When the Spreadsheet Stops Working: Signs a Jackson County Shop Needs Software

The tells we hear on the Coast

Jackson County work — fabrication, service, clinics, networks — runs on people who have been there a long time. That is a strength until the knowledge lives in one workbook.

• The same numbers get typed in twice.
• One person knows the spreadsheet. If they are out, the week stops.
• Customers call to ask where things stand because nothing they can see is current.
• The tools do not talk to each other.
• You have a mobile idea nobody will quote without a novel.

What we actually build

Portals. Job status. Intake. Multi-location tools. Native iOS and Android when a phone in the yard is the real computer. We built Ekkle and still run it. We built the 242 Network Hub for a statewide Mississippi church-planting network. International Welding & Fabrication and K&R are on the case studies page because the work was the operation, not the brochure.

Builds typically start at $10,000. That number is honest. If it is more, the sprint says so before you approve a line of code.

The Scoping Sprint

Two weeks of looking at how the week actually runs. Then a written proposal: what to build, what not to build, and what it costs. The $2,500 is credited if you proceed.

If the answer is 'buy a website and fix Google,' we will say that. We sell those too.
