Custom Business Applications & Integrations

When spreadsheets, paper, and retyping start slowing your team down, a custom tool can take that work off their plate. BIT builds web applications around your actual workflow, one useful piece at a time.

How it works

We start with the job that costs the most time, like taking orders, scheduling deliveries, tracking customers, or closing out the day. Once that works, we add the next piece.

The tools run in a web browser on the devices you already have, connect to services you already use, and can bring your old records along.

What BIT can help with

Your project includes only the pieces you need.

  • Orders, invoicing, and scheduling

    Order entry that creates the invoice and puts the job on a shared calendar.

  • Customer records

    Contact details, job sites, order history, and account balances in one place.

  • Point of sale

    A counter register connected to your card readers, with receipts and end-of-day closeout.

  • Inventory and reports

    Stock counts, receiving, and the reports you check every week.

  • Integrations

    Connections to payment devices, maps and distance pricing, email, and other services you use.

  • Data migration

    Bringing records forward from an old system, checked against the original.

Questions

About business applications.

How do we figure out what to build?

We start by walking through how the work happens today and where time is lost. Then we agree on one first piece with a clear scope and build from there.

Will it work with what we already use?

Usually. Many services offer ways for software to connect to them. If one doesn’t, we’ll look at imports, exports, or other options before replacing anything.

Can staff use it on phones and tablets?

Yes. The tools run in a web browser, so they work on the computers, tablets, and phones you already have.
