work without long email threads.

Painting of a Formula 1 pit crew working in sync around a car

An engineer on your team, not a ticket queue.

Tech companies call this forward-deployed engineering: the engineer works inside your business, learns how the work really happens, and builds what fits. You get senior engineering without hiring a team.

  1. 01

    Sit with your team

    Time alongside the people who do the work, in person or on calls, to see how it really happens.

  2. 02

    Mock it up first

    A clickable mockup you can react to before any code is written.

  3. 03

    Ship in small slices

    A working first slice in weeks, then improvements every week or two, run beside your current process until it is trusted.

  4. 04

    Own it, or keep us on

    You own every account and line of code. Keep the engineer monthly, or take it in-house with full notes.

Talk about a custom build

One set of numbers across projects, people and sales.

For services firms: one set of numbers.

If you run projects in a PSA, people in an HRMS and deals in a CRM, the same facts live in three places and get re-keyed by hand. We bring them into one view, check the hours every week, and keep the systems in step, with a person approving anything important.

  • 01

    One set of numbers

    Projects, bookings, timesheets, people and pipeline in one place, refreshed through the day, each figure labelled with when it was last updated.

  • 02

    A weekly hours check

    Planned hours against logged hours, by person and project. Each gap shows the likely reason and who can fix it.

  • 03

    Systems kept in step

    New projects from won deals, joiners, leavers and leave copied across for you. Anything a rule cannot settle waits for a person, with the reason attached.

  • 04

    Month-end without the chase

    Missing timesheets nudged before the close, and unbilled work listed by project, so invoices go out on time.

Documents and photos first. No face recognition.

Vision applications: pixels to action.

Photos, scans and camera feeds already hold information your team types in by hand. We build tools that read them and turn them into entries, reports and alerts, with anything uncertain sent to a person.

01Finance

Bills and receipts, read for you.

Before
Supplier bills, receipts and delivery challans are typed into the accounts tool one by one.
After
A photo or PDF becomes a draft entry with supplier, amounts, GST and due date filled in.

Your call Anything the tool is unsure about waits for a check.

Visiting cards into your CRM.

Before
Cards from an event sit in a drawer until someone has time to type them in.
After
A photo of each card creates the contact in your CRM with a follow-up task.

Your call Follow-up messages go out only after you check them.

Talk about a retainer

Quotes in INR for clients in India (plus GST) and in USD for clients abroad. Software and AI usage runs on your own accounts, at cost.

The ones we hear on most calls.

Questions we often get

How much does it cost?

It depends on your systems and what we build. After the free audit call we send a written scope and quote, in INR for India or USD for clients abroad, before any work starts.

Do you work with our project, HR and sales systems?

Usually, yes. We connect to the tools you already pay for, start read-only, and only write changes back once you have approved how.

Where does our data go?

It stays in your own accounts. Automations run on your tools and your AI keys, and you can switch them off at any time.

Will it send anything without us?

Only what you allow. Proposals, payments and client messages wait for a person to approve.

What happens if it breaks?

You get an alert and so do we. Fixes are included for 30 days after go-live.

Who owns what you build?

You do, from the day it goes live.

What we have built, are building, or would build first.
