Custom internal system
A system that keeps jobs, people, deadlines and numbers together — built around how your company actually works, not around an off-the-shelf template.
- For
- Companies of 5–100 people
- First version
- Usually 4–8 weeks
- Scope
- From a single process
- Ownership
- 100% yours
When it makes sense
- Jobs, deadlines and statuses live in spreadsheets, e-mails and people’s heads.
- You tried off-the-shelf software, but you have to adapt to it, not the other way round.
- You pay for several tools that don’t talk to each other and retype data between them.
- Everyone does the same thing slightly differently and new people take weeks to learn.
- “How are we doing?” can only be answered after someone builds a report.
What I can build
Capacity planning
Who’s free when, what’s in progress and where things will slip — on one screen, not a wall chart.
Approvals
Invoices, purchases or leave with a clear flow of who approves what and when. No lost e-mails.
Client portal
Clients see their job status, documents and invoices themselves. You get fewer calls.
Management overview
Revenue, margins, utilisation and delays in real time — without stitching numbers together.
Stock and orders
Inventory, reservations and orders tied to jobs, so you know what you have and what’s missing.
What changes
- Data is entered once and is correct everywhere.
- Everyone knows what’s next — the system guides them.
- You get the overview when you need it, not on Friday.
- The process survives one person leaving.
How we work together
Every project goes through the same four steps. At each one you know upfront what you’ll get.
What does manual work cost you now?
Work out how many hours and how much money a system would save per year, and how fast it pays back.
Common questions
Why custom rather than off-the-shelf software?
Off-the-shelf is great when it fits. Custom makes sense when you have to bend around it, pay for features you don’t use and still keep a spreadsheet next to it. We’ll assess it honestly on the intro call — and if an existing tool is enough, I’ll say so.
How big does the system have to be?
It can be small. Often we start with one process, such as job tracking, and add parts once the first version proves itself. You pay for what you actually use.
Who owns the system?
The code, data and access are yours from day one. No per-user licences, no vendor lock-in.

Shall we talk it through?
30 minutes on Google Meet. We’ll find out whether it makes sense — and if it doesn’t, I’ll tell you straight.
