See the tool before anyone builds it.
You know you need a better quote tool, project tracker, or client portal. You just can’t picture it, price it, or explain it to a developer yet. We map your workflow and build a clickable mock-up of exactly what’s possible, plus a blueprint you can take to any developer or software company to build.
You don’t have to hire us to build it. If you do, your mock-up fee is credited toward the build.
Start with a 10-minute intake. Most mock-ups come in under $3,000 depending on complexity, and some simpler tools come in under $2,000. You get a quote before any work begins.
Why so many software projects start in the wrong place.
You know what's broken, not what “fixed” looks like.
The quoting spreadsheet, the job tracker held together with email, the status meeting that exists because nobody can see the work. You know it needs a real tool. You just can't picture it yet.
Developer quotes are all over the map.
Three vendors, three prices, and three different ideas of what you asked for. Without a clear picture, nobody is quoting the same thing.
Off-the-shelf software almost fits.
You've sat through the demos. Each one covers most of what you need and makes your team work around the rest.
Finding out late is the expensive way.
Changing software after it's built costs far more than changing a picture of it. A mock-up lets you make those changes in a meeting instead of a change order.
Everything you need to see it, price it, and get it built.
Every deliverable is yours to keep and yours to take anywhere.
- 01
A map of how the work really flows
We walk through the workflow with the people who do it: every handoff, approval, spreadsheet, and system it touches, and where AI can take work off their plate.
- 02
A clickable mock-up
Real screens you can click through, like the quote builder, the project board, the dashboard, or the customer portal. Your team reacts to something real instead of a written description.
- 03
A build-ready blueprint
The screens, data, business rules, integrations, and what to build first, written clearly enough for any competent developer to price it accurately and build it.
- 04
Straight advice on how to build it
Whether to build it new, buy something close, or extend a system you already own, with the trade-offs laid out plainly.
Whatever you’re trying to streamline.
A few of the tools we see most often across the six industries we serve.
Quote and estimating tools
For manufacturers and contractors who answer RFQs and bids.
Project and job tracking
For construction and project-based teams running many jobs at once.
Client and merchant portals
For MSPs, POS companies, and payments teams whose customers want answers without calling.
Operations dashboards
One view of the numbers that live in five spreadsheets today.
Intake, onboarding, and approvals
The forms, handoffs, and sign-offs that slow down every new job or account.
AI assistants inside your own tools
Shown exactly where they fit in the workflow, so they get built in from the start.
The cheapest time to change software is before it exists.
Every change after the build is a change order. A mock-up moves those changes into a meeting, gives every developer the same picture to quote, and lets your team say “yes, that’s it” before a dollar goes into building.
Three steps. You decide who builds it.
Tell us what you want to streamline
A 10-minute intake about the workflow, the people in it, and the tools it touches. We scope the work and quote it before anything starts.
We map it and mock it up
We work through the workflow with you and your team, then build the clickable mock-up and the blueprint.
Take it anywhere
Hand it to your own developer, a software company, or us. No lock-in, and no obligation to have us build it.
We build real software, so our mock-ups are buildable.
We design and build working systems for a living, including platforms we built and still run ourselves. Pair that with Mike’s decades in construction and project management and you get mock-ups grounded in how work actually gets done and what a developer can actually deliver, not screens that only look good in a slide deck.
Read Mike’s storyWhat people ask before they start.
- Do we have to hire you to build it?
- No. The mock-up and blueprint are yours to take to any developer or software company. Having us build it is an option, never a requirement. If you hire us to build it, your mock-up fee is credited toward the build.
- Is the mock-up real software?
- It's a clickable prototype with real screens and real flows, built to show what the tool will do and how it will feel to use. It isn't production software, which is exactly what makes it quick to change while you're still deciding.
- What does it cost?
- Most mock-ups come in under $3,000 depending on complexity, and some simpler tools come in under $2,000. We scope it after your intake and give you a quote before any work starts.
- Can the mock-up include AI features?
- Yes. Where AI can take work off your team, the mock-up shows exactly where it fits, so your developer builds it in from the start instead of bolting it on later.
- Should we do the Deep Dive first?
- If you already know the tool you need, start here. If you're not sure which tool would pay back first, start with the 2-Hour AI Deep Dive, which comes with our Payback Guarantee.
