Flandreau, South Dakota · Custom business tools

Get your shop off the spreadsheet mess

I build simple, custom tracking tools for small manufacturers, farms and trucking outfits. Orders, inventory, loads and records, all in one place your whole crew can use from a phone, tablet or office computer.

My work

Real tools, in use every day

These are working screens from three systems I built. Tap around them. Names, numbers and places are changed to keep my customers' and drivers' information private.

Manufacturing · Client project

Build & ship tracker for Lakestate Mfg

Lakestate Mfg builds brackets and tank systems for liquid applications on tractors. Their orders, parts and shipments lived in one big Excel file. I replaced it with a custom app the whole team opens in a browser.

Every order at a glanceA dashboard shows what's ordered, building, ready and shipped, plus what's low or out of stock.
Built around their shopOrders track each step from ordered to shipped, with billing, urgent and custom-build filters.
Grows with the businessShipping, pickups and a Shipped tab were added as they asked. QR-code parts inventory scanning is a possible expansion.

Sample data. Customer names and order details are made up.

Trucking · Built for my own trucks

IFTA mileage & fuel log

IFTA paperwork used to mean digging through notes every quarter. Now drivers log each trip and fuel stop from a phone, and the quarterly report adds itself up.

Two taps per tripStart a trip, tap when you cross a state line, finish the trip. Miles per state are split for you.
GPS trackingA feature I'm testing now. So far it's working great, and it will log state miles without entering anything at state lines.
Report ready to fileMiles and gallons by state for the quarter, one truck or the whole fleet.

Trucking · Milk hauling, about 20 drivers

Load schedule for drivers

The dispatcher keeps building the schedule in Google Sheets like always. Drivers open a simple phone app that shows their loads, everyone's loads, and where to enter times, pounds and miles.

No more group textsEach driver sees their loads for today and tomorrow, sorted by ready time, farm or driver.
Status everyone can seeScheduled and loaded show up in color, so the whole crew knows where things stand.
Feeds billingTimes, pounds and miles go straight back into the spreadsheet used for billing.

About

A South Dakota owner-operator who builds software

I run my own trucking business, and I started building tools to handle my own loads, billing and IFTA paperwork. Other businesses noticed, and now I build custom systems for manufacturers, farms and trucking outfits around the area.

I'm not a big software company. You'll work directly with me, and I'll build something that fits the way you already work.
