Online booking
Customers pick an open time on your site without a phone call. You see every booking in one place and block off the days you're out.
Custom tools
Software built around how you already work.
Online booking, quotes, job tracking, customer portals and inventory for trades, ranches, rentals and shops across the Northern Hills. You deal with the guy doing the work.
What I build
Not just websites. Tools you use every day.
If it lives on scraps of paper, a whiteboard or a spreadsheet now, it can probably be a tool on your phone.
Quotes
Customers ask for a quote online, photos included. You build it from your own price list and send a link they can accept.
Job tracking
Every job, its status and its quote on one board, from new to done. Update it from your phone on the job.
Customer portal
Your customers sign in to see their jobs or orders, their documents and their history, and send you a message.
Inventory
What you have and where it is: shop, truck or barn. Low-stock alerts, so you find out before you run out.

Questions
Custom tool questions.
How much does a custom tool cost?
Custom tools start at $2,500. The price depends on what it needs to do: a booking calendar is simpler than a job tracker with a customer portal. I quote it after we talk it through, the build is 50% up front, and the first 3 months of the care plan ($49 to $99 a month) are included.
What does it run on?
It runs in a web browser, so you, your staff and your customers use it on a phone, tablet or computer with nothing to install. I host it and keep it backed up and up to date on the care plan.
What kind of tools can you build?
Online booking and quote requests, job boards that show every job and its status, customer portals and inventory you can check from the truck. Also online ordering, direct booking for rentals, pre-orders, event sign-ups, invoices, review requests, reminders, staff schedules and reports. If you track it on paper or in a spreadsheet now, ask.
Do I have to change how I work?
No. That's the point. I look at how jobs, bookings or stock move through your day now and build the tool around that, in your words, not the other way around.
Is it built from scratch every time?
No. The parts every tool needs (logins for you and your staff, a customer list, a dashboard that works on a phone, backups) are already built and tested, so your money goes into the parts that are yours.
Do you come to Spearfish or Sturgis?
Yes. I'm based in Belle Fourche and come to businesses in Spearfish, Sturgis and across the Northern Hills. I like to see how you work in person, and the rest can happen by phone, text and email. Farther out? Ask, and I'll tell you plainly.
