What outgrowing the spreadsheet looks like

Critical processes live in Google Sheets

The spreadsheet that runs your operations breaks every week. A formula gets overwritten, a sheet is shared with the wrong person, or someone sorts a column without realizing the rows are linked. Every fix is a ten-minute fire drill, and every change makes the next break harder to debug.

Manual data entry across four different tools

A job gets entered into your CRM, then re-entered into QuickBooks, then re-entered into a scheduling app, then re-entered into a shared inbox so the field crew sees it. The same information is keyed four times by four people, and every retype is a chance for it to drift.

Reports built by hand every Friday

Someone exports CSVs from three systems, lines them up in a spreadsheet, builds the same pivot they built last week, and emails the result to leadership. Two hours a week, fifty weeks a year — a whole month of someone's time spent rebuilding the same report.

Operations depend on one person's memory

The way orders flow, which vendor to call, which discount applies, how to invoice the weird customer — it all lives in the head of one long-tenured employee. The day they take a vacation, the business slows down. The day they leave, the business loses a quarter recovering.

What We Build

A real internal platform, built around your operation

Custom dashboards over your real operating data

We pull from your existing systems — QuickBooks, the CRM, the scheduling app, the spreadsheets — and build views your team actually uses every day. No more exporting CSVs to answer simple questions.

Workflow automation for daily work

The steps your team does on autopilot — quoting, dispatching, invoicing, status updates, follow-up emails — get encoded as software. Repetitive clicks become one button. Approvals route automatically.

Role-based access for ops, leadership, and field staff

Field crews see only their jobs. Ops sees the schedule. Leadership sees the metrics. Permissions match how your org actually works — no more sharing a single admin login because the permissions model is too coarse.

Integrations with the SaaS you already pay for

QuickBooks, Stripe, HubSpot, Twilio, Google Workspace, Slack, whatever you run on — the internal tool sits on top, not next to. Data flows in and out automatically. You stop double-entering things.

Mobile-friendly views for crews and field workers

Field staff get a phone-shaped interface for the things they do on the road: starting a job, snapping photos, updating status, capturing signatures. No app store, no install — it's a URL they bookmark.

A clean data model under it all

Behind the dashboards is a real schema — versioned, backed up, query-able. When you outgrow the first version of the tool, the data lives on. You're not locked into a no-code platform with no exit.

What’s included at the Studio tier

A full product team, on monthly retainer

Studio is the tier most internal-tools clients land on. Two concurrent initiatives, two deploys a week, and a dedicated PM — enough to ship a real platform without overspending on capacity you won’t use.

Two production deploys per week
Up to two concurrent initiatives
Dedicated PM (John) and senior dev lead
Shared Slack channel, 4-hour response in business hours
Monthly roadmap planning, quarterly business review
Production monitoring + minor feature requests included

Recommended Tier

Most internal-tools clients land on Studio

Internal tools are rarely one thing. There’s the dashboard, the workflow engine, the field-facing view, the integrations — each is its own track of work. Studio gives you two concurrent initiatives so we can ship the dashboard while we’re standing up the workflow side, without one bottlenecking the other.

If you only have one tightly-scoped tool to build — say, a single dashboard that replaces one spreadsheet — Foundry ($5,000/mo) is the right starting point. If you’re replacing an entire ops stack and need fractional-CTO time, Atelier ($10,000/mo) is the fit.
