Tech consulting for small businesses
We untangle your systems, design the right solution and lend you senior tech leadership when you need it. So technology works for your business, not the other way around. Plain English, no acronyms required.
No sales pitch. No jargon. We'll even explain what an API is if you ask nicely.
The symptoms
Our most important system is a spreadsheet named FINAL_v7_REAL.
We pay for nine apps. We use about three.Subscription creep
Only one person knows the website password, and they're on vacation.Auto-reply: back Monday. Maybe.Single point of failure
Every vendor says their tool fixes everything. None of them talk to each other.Integration gaps
We copy the same data into three places, every single day.Manual work
I know we need an AI strategy. I'm not sure what that means.The AI question
None of this means you're behind. It means you've been busy running a business. (We love a messy setup. No judgment.)
Try it: the tech tangle untangler
Tick the tools your business runs on. Every line is a hand-off someone does by hand: copying, exporting, double-checking. Then press the lime button.
Drag the bubbles around. Hover one to see its hand-offs. They don't mind.
Live scoring needs JavaScript. These numbers are for a typical small business with seven tools.
Classic growing-business tangle. Our favourite kind.
7 tools talking to each other by hand = 21 hand-offs. Through one tidy hub = 7.
Back-of-napkin math. The napkin was small. Nothing you tick leaves your browser.
What we do
Pick one, or let us figure out which one you actually need. That's part of the job.
We map how work really moves through your business, find the copy-paste, the double-entry and the tools you're paying for twice, then cut them out. Fewer steps, fewer apps, fewer "can you resend that?" emails.
→ The aim: fewer copy-paste hours and a leaner software bill.
New website, customer portal, booking system, automation or a custom app: we help you decide what to build, buy or skip, then make it happen with the right partners and a realistic budget.
→ A clear plan, a fair price, and something that actually launches.
Strategy, vendor management, hiring help and a steady hand on every technology decision, a few days a month. You get the judgment of a CTO for a fraction of the cost.
→ Someone in your corner who speaks both business and tech.
Security, data, cloud, AI: we translate the buzzwords, tell you what matters for a business your size, and help your team feel confident with the tools they use every day.
→ Fewer surprises, better decisions, calmer Mondays.
A closer look
A Chief Technology Officer makes sure technology serves the business plan. Most small businesses need that judgment but not a full-time executive. So you borrow one.
