Custom software tools for small businesses
When there's no app that fits how your team does the job, I build a small tool that does.
The problem
Some work is so specific to your business that nothing off the shelf fits, so somebody does it by hand every day. One job a client did by hand every morning took about an hour. The tool does it in about two minutes.
How it works
- You show me the job the way it gets done today.
- I check whether something you can buy already does it. If it does, I tell you.
- If nothing fits, I build a tool around how your team already works.
- It's tested on your real work and handed over with logins for your team.
What you get
- A tool shaped around your process, not the other way around
- Logins for the people who use it
- Your data stays yours
- A fixed scope and price agreed before any work starts
- An optional monthly plan for fixes and small adjustments
Questions owners ask
Will you tell me if I don't need custom software?
Yes. If a product already does it, that's the cheaper answer, and that's what you'll hear on the call.
What if it breaks?
The optional monthly plan covers fixes and small adjustments, so you're not stuck.
Do my people need training?
It's built around how they already work, so there's very little to learn. I walk them through it at handoff.
Who builds it
I'm Vanwayne, the builder behind Zulvan, a Miami University computer engineering grad working with small businesses across the Cleveland and Akron area. You talk to the person who builds it, from the first call to the handoff.
