Your own software, without the software project
Stop running your business out of spreadsheets and inboxes.
We build you software that runs your process — working in weeks, from $250/mo, not a $15,000+ dev project.
Describe your process. We design a concept for it — interface and all.

Describe
How your process runs today, in a few sentences.

We design
The interface, the records and the automations around it.
- 03
Your concept
A mockup and feature list built from your answers.

30 minutes to scope it — hire us or not.

Submittal & RFI control room
Every submittal, RFI and change order in one aging log, so nothing sits in an inbox for eleven days.
Sample data shown — no client data is shared
The real system
Nothing looks broken. It's held together by memory.
You already know where the gaps are. That's exactly where a system pays for itself.
The spreadsheet
is the system
Your process lives in a file kept by hand.
The inbox
is the approval flow
Decisions sit in threads. Nobody knows what's waiting.
The same number
typed three times
Sheet, CRM, invoice. Every copy drifts.
The report
is rebuilt by hand
Simple questions cost someone an afternoon.
How it connects
Every source feeds one workflow.
Your tools stay where they are. We wire them to one record.
How work flows in
Tasks land in one system, no matter the source.
What you get
One system, built around your process.
Interfaces
The screens your team works in — your fields, stages and language.
Automations
Routing, reminders, checks and status updates that fire on their own.
Integrations
Your accounting, CRM, email and files wired to one record.
Collaboration environments
Notes, files and decisions attached to the record.
The system
All of it working as one around your process.
What changes
Built for teams that have outgrown generic tools.
Automate the repetitive work
Onboarding, invoice routing, quote intake, reminders.
Rules that route the item, reminders that fire on a clock, statuses that update themselves.
Consolidate scattered tools
One process split across five apps becomes one interface.
One record per job. One place your team works. One number everyone reads.
Expand what your team handles
Remove the manual load instead of hiring for it.
No re-keying between systems. No chasing. No end-of-month reconstruction.
Move faster
Approvals, quotes and status updates stop waiting on people.
Timestamped approvals, an aging clock on open items, a queue with a next action per row.
Example industries
If your business runs on a process, we can build for it.
Any industry, any team. These six are just examples of where we've seen the biggest spreadsheet-and-inbox pain — yours doesn't need to be on the list.

What we build for Manufacturing →How it works
From process audit to working system in weeks.
Audit
30 minutes. We map the manual touchpoints and hand you a scoped plan.
Build
Weekly increments. Something working inside two weeks.
Handover
Training, docs and monitoring. It runs without us.
Pricing
No more $15,000+ dev bills for a tool that should just work.
Traditional custom builds start at five figures and stretch across six months. We design the right system fast, quote a fixed build price, then run it for you under a simple monthly license.
Monthly license starts at
Hosting, updates, monitoring and support in one predictable line item. Add users, integrations and automations as you grow.
Regulated workloads (HIPAA, PCI, etc.) are quoted as a separate tier with a signed addendum.
Fixed build cost
No open-ended invoices. We quote the build after the audit and you know the number before work starts.
We own the IP, you use it
Aplo keeps the code and infrastructure; you license the system. That's how the upfront cost stays a fraction of traditional dev.
Your data is always yours
Export anytime. If you leave, we hand it over in a standard format.
Answer a few questions and we'll design a concept for your exact process — no call required.
Exact build price depends on scope. Your quote gives you a preliminary range; the audit confirms a fixed price.
Questions we get first.
How is this different from buying software?+
Bought software bends your process to its rules. We build to your process.
How fast do we see something working?+
A usable first version in two to three weeks, then weekly increments.
Do we own it?+
You own your data and hold a license to the system. Aplo owns the code, which keeps the upfront cost low. See our Terms.
We're not technical. Problem?+
No. We translate your process and train the people who use it.
Will it work with our current tools?+
Yes. If a tool has an API or exports data, we connect it.
What does it cost?+
A fixed upfront build, then a monthly license from $250. Final pricing depends on scope and add-ons, quoted after the audit.
Bring us the process you already want to fix.
In 30 minutes we'll map it, show what a custom system can remove, and hand you a scoped plan — hire us or not.
