Custom software for niche markets

We build the software you couldn't find.

You've got a problem no off-the-shelf tool solves. That's exactly what we dive into — specialized industries, weird workflows, the businesses big software forgets.

We like the problems nobody else wants to touch.

We saw people struggling in specialized industries — so we started building the tools they actually needed. Niche-first: we build for the overlooked. End-to-end: database to interface, we design and build the whole thing — C#, SQL, JavaScript, whatever the job needs. Actually designed: a professional graphic designer on the team means the software looks as good as it works.

Three steps, no mystery.

Talk — we dig into the problem, the workflow, the weird edge cases. Build — we design and build it end to end, showing you real progress the whole way. Launch — we ship it, support it, and stick around as your business grows into it.

Real products, built for real businesses.

How we started

A brother and sister who kept noticing the same thing: talented people in specialized industries, stuck with software that didn't fit — or no software at all. Jacob Lindegren (Co-founder & Lead Engineer) came from a decade of enterprise development — C#, SQL, JavaScript, HTML. Erin Heimbrock (Co-founder & Design) came from graphic design and years in the funeral and memorialization industry. So they started building the tools those businesses actually needed, and never stopped.
