Stop typing it twice.
Purchase orders retyped into QuickBooks. Quotes rebuilt from notes. Forms copied from one screen to another. We build the small tools that do it for you, one job at a time.
Pay only if you keep it. Use your first automation for 30 days before you decide.
Purchase order 20417
Millstone Supply
Ordered 4 boxes of 50, entered as 200 each. Check the unit.
The promise
Pay only if you keep it.
It's in writing, before we start.
We write it down first
What the tool does, how we'll both know it works, and the fixed price. You sign off before we build.
You use it for 30 days
On your own accounts, with your real orders and paperwork. Not a demo.
Keep it, or don't
Keep it and pay the agreed price. If it didn't do what we wrote down, we turn it off and you owe nothing.
Why now
You can't hire your way out of the paperwork.

Four steps. You can stop after any of them.
- Step 1
Tell us the job
A few lines on what someone in your office types twice.
- Step 2
We come look
At your shop, at the real paperwork. Then we write down what we'd build and the price.
- Step 3
We build it
On your own accounts and the software you already use.
- Step 4
Use it for 30 days
Keep it and pay the agreed price, or we turn it off and you owe nothing.
Who you'll work with
A small shop in Lancaster County.
John does the building, and he comes to your shop to see the job. He has built internal apps, document pipelines, and self-hosted servers that run every day. We'd rather tell you to buy something off the shelf than build what you don't need.
More about usQuestions
What owners ask first.
What happens after I open a ticket?
A person reads it and writes back. We set a time to talk, or we tell you it isn't a fit. Either way you hear from someone. Nothing is built from a ticket alone, and nothing costs you anything yet.
How does pay only if you keep it work?
We write down what the first automation must do, and the price, before we start. We build it on your own accounts, and you use it for 30 days. If it misses what we wrote, we turn it off and you owe nothing. If you keep it, it keeps running even without us.
What does it cost?
We look at the job first, then fix the price in writing before we build. There are no dollar amounts on this site yet. If you want to know how a job would be priced, ask on your ticket and we'll answer in writing.
What isn't covered by the 30 days?
Shop servers, private assistants, and any hardware are quoted builds, and they are paid. They are not part of the trial. We'll tell you plainly which part of a job is which, in writing, before anything is bought or built.
