Replace what you rent

Stop renting the software your business runs on.

The platform your industry runs on, the CRM, the document tool, the one your team complains about every week. We rebuild what you actually use, inside a system you own. One build, no renewal.

What renting looks like

  • TodayYour current seats
  • After two hiresSame software, bigger bill
  • Year threePrice rises, every year

Your own numbers, in about a minute, on the calculator.

What we replace

The tools that bill per seat.

Different names in every industry, the same six shapes. If your team uses a fraction of what one does, you are paying for the rest.

  • Your industry's platform

    Listings, jobs, loads, orders. The one everybody in your trade rents.

  • CRM and pipeline

    Your client list, held in someone else's database.

  • Documents and collateral

    Brochures, proposals and contracts, often billed per document.

  • Scheduling and dispatch

    Who is where, and when. Usually a seat per person.

  • Reporting add-ons

    Charged extra to tell you what your own data already says.

  • The one you are overpaying for

    Tell us what it does. We will tell you what it takes to own it.

For example

  • Buildout
  • LoopLink
  • Kojo
  • Procore-style tools
  • Yours

We have built the Buildout replacement already: a brokerage runs on it today. Kojo, Procore-style job tools, LoopLink and whatever your industry rents are the same shape, and the same build.

Ownership

Two ways to own it.

Both end with the software being yours. The difference is who runs it.

  • 01

    Own it outright

    We hand over the code, the database and the accounts. Nothing to renew.

    • Your repository
    • Your database
    • Your domain
  • 02

    Own it, we run it

    A monthly care plan for hosting, updates and small changes. Cancel any month and keep the software.

The switch

Nobody flips a switch on a Friday.

  1. Send your export

    We take your data out of the tool you rent: records, files, images, everything.

  2. See it before we build it

    A clickable design of your system, so you react to the real thing early.

  3. Run both for 30 days

    Your team works in the new system while the old subscription is still live. Nothing stops.

  4. Cancel the subscription

    You keep the software, the data and the people who know how it works.

If it does not replace what you use today, you do not pay.
