What we do
From ideas to impact, across the whole stack.
One accountable architect, from strategy through code. We design it, build it, and leave it documented so your team can run it.
AI enhancements
A clear path to AI, from your first use case to production: support chatbots, document and process automation, forecasting, dynamic pricing and personalized recommendations.
Data & integrations
Event-driven pipelines, change data capture and replication that keep your systems in sync, with zero dropped transactions.
Cloud architecture & modernization
Move legacy .NET and SQL Server systems to Azure or AWS on a plan priced over its whole life, not just the migration.
Commerce & marketplace platforms
Multi-tenant, multi-site platforms for eCommerce, inventory & supply chain, order processing, CRM and reporting, wired into Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Shopify and the major carriers.
Architecture & advisory
System design reviews, scalability and performance work, and due-diligence support that executives, auditors and counsel can rely on.
Industries
Built for the problem, not the industry.
Whatever the sector, the work starts the same way: understand the process, then build what fits. A sample of where that has paid off.
Retail & commerce
A platform behind client growth to $100M+ in annual revenue, and Shopify pipelines with zero dropped transactions.
Manufacturing & logistics
A warehouse system that supported a $1B acquisition, and logistics systems at 99.99% uptime.
Healthcare & social services
Software for long-term care facilities, a non-profit supporting people with neurological injuries, and behavioral data for children with Autism.
Public sector
A county jail commissary solution integrated with the Spillman Jail Management System.
Education & training
Survey and real-time reporting tools for diversity, equity and inclusion training.
Benefits & financial services
Configurable employee benefit systems integrated with WEX and Datapath.
AI solutions
AI that earns its keep, built on data you can trust.
Whether it's your first step or your next one, we pick the use cases that move revenue and cost, fix the data foundation under them, and measure results from day one. Most AI projects stall on messy, disconnected data.
