A building-supply store

the switch

What moves across.

Your data comes with you, and the card terminal works at the till as part of each sale. We plan the switch-over with you for a time that suits the store.

  • Products and prices
  • Customers and their accounts
  • Stock counts
  • Sales history

    Thirty minutes with the founder on the work, the people and the systems involved.

  2. 02

    A fixed quote within a week

    A written scope, one price and a launch date. Yours to keep, whatever you decide.

  3. 03

    The build, in milestones

    Working software every week. You pay as agreed milestones land, never a lump sum up front.

What protects you

  • Milestone billingYou pay as agreed milestones land in working software, not a lump sum up front.
  • Your repo from day oneThe code lives in your own repository from the first commit. You can read every line, every week.
  • Priced before it's builtThe quote is fixed. A change is priced before it is built, never after.
  • Handover docsArchitecture, runbooks and an admin guide, so your team or anyone else can run it.

A good fit

  • Your business is past spreadsheets and plug-ins
  • A tool that breaks costs you more than building it right
  • You want to own the software you pay for

Not a fit

  • A logo, a brochure site or a quick prototype
  • Equity-only or revenue-share deals

questions

Before you book.

We use a rented POS today. How does switching work?

We move your products, customers, stock and sales history across, and plan the switch-over with you for a time that suits the store. Your team checks the new system on real data before the counter moves to it.

What about card terminals and hardware?

The card terminal works at the till as part of each sale. Barcode scanners and label printers are ordinary hardware, and we tell you exactly what to buy.

How do the counter staff learn it?

It is built around how your counter already works, so there is little to learn. We train the team on the real system before the switch.

What happens after launch?

We stay on call through the first weeks of real trading. After that you can keep us on a monthly retainer to run and extend it, or take it in-house.

What does it cost?

Every project gets a fixed quote within a week of the first call, based on a written scope. You pay in milestones as working software lands.
