Operations engineering

The system your business actually runs on.

Custom sales and operations software, the secure infrastructure under it, and private AI that never leaves the building. One firm that writes the software and owns the infrastructure, so there is nobody to hand the problem to.

Same team writes the feature and owns the 3 a.m. page.

What we do

Three disciplines. They only work together.

Software vendors hand you a login and wish you luck. IT firms keep the lights on but can't change the product. Doing both is what makes the third one possible at all.

Build

Software shaped to your operation

Your business already has a shape — how commissions actually get paid, how a shift actually gets covered. Off-the-shelf software makes you bend to its shape. We build to yours, and we don't charge you to configure your way back to where you started.

  • Reconciliation and finance workflows
  • Hiring, scheduling, time and attendance
  • Internal team chat, built in — not another subscription
  • Reporting that matches how you measure
  • Web and native mobile, one system
Run

We own the metal

Servers, network, identity, backups, monitoring, uptime. Restores we actually rehearse rather than hope about. Your data lives where you decide it lives — your building, our rack, or your cloud account.

  • Server and network build-out
  • Single sign-on and granular access control
  • Automated backup and disaster recovery
  • On-premise, colocated, or your cloud
Think

AI that stays in the building

Models running on hardware we control. Your payroll, your margins and your people data never become someone else's training set, and no meter runs per question.

  • Private inference on dedicated GPUs
  • Assistants grounded in your own documents
  • Anomaly and exception detection
  • Fixed cost, not per-token billing
Capabilities

Eight jobs, one login.

One system for the money, the people, the stores and the data behind them. Every piece below is real work we've delivered and now operate every day, not a feature list we assembled for a website.

Commission & revenue recovery

Matches every sale to what the carrier or vendor actually paid, and itemizes the gap.

Payroll & comp plans

Versioned comp plans, a payout engine, and one-by-one payroll sign-off.

Inventory & supply chain

Reorders, transfers, counts, returns, and a watch on high-value devices.

Store operations

Opening and closing checklists, cash and deposit checks, and store hours.

People, HR & hiring

Applicant pipeline through onboarding, training, warnings and reviews.

Reporting & scorecards

40+ reports, live rep scorecards, and pace and goal tracking.

Customer retention

Cancel-risk callbacks, follow-ups, failed orders and business leads.

Automation & private AI

Bots that pull vendor data every night, and an on-site AI analyst.

Automation

Robots pull the data vendors won't give you.

Source

Vendor portals

Carrier, point-of-sale, bank and BI sites that have no usable API.

Capture

Isolated bots

Run every night on separate machines, with their own logins.

Check

Quality gates

Bad rows are quarantined with a reason, never silently dropped.

Deliver

Ready by morning

Reports, alerts and manager emails land before the stores open.

Proof of work

Proven where the numbers are hardest.

Our flagship system runs a 12-location Verizon authorized wireless retailer end to end — an industry where commissions arrive months late, get clawed back without warning, and never quite match the point of sale. If the engine holds up against carrier reconciliation, it will hold up against your industry. This is the console that started it, and it is still the hardest thing the platform does.

Business impact

Grow revenue. Stop the leaks.

Five ways the platform brings money in, and five ways it protects what you've already earned.

On offense

Five ways it brings money in

  • Recover unpaid commissionsEvery underpaid device itemized with a reason, so claims get filed instead of written off.
  • Collect every rebateVendor rebates and claims tracked from filing to payment, so nothing ages out.
  • Save lines before they cancelCancel-risk callbacks and follow-up queues put the right customer in front of a rep today.
  • Raise attach and conversionLive scorecards and what-if pay show reps exactly which sale moves their number.
  • Turn leads into salesFailed orders, preorders and business leads routed to a rep with a deadline.
On defense

Five ways it protects what you've earned

  • Defend against chargebacksChargebacks tracked by rep and month, with evidence ready for disputes.
  • Catch fraud and shrink earlyHigh-value device watch, count variances, cash drawer and deposit checks.
  • Pay people correctlyPayroll tie-outs, missing-rate guards and attendance anomalies caught before payday.
  • Document HR consistentlyWarnings, conference forms and improvement plans written the same way every time.
  • Never lose data silentlyFreshness checks, quarantined bad rows, and an audit trail on every change.
Where it shows up

Month-end close becomes a dashboard

Match rate and open items for every period at a glance, chargebacks in one place, and rebates and claims tracked until they're paid.

Every rep sees what moves their pay

Gross profit, conversion and attach rates update daily. Reps can see what one more protection plan is worth today, and bonus levers unlock as goals are hit.

Schedules and coverage in one view

Coverage and budgeted hours across every store, missed punches and overtime flagged early, and shifts synced to Microsoft Teams where staff already look.

Private AI

The platform

Sixty-five things somebody asked us for.

This is one client's system after seven months — not a product catalog. Every module below started as a specific request from someone doing the job, and all of it runs in one place instead of across nine subscriptions. Your build would look nothing like this list, because your business isn't theirs.

Beta channel

Native apps, two channels

Staff install it from a link and it behaves like a real app, because it is one. Your team runs the stable channel; your managers can run beta and see what's coming next. Both install side by side on the same phone.

Infrastructure

We don't just write it. We keep it running.

The team that ships the features owns the servers, the network and the pager. That is unusual, and it is the reason problems get fixed here instead of forwarded to a vendor.

Compute

Virtualization & VM builds

Multi-node clusters with live migration, so a failed host moves workloads instead of taking the day off. We size, build and hand over the virtual machines and containers your systems run in.

Data

PostgreSQL, tuned

Dedicated database hosts, nightly dumps, point-in-time recovery, and restores we rehearse on a schedule.

Access

Your identity, your rules

Microsoft Entra or Google sign-in, enforced multi-factor, passkeys, and identity checked at the edge before a request reaches the server. Permissions go down to the individual button.

AI

Private GPU inference

Dedicated GPUs running open models, with vector search across your own documents. Nothing leaves the network.

Automation

Robotic data capture

When a vendor has no API, we drive their portal on a schedule and land the data in your warehouse anyway.

Network

Firewall & segmentation

Enterprise firewall, managed switching and wireless, VLANs separating management, business systems and devices, site-to-site VPN between locations.

Delivery

Atomic deploys

Multi-phase deploy with build verification and automatic rollback. A bad release never reaches your staff.

Hardware

Specified and built

We spec the machines, build them, rack them and install the stack — whether that's a single on-site server or a full cluster. You can own the hardware outright.

Continuity

Backup and recovery

Scheduled backups, off-box copies, and restores rehearsed on a schedule rather than assumed. Documented runbooks so recovery isn't tribal knowledge.

Audit

Everything is logged

Every write records who, what, when, and the value before and after. "Who changed this?" takes seconds to answer.

Access & security

Locked down to whatever level you need.

Single sign-on is the floor, not the ceiling. Because we run the network as well as the software, we can put controls in front of your systems that a normal software vendor cannot reach. Three things we can state as fact rather than aspiration: no public inbound ports at all, 383 distinct permissions enforced across 1,430 checks, and every single write audited with its before and after value.

Who gets in

Identity

Use the identity system you already pay for. We support the major ones and don't lock you to any.

  • Microsoft Entra or Google Workspace sign-in
  • Okta and other SAML providers
  • Enforced multi-factor — no opt-out per user
  • Passkeys and hardware keys, which phishing can't defeat
  • One-time email codes for contractors without accounts
How they reach it

The network

Identity is checked at the edge, before a request ever reaches the server running your data.

  • No public origin — the server has no open inbound ports at all
  • Restrict by country, network or office IP
  • Managed-device checks — company laptops only, if you want
  • Client certificates for administrator access
  • Firewall, bot filtering and rate limiting in front of everything
Regulated data

Customer information

If you hold customer network or account information, it carries rules. The architecture assumes that from the start rather than bolting it on.

  • Local AI first — anything touching customer, device or commission data is answered by models on hardware we control
  • No cloud AI — outside AI services are switched off and hold no keys
  • Sensitive fields such as SSNs and IDs encrypted at rest and masked on screen
  • AI memory and search indexes never leave the network
  • HR records visible only to the people cleared for them
What they can do

Inside the system

Getting in is not the same as getting everything. Permissions go down to the individual button.

  • Role-based permissions, per feature and per action
  • Re-authentication before sensitive changes like pay
  • Sessions expire daily; shared links are signed and expire
  • Nightly encrypted backups, with the decryption key held offline
  • Changes tested on a separate stack first; routine production access is read-only
  • Every write audited — who, what, when, before and after
  • Store managers see their store; nobody sees more than their role allows

The math

What this work is worth.

A custom build has to earn its keep against something. Here is the stack a 50-person multi-location operation typically rents to cover the same ground. Published list prices at 50 seats. The money matters — but the reason clients move is that none of these nine systems know the others exist, so the joins between them stay manual forever.

How we work

You'll know what it costs before we write anything.

No discovery retainer, no six-week paid scoping exercise. We look at the problem, tell you honestly whether it's worth building, and quote a fixed price for the first piece.

First

Show us the workaround

The spreadsheet, the shared inbox, the process only one person understands. We ask what it costs you in hours and mistakes.

A conversation. No charge.
Then

A straight answer

Sometimes the honest answer is that software won't fix it, or that a tool you already pay for will. We'll say so. When it is worth building, you get a fixed price and a date.

Within a week.
Build

One piece, working

We build the smallest thing that solves the actual problem and put it in front of the people doing the job. You judge it on whether their day got easier.

Two to six weeks, typically.
Then keep going

We run it, and it grows

Hosting, backups, monitoring and support are ours. New modules arrive as the business needs them, not as a version upgrade you have to buy.

Monthly, cancel with notice.
How this works

Three ways in.

Most clients start with one painful process, watch it get fixed, and expand from there. That's the honest path — nobody should buy an operating system on day one.

Start here

Fix one process

Pick the thing costing you money or weekends. We build exactly that, deploy it, and you judge us on it.

  • Scoped build, fixed price
  • Live in weeks, not quarters
  • Runs on your infrastructure or ours
  • Your data stays yours, exportable any time
Most clients

Your platform, managed

A dedicated instance configured to your operation, hosted and maintained by us, with new modules as the business needs them.

  • Your own isolated deployment
  • Hosting, backups and monitoring included
  • Branded native apps for your staff
  • Ongoing development, monthly
Full stack

Systems and IT

We take the entire technical footprint — servers, network, identity, backups, AI — and run it, with custom software on top.

  • Infrastructure design and build
  • Network, firewall, wireless, sign-on
  • Private AI hosting
  • One number to call
Straight answers

The questions people actually ask.

Who owns the software and the data?
Those are two different things, and we treat them differently. Your data is yours outright — every record, exportable at any time in open formats, no fee and no notice required. The software is subscription-licensed for as long as you're with us. You're not buying a frozen copy; you're paying for a system that keeps running, keeps getting new modules, and keeps having someone accountable for it at 3 a.m. If you leave, you take your data and we help you move it.
How much data will this actually use?
Less than people expect, and we can be specific because we measure it. A live 12-location operation with 76 staff sits at 6.5 GB — roughly 550 MB per location, or about 1.7 GB per location per year of history. That is a rounding error to store, which is why we never price on data volume or charge per gigabyte. The one thing that genuinely grows is scanned documents and photos, so if you image everything we'll size for it up front rather than surprise you later.
What happens if we stop paying?
You will never be locked out by surprise. Warnings arrive well ahead of anything changing, and there's a grace period after that — nobody discovers a billing problem mid-shift on a Saturday. And if you ever do move on, we don't make you fight for your data. We send you a complete export automatically, in open formats, without you having to ask — then keep a copy safe and downloadable for a full year in case you need it again. Your data is yours the entire way through. The subscription pays for the software, the hosting and the people behind it. Never for custody of your own records.
Can it run in our cloud instead of yours?
Yes. The platform is standard containers and PostgreSQL with no proprietary cloud dependencies, so it runs in your data center, your AWS or Azure account, or our racks — your choice, and reversible later. The only piece that benefits from our hardware is private AI inference, which can also fall back to a hosted model provider if you'd rather not run GPUs.
We already have systems that work. Why change?
Don't change those. The value isn't replacing what works — it's the seams between them, where people retype data, reconcile by hand, or find out about a problem a week late. We start at a seam. If your existing tools have APIs, we integrate rather than replace.
How long does it take?
A single scoped process is typically live in two to six weeks. A full platform deployment configured to your operation runs one to three months depending on how many of your workflows are genuinely unusual. Our flagship system was running in production within five months, and it's still growing seven months in.
What happens if you get hit by a bus?
Fair question, and it matters more with a small firm than a large one, so we answer it in the contract rather than in conversation. Your data is exportable at any moment, so you are never holding a hostage situation. Infrastructure is defined in writing with documented runbooks, and the platform is standard containers and PostgreSQL — no proprietary runtime only we can operate. For larger agreements we place the source in third-party escrow, released to you automatically if we cease trading or fail to meet the service commitments we signed. You get continuity without either of us pretending a one-time purchase covers ongoing work.
How do people sign in? Is it just Microsoft?
Microsoft Entra is the default because most of our clients already have it, but it is not the only option. We support Google Workspace sign-in, and identity can be enforced at the network edge so a request is authenticated before it ever reaches the server. On top of that: mandatory multi-factor, phishing-resistant passkeys, device compliance rules, session limits, and re-authentication before sensitive actions like changing pay. Most of that is policy we configure with you rather than software you buy.
Is our data used to train AI models?
No. When inference runs on our hardware, nothing is transmitted to a third party at all. That's how our flagship deployment runs: cloud AI is switched off entirely. If you opt for a hosted model provider instead, we use enterprise endpoints with training disabled, and we'll show you the configuration.
Get started

Show us the spreadsheet.

Every system we've built started as somebody's workaround — a spreadsheet, a shared inbox, a process only one person understood. Send us yours and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth building and what it would take.
