Custom CRM and operations software for companies that build, install and ship
For contractors, field service, logistics and manufacturing teams that have outgrown spreadsheets but don't need SAP. Fixed price, fixed scope, and the code is yours.
*Two founders: a manufacturing engineer turned software architect, and a B2B product designer. The engineer who designs your system writes and reviews its code.
Built for operations that deal with real materials, crews and orders
Generic CRM tools are built for digital sales pipelines. We engineer systems for businesses operating in the physical world.
Construction, installation & field service
- Estimate and quote calculators built with your real material rules
- Cut-list and material usage tracking to reduce offcut waste
- Site measurements turned into branded client quotes in minutes
Logistics, warehousing & distribution
- Order and shipment tracking across operational handoff stages
- Claims and returns logs with photos, POD documents and resolution status
- Stock movements across your own sites, plus supplier data where their systems allow an export or API.
B2B manufacturing
- Order intake and production stage progress monitoring
- Job traveler cards, BOM specifications and compliance docs in one place
- Real-time manager view of what is delayed, blocked or over budget
Start small. Grow only when it pays off.
Every step is a fixed-price deliverable you keep, even if you stop there. Most clients start with Step 1.
Operations Audit
A 5–7 day discovery sprint to map your workflow bottlenecks and deliver a clickable prototype with a fixed build specification.
- Workflow bottleneck mapping
- Clickable core-flow prototype (5–6 screens)
- Written build scope & integration map
- Fixed-price build quote (valid for 60 days)
AI Workflow Automation
AI document and message pipelines built into the tools you already use, with validation rules and a human review queue for exceptions.
- 1 end-to-end incoming document or message workflow
- Deterministic validation rules & human review queue
- Human sign-off before financial or customer-facing actions
- Measured accuracy pilot on your historical records before go-live
Focused Micro-Systems
A targeted tool for a single core workflow with an operator dashboard, role permissions, automated documents, and key integrations.
- 1 workflow with a focused operator dashboard
- 2 roles (e.g. estimator / admin)
- Automated PDFs (quotes, invoices or work orders)
- 1 integration (e.g. QuickBooks, Stripe, email) and structured data import
Custom Operational CRM
A focused Core Operational CRM (Phase 1 Release) for clients, orders, field work, and team reporting, built around your exact workflow with no per-seat fees.
- Central PostgreSQL database for clients, orders, jobs and documents
- Management dashboards with live revenue, margin and bottleneck numbers
- Granular role-based access for office, field crews, and leadership
- 1–2 integrations included, migration of active records via structured import templates, and staff training
Payment schedules, optional add-ons & post-launch Care plans
Every build uses milestone-based payments, includes a 30-day warranty, and runs on your own cloud accounts with zero license lock-in. See full tier specs, add-on prices, and optional Care plans (from $500/month) on our Pricing page.
How this compares to what you're probably using now
Compare ownership, launch speed, and total cost of ownership across common solutions.
| Dimension | Spreadsheets | Off-the-shelf CRM | ERP (SAP, NetSuite) | SolviLab — an engineering boutique |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fits your exact process | Partly (fragile formulas) | You must adapt to it | You must adapt to it (heavy) | Built 100% around your rules |
| Cost over time | Hidden cost in hours & errors | Grows per user indefinitely | Heavy initial fees + consultants | One-time build + optional support |
| Who owns code & data | You (fragile files) | Vendor owns system, you export data | Complex licensing agreements | 100% yours on your cloud servers |
| Deployment speed | Immediate (but manual overhead) | Weeks of configuration & workarounds | Often 3–12+ months for multi-department rollouts | 2–4 weeks for micro-systems; 6–12 weeks for CRM |
| Scalability with team size | Fragile when multiple people edit at once | Costs multiply with every new hire | High overhead, complex training | No per-seat fees |
Why work with a small team
Direct access, industrial expertise, and modern AI acceleration without agency overhead.
The engineer who designs your system writes and reviews its code.
No account managers, no silent handoffs. Two founders lead your build directly, plus one senior developer when parallel speed is needed (introduced before work begins).
We understand the work, not just the code
Our engineering background means we understand physical measurements, material takeoffs, margin formulas and production workflows from the inside.
AI-assisted engineering velocity
We use AI tooling for scaffolding, migrations, and automated test generation while keeping 100% of data modeling, business math, and code review in founder hands.
We take on at most two builds at a time.
Strict capacity limits ensure undivided attention and live working demos every 1–2 weeks with fast async feedback loops to keep your launch date on track.
Questions we usually get
Straightforward answers about code ownership, scope changes, hosting costs, and delivery.
