Custom app, plus the developer who maintains it.
$250 to $500/month, ready in 4 to 6 weeks.

Maybe it's a spreadsheet with 14 tabs. An Access database from 2008. A custom web app from 2014 nobody can maintain. Or a SaaS tool you bend your business around. Whatever your fragile thing is, we build the replacement and stay on as the developer who maintains it.

Sound familiar?

Different shapes of the same problem. Pick whichever sounds like yours.

Your spreadsheet has 14 tabs

It started simple. Now only one person fully understands it, and two people can't edit at the same time without something getting lost.

Your Access database is from 2008

It still works. The PC running it is from 2015. The person who built it isn't around anymore. Every year you wait, the migration gets harder.

Your web app is from 2014

Built by a freelancer who's gone. The framework is end-of-life. You're afraid to touch it because nobody knows what'll break.

Customers order through DMs

Instagram, text, phone, email. Your team copies orders into a spreadsheet, then into shipping, then into accounting. Things slip.

You're paying for a SaaS that almost-fits

It does 80% of what you need. The other 20% lives in a side spreadsheet the SaaS doesn't know about. You pay for two tools and get one workflow.

You need a developer but can't hire one

$80K to $150K a year fully loaded. You can't justify it. Freelancers deliver and disappear. Agencies want a $30K project minimum.

Six businesses, six broken tools, six replacements.

Spreadsheets, an Access database from 2008, multi-spreadsheet billing, a missing storefront, a three-sided workflow nobody made software for. Here's what we built.

EZ Electronics inventory management dashboard
EZ Electronics: wholesale ordering automation
Before: Customers placed orders through Instagram DMs, texts, and phone calls. Team translated those into spreadsheets and back into shipping and QuickBooks. 15+ hours a week of duct tape.
Solution: Custom store that pulls inventory from their existing system, lets customers place orders directly, and pushes invoices to QuickBooks automatically.
Result: 15+ hours a week back. Stopped losing orders.

NJ PIP Assist case management system
NJ PIP Assist: medical billing for niche insurance
Before: Multi-spreadsheet billing for NJ Personal Injury Protection claims. Off-the-shelf billing tools don't cover PIP rules correctly, so they paid for two SaaS tools that almost-fit.
Solution: Unified billing system that knows the PIP rules and tracks claims end-to-end.
Result: One system that fits, replacing two SaaS tools that almost-fit.
Advanced Training Products assessment tool
ATP: compliance app, then the website too AI-Powered
Before: Content team produced compliance training material from large PDFs by hand, page by page.
Solution: AI-powered tool that ingests their compliance PDFs and generates first-draft training content. Two years later, ATP asked us to rebuild their public website too. We did, and it runs on the same monthly subscription with built-in SEO tooling and AI-generated web content from the same source PDFs.
Result: One subscription now covers their internal compliance app, their public website, and the AI tooling that feeds both.
City Stems bespoke florals website
City Stems: storefront, Instagram, text orders
Before: Customers found this design-forward Charlotte florist on Instagram and wanted to text the owner to order. Every visitor who didn't already know the owner walked away.
Solution: Storefront with the same designer feel as their Instagram, integrated with text-message ordering for repeat customers.
Result: Stopped losing every Instagram visitor who didn't already know the owner.

TAG Auto Group

Multi-location auto body group

TAG Auto Group: Access database to searchable web app
Before: Eight years of past estimates across multiple body-shop locations locked in an aging Microsoft Access database. Looking up a customer's prior estimate took 30 minutes of digging through shared files.
Solution: Migrated the data into a searchable web app on a modern stack. Current AI tooling makes this kind of legacy refactor significantly less expensive than it was even a year ago.
Result: Lookup is now 10 seconds. The Access database can finally retire.
See how legacy modernization works

PCP4Me

Small-business health benefit

PCP4Me: a three-sided point-of-care workflow
Before: A hybrid health benefit (covers what insurance doesn't) needed three sides talking: employer registers employees, employees carry coverage, hospitals verify eligibility at point-of-care. No off-the-shelf product fits this.
Solution: Built the three-sided workflow as a single app: employees carry a QR code, hospitals scan or search to verify eligibility on the spot.
Result: All three roles in one app. No SaaS integration needed.

What's your fragile thing?

If your situation isn't on this list, that's normal. The Audit Call is 30 minutes; you'll know whether we can build the replacement before you decide anything.

Common Questions

Honest answers to the objections we hear most.

A freelancer delivers something and disappears. We're the developer who's there next month when the API changes, when authentication breaks, when you want a new feature. The relationship is the product. You pay one monthly subscription, we build, host, monitor, and maintain. When something breaks, you call one phone number.

An in-house developer is $80,000 to $150,000 a year fully loaded, plus recruiting, benefits, and management overhead. We're $3,000 to $6,000 a year. That math works for most small businesses under $5M revenue. When you grow past us, hire in-house. At that point you'll know exactly what you need them to do.

We pick a small number of clients and we own the stack we build on (.NET, Azure, our own Hurrah.Core framework). The economics work because we're not reselling someone else's platform and we're not staffing a 12-person agency. The first version typically ships in 4 to 6 weeks. You'll see screens within the first two.

First version typically ships in 4 to 6 weeks. You'll see screens within the first two. Every iteration after that is incremental. Small changes are included in the subscription, so the app keeps adapting as your business does.

Yes. Your application code, data, and assets are yours. Your app is built on the Hurrah.Core framework (the foundation layer). You have perpetual access to that framework and all future updates at no additional cost. If you decide to take your code elsewhere, any .NET developer can pick it up. Your business logic and data remain completely yours with no restrictions.

The code is yours, in your repository or your Azure account if you want it there. It's standard .NET and SQL Server. Any developer can pick it up. The framework is documented. We've planned for this.

That's the beauty of the subscription. We build what you need now, then adapt as your business evolves. Small monthly changes are included. Need a new field, a new report, a new integration? We add it. Major new features get scoped separately so we can both plan them. Your subscription covers maintenance and incremental improvements, not just the initial build.

Yes. We host websites alongside custom apps on the same subscription, with the same monitoring, security updates, and developer-on-call. ATP added their public website to their custom-app subscription after two years on us. We also wire in SEO tooling and AI-driven content generation when it fits.

If your business fits a template, those work. Most small businesses we meet are doing something specific enough that the template needs to bend, and bending the template costs more than building the right thing. No-code is great for prototyping. It's a tougher fit for the production version that has to run for years.

Mike is an outstanding developer. Technically, he is highly proficient both in his area of expertise and in providing CTO-level consulting and advice. He is a problem-solver. Where there were technical challenges, he was able to find a development solution and implement. Mike also is responsive. He is consistently prompt and detailed-oriented in asking or answering questions. Mike also is honest both in his technical capabilities and billing. He didn't over sell me. If there was a task or solution that required a different technology or expertise, he told me and presented me with the solution. I also appreciated his sensitivity to, and honesty in, billing.

Mike was incredibly helpful in developing a software solution that is clean, efficient and effective. In our discovery phase he suggested alternatives to the original build sheet that were insightful and which simplified the process. His approach is very practical; he's easy to work with and keeps the end state in focus throughout the build. I would highly recommend Mike.
