Internal systems
One place your team actually works from. Stock and ordering, job and ticket boards, approvals and sign-off, in a system built around how your business already runs.
What it is
The system your team opens first and closes last. We build the thing that holds the stock count, the approvals and the numbers that have to agree by Friday, and we build it to keep running.
What we usually build
- Stock and ordering
- Job and ticket boards
- Approvals and sign-off
What changes
- Before: Stock in a spreadsheet three people edit.After: one live stock count.
- Before: Jobs tracked on a whiteboard.After: a job board everyone can see.
- Before: Approvals buried in email.After: approve in one tap.
Before you call
- Who it's for
- Businesses whose day runs on a spreadsheet three people edit, a whiteboard, or approvals buried in email. Usually the owner, or the person running operations who has to make the numbers agree by Friday.
- What you're left holding
- The system and its data, the source code, every account it runs on, the deployment, and plain-English instructions somebody who did not build it can follow. If you never speak to us again, it carries on working.
Every job is scoped first, then given a fixed quote and dates in writing.
A real example
Oatley Coffee
- Before
- Working out what to order meant counting the shelves and guessing.
- We built
- An internal stock and ingredient system. What is on the shelf, what it goes into, and what the next order should be, without anyone guessing. Live, and in use every week.

Questions people ask
Do we have to change how we work?
As little as possible. The system is built around how your business already runs, and scoped with the people who do the work.
The scope has a do-not-build list, so it does not grow into something you did not ask for.
What do you actually build?
Internal systems, apps and the joins between them. A stock and ordering system, a board your team works from, a portal a client signs off in, and the automation that moves a job between them. Usually a web application, sometimes mobile, and always something somebody opens on a normal working day.
How does a job start?
With a thirty minute call about what is slow. If there is work in it, we write a scope: what we will build, what it does, and a do-not-build list so the edges are agreed before anyone starts.
Then a fixed quote, in writing. Nothing begins until you have read both.
What happens at handover?
You get the source, the accounts it runs on, the deployment, and written instructions somebody who did not build it can follow.
If you never speak to us again it carries on working, and that is the test we build to.
