Business systems
The software your
operation runs on.
Most small operations run on a whiteboard, three group chats and someone's memory. That works right up until it doesn't: a job gets dropped, a part runs out mid-install, a quote never gets followed up. These are the systems that stop that happening.
Dispatch board
Jobs, techs, and who's actually free.
Open the dispatch demo
assign jobs, watch routes update, fully workingThe problem. Someone is the dispatcher, and that someone is usually also the owner. Every job assignment is a phone call, every schedule change is three phone calls, and nobody except that one person knows where anyone is.
What it does. Every open job on a board, every tech with their current load and skills. Drive time is counted separately from time on site, so the numbers always explain themselves. Reorder a tech's stops and the driving recalculates as you drag. Overbook someone and it tells you before the customer finds out.
Inventory & reorder
Know what's on the truck before you leave.
Open the inventory demo
consume stock, trigger reorders, fully workingThe problem. A job stops because a $12 part isn't on the truck. The tech drives to a supplier, the customer waits, and the schedule behind that job collapses.
What it does. Stock levels per location and per vehicle, consumption logged as jobs complete, and reorder points that fire before you hit zero, not after. Usage history tells you what actually moves, so you stop tying up cash in parts that sit.
Booking and capacity
Slots that can actually happen.
Open the booking demo
pick a job, see which slots genuinely fit, fully workingThe problem. Booking software will happily put two jobs forty minutes apart on opposite sides of town, because it treats a calendar as boxes to fill rather than a day someone has to physically drive. The customer discovers the mistake before you do.
What it does. Pick a job and only the slots that can genuinely take it light up, checked against who holds the right ticket, who is already committed, whether the work fits before end of day, and how long the drive from their previous stop takes. Travel is written into the calendar as real occupied time, so the next booking accounts for it too.
Custom command centers
One screen that answers "how are we doing?"
Every operation asks different questions. A dispatcher needs to know who is free and what is late. A practice owner needs chair utilisation and tomorrow's gaps. A kitchen needs food cost and what is about to run out. Generic dashboard software gives all three the same twelve charts and lets them work it out.
These are built around the handful of numbers that actually change a decision, pulling from the systems above plus whatever you already run on.
Personal Command Center
The smallest version of this idea, packaged and sold. A single-file CRM, task system and cash tracker for one person getting a business off the ground. Its own site, its own live demo, its own checkout.
- $100 template
- $300 done for you
- 1 file no accounts, no subscription
Proof this is a real practice rather than a portfolio exercise. If you are running crews or a practice, the custom versions above are the right shape.
Open the Command Center ↗What's the thing that keeps going wrong?
Dropped jobs, stockouts, quotes that die quietly, whichever one is costing you most, that's where we start. Tell me what your day looks like and I'll tell you what I'd build first, and what I wouldn't bother building at all.
