A custom app built around how your business runs.
Jacob Henning is a full stack developer with a business mind, building custom apps for small businesses that handle the work packaged software can’t.
Book Free ConsultationWhen does a small business need a custom app?
When packaged software makes the team work around it: the same details typed into three tools, a spreadsheet holding the schedule together, or a step no product handles. A custom app does that work the business’s way and connects to the payment, booking and accounting tools already in use. Jacob Henning plans each app around what it earns or saves.
Apps small businesses run on.
Each one does a job the team handles by hand today.
Scheduling and dispatch
Jobs, crews and trucks on one board, and each tech’s day on their phone, in place of the whiteboard and the group text.
Quotes and invoices
A quote built from your own prices in minutes, turned into an invoice when the job is done, in place of a spreadsheet template.
Customer portal
Customers check an order, sign a form or rebook on their own, in place of the back and forth by email.
Orders and inventory
Orders from the counter, the website and wholesale accounts in one list, with stock counted as it sells.
Owner’s dashboard
The numbers checked every morning, pulled from every tool onto one screen.
Planned around what it earns or saves.
Every feature is weighed against the hours it saves or the money it brings in, so the budget goes first to the parts that pay back soonest.
Book Free ConsultationThe costliest task first
The first version takes on the job that eats the most time, and goes to work before the rest is built.
One developer, front to back
Screens, server, database and connections, all built by one full stack developer who knows how every part fits.
Connected to your tools
Payments, bookings, accounting and email connect to the app, so nothing gets typed in twice.
Room to grow
New features join the same app as the business adds services, staff or locations.
Custom app or packaged software: which is right for a small business?
Packaged software is the better buy when it fits how the business works. It costs less to start, and someone else keeps it running.
A custom app makes sense when the team spends its day working around the software: copying data between tools, keeping a spreadsheet beside it or skipping a step it can’t handle. The test is the hours lost each week, set against what the app costs to build.
What does a full stack developer do?
A full stack developer builds every layer of an app: the screens people use, the server that runs the business rules, the database that keeps the records and the connections to outside tools like Stripe or QuickBooks.
With one developer across all of it, nothing gets lost between a design team and a server team, and every decision is made with the whole app in view.
