What we do

Three ways we help, end to end

Software we design and build, advice when you need a technical partner, and automation for the work that shouldn't need a person. Open one to see how it works.

Custom Software Web apps, dashboards, internal tools, and SaaS — built around your business, not a template.

The problem. Growing businesses outgrow spreadsheets, off-the-shelf tools, and copy-paste. The software you actually need doesn't exist yet — or it exists as five disconnected apps nobody wants to open.

What we build. Custom software built end-to-end around how your team really works — the web app, the internal dashboard, the customer-facing product, the API that ties it all together. Designed, built, tested, and shipped to production.

  • Web and mobile-friendly apps, customer portals, and SaaS products
  • Internal dashboards and tools that replace the spreadsheet sprawl
  • APIs and integrations that connect the systems you already run
  • Built on a modern, maintainable stack — not a no-code dead end
  • Shipped to production and yours to own, code and all

Outcome The software you always wished you had — live, working, and built to last.

AI Automation & Agents The repetitive, judgement-heavy work handled automatically — your tools talking to each other, no copy-paste.

The problem. Every business has work that eats hours and won't scale — moving data between tools, replying to the same enquiries, chasing follow-ups, reformatting the same report. It's slow, repetitive, and error-prone.

What we build. Automation and custom AI agents wired into the tools you already use. When something happens in one app, the right thing happens everywhere else — and for the judgement-heavy work, an agent reads the context, decides within your rules, and acts, escalating to a person when it should.

  • Connects your existing stack — CRM, email, Sheets, Slack, payments, calendar
  • Custom AI agents that handle multi-step work, not just a chatbot
  • Triggers follow-ups, invoices, replies, and reports on the right events
  • Built with guardrails so bad data never slips through
  • Knows its limits — hands off to a human the moment it should

Outcome The work that used to eat someone's day quietly runs itself — reliably.

Technical Consulting A senior engineer in your corner — architecture, tool choices, AI adoption, and a second pair of eyes.

The problem. Sometimes you don't need a build — you need a straight answer. Which stack, which tools, whether AI even fits, why the codebase you inherited keeps breaking, and what to do before it gets worse.

What we do. We work as your technical partner: review the system, weigh the trade-offs, and give you a clear, written recommendation you can act on — no vendor bias, no upsell to a build you don't need.

  • Software architecture and system-design review
  • Tool and stack selection that fits your budget and team
  • AI adoption strategy — where it helps, where it doesn't
  • Code and codebase review with prioritized fixes
  • A written report with clear, honest recommendations

Outcome The right call, made once — instead of an expensive mistake you unwind later.

Products we designed and built

Software we designed and built end-to-end. Open one for details.

ZappEvents Built by funDesk A full event ticketing platform — with its own AI marketing engine. www.zappevents.com

What it does. A complete event ticketing product — organisers create events, sell tickets, and get paid at a flat $0.39 per ticket, not the 5%+ big platforms charge.

The problem it solves. Organisers were bleeding thousands to percentage fees and juggling separate tools for ticketing and marketing. ZappEvents replaces both — one flat-fee platform that markets itself.

Highlights

$0.39flat fee per ticket — no percentages, no surprises
Fullcheckout, payouts & organiser dashboard
AIsocial engine: writes hooks, generates on-brand images, and posts to Facebook, Instagram & TikTok daily
Autolead generation running quietly behind the scenes

The build. We designed and built it end-to-end — product, payments, and the marketing automation behind it. The social pipeline alone makes 70 content variations on rotation and posts to three channels with one click.

LocalNinja Built by funDesk Manage and grow your Google Business Profile, the simple way. www.localninja.io

What it does. LocalNinja gives a local business one simple place to manage and grow its Google Business Profile — the listing that decides whether they show up when someone nearby searches. It scores your whole local presence, shows exactly what to fix, and keeps you on the right side of Google.

The problem it solves. For a local shop, the Google Business Profile is the storefront — but it's scattered and easy to get wrong. Owners don't know why they aren't ranking, which reviews still need a reply, or that one careless edit can get the whole listing suspended. LocalNinja turns all of it into a single score and a short to-do list.

Highlights

Scoreone Presence Score across profile, reviews, local ranking, AI visibility & website
Audita full health check with prioritized fixes and a downloadable PDF report
Reviewsmanage reviews, replies, posts and photos from one dashboard
Riska suspension-risk check against the 11 triggers Google flags most

The build. We designed and built LocalNinja end-to-end — Google Business Profile sync, the presence-scoring engine, ranking and review tracking, suspension-risk auditing, and PDF reports — a product local businesses use to run their listings.

Suspension-risk audit — 11 checks against the triggers Google flags most
LocalNinja suspension-risk audit screen — Low Risk score with 11 checks passed and no suspension risks detected
OrderSheet Product we built Order management SaaS for small businesses.

What it does. OrderSheet gives a small business one clean link to collect orders — and a simple, spreadsheet-style dashboard to track every one of them, from new to done. Customers place an order through a 30-second public form: no app, no login, no friction.

The problem it solves. Bakers, makers, and small shops were losing orders in their Instagram DMs, WhatsApp threads, and scattered notes. OrderSheet replaces that chaos with one shareable link and a dashboard that works the way they already think — like a spreadsheet.

Highlights

Linkone shareable order link — customers fill a 30-second form, no app or login
Boardevery order in a clean table; one tap moves it New → In Progress → Done
Exportdownload a CSV that opens straight in Google Sheets or Excel — their data stays theirs
$9/mofree up to 10 orders a month, Pro for unlimited — billed through Stripe

The build. We designed and built OrderSheet end-to-end — the public ordering flow, the owner dashboard, instant new-order alerts, and Stripe-powered Free and Pro plans — on a modern React, tRPC, and MySQL stack.
