Custom software development for companies that have outgrown their systems

Web and mobile business software with AI integration, built around how your team already works

Still running the business on spreadsheets, or on an old MS Access, Visual FoxPro, or COBOL system nobody wants to touch? We've been building custom software for that problem since 1992, for small manufacturers and distributors and for companies like Johnson & Johnson, Dassault Aviation and Avis Car Rental.

We turn spreadsheets into web-based applications with user permissions and an audit trail, so your whole team works from the same data instead of emailing copies around.
Original developer long gone? We use AI to read the old code and pull out the business rules buried in it, so the new web version keeps the logic your company runs on.
We interview the people who do the work and write a requirements spec you sign off on. You see a working prototype early, and bugs are covered for 6 months after delivery.
We connect it to what you already run, like QuickBooks, your ERP or CRM, inventory, even plant-floor equipment.
With AI integration, anyone on your team can ask the system a question in plain English and get the answer without writing SQL. AI automation flags exceptions before someone has to go looking for them.
The contract manager we built for Avis Car Rental has run at 30 north NJ locations since December 2014. Our fund accounting system serves 250 NJ school districts.

For your custom software development, we use MS SQL 2019 as the back end for the best database performance.

When stock levels begin to trend low, the AI automation suggests the exact quantity to reorder and alerts purchasing.

We walked through key operational needs, including inventory control, formula management, labeling, raw material tracking, warehouse management, quoting, purchasing, and batch production.
