Custom software for small businesses

A custom tool is an app built around the way your business works, instead of paying for generic software full of features you never use. It makes sense when you arrange bookings chat by chat, when every quote starts from scratch or when the price list goes out of date as soon as something changes.

We build simple web apps that work on a computer and on a phone. We build them as PWAs: they install on the phone like an app, without app stores and without anyone having to update anything.

We work with shops, restaurants, practices and professionals in Argentina's Patagonia. For example, Giardino asked us for a simple QR menu, and from there we developed Qrunch, our own food service app with table ordering, waiter and kitchen screens, and metrics.

We always start with a small tool that solves the most urgent problem, so you use it from the first month. Then we add what you need: WhatsApp reminders, payments, electronic invoicing or a dashboard with the month's numbers.

When your own tool makes sense

  1. Everything over WhatsApp

    Bookings, orders and enquiries are handled chat by chat and something always slips.

  2. Hours on repetitive tasks

    Building quotes, updating prices or moving data around eats up your time.

  3. Spreadsheets nobody understands

    Everyone enters data their own way and you never know which figure is right.

Who it's for

  • Shops that need a catalog, price list or online orders that are easy to update.
  • Bars and restaurants that want a digital menu and table ordering.
  • Practices and professionals that need bookings, reminders and client records.
  • Small businesses that rely on spreadsheets and want to see their numbers without building them by hand.

Aviation maintenance data, reviewed change by change.

Strato Technologies dashboard showing pending records, review status and trend per data load

Challenge

Every periodic data load brought hundreds of changes to maintenance engineering orders that had to be reviewed one by one. Doing it in spreadsheets made it unclear what had been reviewed, who approved it and when.

Solution

  • Upload of the periodic CSV or Excel export; Excel files are converted automatically and the app always works on the latest file.
  • Each change shows its previous and new value, and is approved, rejected or marked as corrected.
  • Per-record audit history: which action, who and when.
  • Dashboard with pending records, review status and the trend for each load.
  • Table and list views with search and filters by priority, type and field.
  • Users with admin or reviewer roles.
