Business Automation, Custom CRM & ERP Systems

Manual data re-entry, disconnected spreadsheets, and missed customer follow-ups drain hours from your team every week. I build custom operational software, CRM databases, and automated workflows engineered directly around how your business works — without bloated monthly per-seat subscription fees.

Core Focus: Custom CRM, ERP & Workflow Automations · Integrations: APIs, Webhooks, WhatsApp, Stripe, Google Workspace · Data: Full Database Ownership

Who Needs Custom Business Systems

Teams Drowning in Spreadsheets: Companies managing active customer leads, order fulfillment, or recurring service bookings across multiple Google Sheets where files get overwritten, outdated, or duplicated.
Service & Booking Companies: Contractors, agencies, and service providers who need immediate lead notifications, automated quoting, and customer status updates without manual copy-pasting.
Escaping Per-Seat SaaS Pricing: Businesses looking to avoid paying $50 to $150 per user each month to SaaS providers for clunky software that only uses 10% of its bloated feature set.
Connected Operations & Reporting: Founders and operational managers needing a single, reliable screen that shows today's new inquiries, open jobs, revenue metrics, and team responsibilities.

What I Build: Specific Automation Deliverables

Inbound Lead Capture & Routing: Automatically capture inquiries from your website, WhatsApp, and email, validate contact data, assign them to team members, and send immediate acknowledgment.
Custom CRM & Customer History: A centralized customer registry tailored to your sales process — track conversation logs, quote history, order statuses, and custom client attributes.
Operations & Order Dashboards (ERP): Connected operational interfaces for managing orders, dispatching services, tracking job completion, and monitoring team workload without juggling spreadsheets.
Automated Invoicing & Payment Alerts: Generate quotations and invoices directly from customer records, connect payment gateways (Stripe, bank transfers), and automate polite payment reminders.
API Bridges & Tool Synchronization: Sync data across fragmented tools — connect Google Sheets, email servers, accounting software, and external supplier databases using secure webhooks.
Internal Operations AI Assistants: Practical automated assistants for document processing, draft email generation, meeting action item summaries, and quick customer support triage.

How We Build Your Business System

Workflow Mapping & Process Audit: We analyze every manual step your team takes: where inquiries arrive, how data moves between tools, and where bottlenecks cause delays.
System Design & Phased Scope: I design the data schema, API integrations, and user interfaces, prioritizing high-impact automations into a lean Phase 1 release.
Custom Build & Integration: Developing the secure backend, database models (PostgreSQL / MySQL), admin dashboards, and webhook listeners with strict data validation.
Failure Testing & Edge Cases: Every automation is tested against real-world failures: API timeouts, duplicate submissions, and disconnects.
Data Migration & Team Onboarding: We migrate your existing customer records or spreadsheet data into the new system and walk through operations with your staff.
Monitoring & Iteration: Ongoing health monitoring, automated error logging, and post-launch refinement.

What Information I Need to Begin

Current Workflow Walkthrough: Where customer requests come from (website, phone, email, WhatsApp) and how they currently move through your business.
Current Software & Tools: A list of platforms you currently use (e.g., Gmail, Stripe, Google Sheets, WhatsApp Business).
Your Primary Bottleneck: The single most repetitive task that costs your team the most time or where human errors frequently occur.
User Roles & Team Size: Who needs access (e.g., administrator, sales rep, technician) and what information each role should see.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why build a custom CRM or ERP instead of subscribing to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Zoho?

Commercial off-the-shelf platforms charge steep per-user monthly fees, forcing you to pay thousands annually as your team grows. A custom solution is built 100% around your exact operational steps, has zero per-seat licensing fees, and gives you complete ownership of your database.

Can you connect automations to tools we already use like WhatsApp, Gmail, or Stripe?

Yes. I integrate existing tools through their official APIs and webhooks. For example, a web form submission can instantly create a customer record in your database, trigger an internal WhatsApp notification to your dispatch team, and dispatch a confirmation email.

What happens if a third-party API goes down or changes?

Automations are engineered with robust error handling, automated retry queues, and administrative alerts. If an external service experiences downtime, the system logs the pending payload and alerts you rather than losing the transaction.

How is our business and customer data kept secure?

Security is built into the architecture: role-based access control (RBAC) ensures employees only see what they need, sensitive credentials are stored in encrypted environments, and data handling conforms to GDPR standards.

What is the difference between CRM and ERP in your builds?

CRM focuses on client-facing workflows: lead capture, sales pipelines, client contact records, and communication history. ERP focuses on internal operations: inventory, order processing, staff job assignment, and financial tracking.
