Client & Supplier Portals
Customers keep calling to ask where their order is?
Customers order and track online. Your team stops re-typing.
Sound familiar?
- Orders arrive by email, phone and WhatsApp, and get re-keyed by hand, with errors.
- Print files and job specs come in the wrong format or resolution, and are found late.
- Customers call to ask “where is my order?” several times a day.

What we build
Order intake
Guided forms with product-specific fields, quantity breaks, due dates and repeat-order shortcuts.
File upload and preflight
Drag-and-drop upload of print-ready PDFs, checked for page size, bleed, colour mode and resolution, with a clear pass or fail message.
Custom job specs
A spec builder per product (stock, finish, binding, dimensions) that feeds the production job record.
Status tracking
A live order timeline driven by the same data the shop floor updates.
Automated notifications
Email and SMS at each status change, proof-approval links and delivery confirmation, with no staff action needed.
Supplier side and accounts
Purchase orders pushed to suppliers. Company accounts with roles, row-level security and SSO-ready sign-in.

Workflow Automation Pipelines
Still typing supplier invoices into QuickBooks?
Invoices and emails become data automatically.
Sound familiar?
- Staff spend hours a week keying supplier invoices, POs and delivery notes into QuickBooks or the ERP.
- Data lives in several tools that disagree: the spreadsheet says one thing, the accounting system another.
- Routine steps (send the invoice, chase the approval, update the stock count) depend on someone remembering.

QuickBooks / ERP
Posted to the books
What we build
PDF and invoice parsing
Extracts vendor, line items, totals, tax and PO numbers. Low-confidence fields go to a review queue, not straight into the books.
Email parsing
A dedicated inbox whose messages and attachments become structured records automatically.
Database syncing
Two-way sync between your database and your spreadsheets or line-of-business tools, with conflict rules.
QuickBooks and ERP bridges
Creates bills, invoices, customers and items through official APIs, with matching to avoid duplicates.
Background jobs
Scheduled and event-driven jobs with retries, step-level logs and alerts on failure.
Review and audit trail
An approval screen for exceptions, and every automated action logged with its source document.

Real-Time ERP & Operations Dashboards
Walking the floor to find out what's late?
Every job, crew and asset on one live screen.
Sound familiar?
- The owner has to walk the floor or call around to know where things stand.
- Job status lives on whiteboards and in people's heads, so handovers drop work.
- Field crews get dispatched by phone and text, with no record of who went where.

What we build
Kanban job boards
Drag-and-drop boards per department, with due-date warnings and capacity limits.
Field dispatch
Assign jobs to crews on a calendar and map. Crews check in, add photos and notes, and capture signatures.
Inventory and assets
Stock levels with reorder points, barcode or QR scanning from a phone, and equipment history.
Real-time updates
Changes reach every open screen instantly, with no refresh and no stale data.
KPI dashboards
Throughput, on-time rate, backlog, revenue by customer and crew utilisation.
Alerts
Rules such as “job late by 1 day” or “stock below reorder point” trigger email, SMS or Slack messages.

Custom Software Development
Software that only does 80% of the job?
The system your operation needs, when no product fits.
Sound familiar?
- Off-the-shelf software covers 80% of the job, and staff work around the other 20% with spreadsheets.
- A core process (quoting, scheduling, costing) lives in one person's head or one fragile spreadsheet.
- Several disconnected tools each hold part of the picture.
