For mid-sized businesses whose tools were never designed to talk to each other. Whose teams are spending hours every week moving information between systems by hand. Whose operations were built by someone who’s no longer at the company, and nobody else understands what they did or why.
The person who built or configured your system isn’t there anymore. They customized it over years to fit how the team worked. The customizations stayed. The reason for them didn’t.
The same number lives in three different systems. Somebody on your team copies it from one to the next every week, and the mistakes compound.
The data exists, but it’s spread across systems. Nobody can answer simple questions like “how much did we sell last month” or “which customers actually made us money” without a spreadsheet merge that takes a day.
You used to be known for delivering on time. Now you’re a week late, and the customers asking why are the ones you can’t afford to lose.
When the systems already exist, the right move usually isn’t a new ERP. It’s making the ones you have actually talk to each other. We’ll tell you when that’s true and when it isn’t.
“We used to be known for hitting our delivery dates. Since we changed ERPs a few years back, we’re now a week late on commitments to customers we can’t afford to lose.”

Most software firms sell custom because that’s how they get paid. We turn most prospects away because integration solves their problem at a fraction of the cost. For the integrations we run, four things change when you work with us.
Before we touch a system, we identify the one business outcome the integration should produce. Every connection we build aligns against it. The result is integration work that ships against a real goal, not a wish list.
A flat monthly rate gets you a senior US development team. Scale up or down as your needs shift. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no consultants who string out a project to bill more hours.
When an integration breaks or a question comes up, you reach a senior developer who knows your stack, in under sixty minutes*, during business hours. Not a ticket queue. Not a junior on rotation.
*In practice, the average is just a few minutes.
If, in the first sixty days, you decide we’re not the right partner, we refund your first month. As far as we know, no one else in this industry offers this. We do because we’ve never had to honor it.
From the first call to the moment your tools are finally talking to each other. Each step has a clear scope, a clear price, and a clear way out if it isn’t working.
A thirty-minute working call. We map out the systems you have, where the friction is, and what an integrated stack would look like. If the answer is something simpler than what you’re imagining, we’ll point you in that direction. You leave with a written integration roadmap either way.
A scoped, focused engagement to ship the highest-impact integration first. We pick the one connection where the friction is greatest, build it, and prove the approach. You own the integration code from day one. If at any point in the first sixty days you decide we’re not a fit, we refund your first month.
If you’re happy with the first integration, the engagement continues under the same monthly subscription. We build out the rest of the connections one at a time. Monitoring, error handling, and clear documentation are part of every integration we ship, so your team can maintain the work after we hand it over.
Each of these clients started with the same problem: the systems they ran on weren’t talking to each other. We connected what already existed instead of replacing it.
Their core operations ran on a Visual FoxPro database older than the developers maintaining it. We rebuilt the data layer on a modern stack and integrated it with their accounting, inventory, and ops tools, so the same number lives in one place instead of four. The legacy system is being retired feature by feature, with no operational downtime.
Read the full case study →Dr. Ian was running his clinic on a massive Excel sheet. We built a custom EMR for the team and a patient app for medication, weight, and inventory tracking, then integrated all three with the operational systems already in place. Other agencies quoted twelve months. We delivered the MVP in three.
“This would have taken other agencies double or triple the time.”
Integration keeps what’s already working and connects it. A rebuild replaces the system. For most companies, integration is dramatically cheaper, faster, and lower-risk. We start every engagement by asking whether integration alone solves the problem. Most of the time, it does.
Most weren’t. Modern integration usually relies on APIs, but plenty of older systems lack them. We work around that with middleware, data pipelines, or wrappers that expose the data without touching the original system. If a system is truly impossible to integrate, that’s a useful consultation on its own. Sometimes the right move is replacing that one piece, not the whole stack.
Yes. Most of our integration work happens alongside an internal IT team or an existing vendor. We’re explicitly the consultative third party, not a replacement. We document everything we do so your team can maintain it after we’re done.
Most integrations ship something usable in four to six weeks. A full integrated stack typically takes three to six months depending on the number of systems involved. We start with the integration that has the highest impact and ship that first, so you see value before the full project is done.
Integrations break when the systems on either end change. We design for that: every integration we ship includes monitoring, error handling, and clear logs. When something does break, you reach a senior developer who knows your stack, in under sixty minutes, during business hours.
Yes. You own everything we ship from day one. No license terms, no buybacks, no holding the codebase hostage. If you ever decide to bring the work in-house or change vendors, the code goes with you.
Middleware is a category of software that sits between systems and helps them talk. Integration is the work of connecting them, sometimes using middleware, sometimes using direct APIs, sometimes using custom code. We pick the approach that fits the situation, not the one that maximizes our billable hours.
A thirty-minute working session. We listen to what isn’t talking to what, ask the hard questions, and figure out where the friction is actually coming from.
If integration solves it, we’ll tell you. If you actually need a different system or a custom build, we’ll tell you that too, even if it’s not us.
A written integration roadmap. Includes which systems should talk to which, what to build versus what to buy, and the order of operations. Free to keep, whether or not we work together.
