Layer 02 · Business tools & apps

Tools and apps shaped around your business.

Off-the-shelf software rarely fits how a small business actually works. We build focused web and mobile apps around your process — simple enough that the whole team uses them.

Why custom

Software that fits, instead of software you work around.

Your whole team on one page

Jobs, customers and status in one place — not spread across inboxes and spreadsheets.

See the business at a glance

A dashboard that shows what's new, what's stuck and what's overdue each morning.

Secure and yours

Proper logins and permissions, your data stored safely, with exports so you're never locked in.

Grows with you

Start with one job to be done. Add customer portals, apps and automations later.

What's included

Built properly, explained simply.

A good fit if…

  • Key information lives in spreadsheets, inboxes or one person’s head
  • You pay for several apps that don’t quite fit
  • Customers keep asking for updates you have to chase manually

What you get

  • Process mapping before anything is built
  • Secure web app that works on desktop, tablet and phone
  • Native-feeling iOS and Android apps from one codebase — faster and more affordable to build
  • User accounts and permissions for your team or customers
  • Data stored safely, with exports so you’re never locked in
  • Training and plain-English documentation

Typical builds

  • Quote and job tracker
  • Customer portal with status updates
