What I build

Don't take my word for it. Click around.

This is the kind of software I build, filled with a sample shop's numbers. Finish a job, reorder stock, chase an invoice, ask it a question.

Ridgeline, a plumbing company's year

Ridgeline is a made-up plumbing company with two years of jobs in it. This is the monthly review its owner would otherwise build in a spreadsheet and never quite finish. It's for a shop owner who knows the work is coming in but can't say where the money is slipping away.

What the dashboard shows

  • Revenue, jobs and return trips, each with a trend line.
  • A "Found" list of money the company is missing, like open quotes nobody followed up.
  • Where the money comes from, how each tech is doing, and which lead sources pay back.

Ask it things like

  • Which quotes are still open?
  • Who's my top tech?
  • What do I get back for each marketing dollar?

Summit Plumbing, a texting bot

Text it like a customer would. It answers questions, asks what's wrong, and books a time. Summit Plumbing is made up, and it only covers Idaho Falls to Rexburg.

Rather use your phone? Message it on Telegram → (it takes photos too).

Storm Desk, a snow removal company

A made-up snow removal company. Start a simulated storm and see which customers are in its path. Then draft the two texts, approve them, and watch them go out. The weather alert is a simulation, the customers are fake, and nothing is really sent.

More small demos

Smaller tools, same sample data.

Shorter, single-purpose apps. I keep adding to this shelf.

Automations already running in a real shop

  • The shared boardPaper at every station became one live board nobody has to walk the floor to read.
  • Live inventory"What is on hand?" stopped meaning a walk to the shelf and a manual count.
  • One set of formulasThe written stain and tint formulas didn't agree. Now there's one set on the tablet, math done.
  • Wifi drops do not stop the dayUpdates queue locally and catch up on reconnect, so a blip is no longer an outage.
  • No more missed callsA texting bot and voice receptionist answer, capture the lead, and hand it to the owner.

Tell me what's slowing you down. I'll tell you straight if it's worth fixing.

There's no pitch. If you don't need software, I'll say so, and you'll still leave with an idea or two.

Not ready to talk? Ask the chat a question. It's on every page.
