Custom apps

Software built around how your business runs.

When spreadsheets, sticky notes and off-the-shelf tools stop fitting, we build an app for your office and staff. Then we host it, secure it and keep it running, so you never have to think about servers.

From $500/mo. Includes everything in Premium, your website too.

A website and an app are different projects

Your website tells customers who you are. A custom app is the tool your team uses every day to get the work done. It's its own project, with its own planning and its own build, so we treat it that way from the first conversation.

  • Built for your workflow

    We start with how work moves through your business today, then build the tool around it. You don't reshape your business to fit software.

  • Your whole team, the right access

    Owners, office staff and crew each get their own sign-in and see only what their job needs.

  • Looked after, month to month

    Hosting, security, backups, fixes and small improvements are part of the monthly price, not a surprise invoice.

What we can build

A few examples of the kind of software small businesses run on. Yours will be shaped around what you actually do.

  • Customer and job tracking

    Every customer, job, note and follow-up in one place instead of across texts, notebooks and spreadsheets.

  • Scheduling and dispatch

    Who's working where and when, visible to the office and the crew on their phones.

  • Customer portals

    A private place for your customers to sign in, check status, share files or make requests.

  • Quotes, orders and intake

    Turn phone calls and paper forms into requests that land in one queue and never get lost.

  • Inventory and checklists

    Stock counts, opening and closing checklists, maintenance logs, all kept current by the people doing the work.

  • Reports and dashboards

    The numbers you care about each week, without copying them into a spreadsheet by hand.

We run our own business on one

Solunea runs on a custom app we built ourselves: our customer records, follow-ups and sales pipeline all live in it. It's built on the same foundation we use for yours.

  • Secure sign-in with a passkey, or a password plus an authenticator app
  • Each person sees and changes only what their role allows
  • A log of who changed what, and when
  • Nightly backups
  • Works on phones, tablets and office computers

How a custom app project works

  1. Discovery

    We meet with you and the people who'll use it, and map how the work happens today.

  2. Plan and quote

    A written plan of what the app will do and what it will cost, before any building starts.

  3. Build in stages

    You try each piece as it's ready, so the app grows from your feedback, not a guess.

  4. Launch and training

    We move your information in, get everyone signed in, and show your team how it works.

  5. Ongoing care

    Hosting, security, backups, fixes and small improvements, month after month.

Questions

How much does a custom app cost?

Plans start at $500 a month, which also covers everything in Premium, including your website. The final price depends on what the app needs to do. You'll get it in writing after discovery, before any work starts.

Do I still get a website?

Yes. The Custom App plan includes everything in Premium: your website, unlimited updates to menus, specials, rooms and hours, one online ordering, booking or quote integration, and priority updates.

Can it work with the tools I already use?

Often, yes. During discovery we look at what you use today and tell you plainly what can connect and what can't.

Will my staff be able to use it?

That's the point of building it around your workflow. We test it with the people who'll use it as it's built, and we train your team at launch.

Have a process that needs its own app?

Call or text and tell us how things work today. We'll tell you honestly whether an app would help.
