We have a fully staffed development team that builds internal software for businesses, including operations tools, accounting and finance tracking, databases, business intelligence, and websites. Tell us what your team handles by hand today and we will quote the cost to build software for it.
Request a quoteThe developers, designers, and data engineers on your project are Blue Brick staff, and we do not subcontract the work to outside agencies. The same team scopes your project, builds it, and handles changes after launch.
Most of our clients are operating companies whose software has not kept up with the business. Typical examples include a month-end close that takes a week because three spreadsheets are reconciled by hand, margin questions that require exporting four reports, and processes built for ten employees that no longer hold up at sixty.
Blue Brick Partners also operates and consults for businesses, so we scope projects from the operating side first. If an off-the-shelf product solves your problem for a fraction of the cost of a custom build, we will recommend it before you spend anything.
Most projects combine several of these. A finance tool usually needs a database behind it and reporting on top, and an internal tool needs to connect to the systems you already have.
We build software around how your company runs, including job and project tracking, scheduling, approvals, work orders, inventory, and internal admin screens. Most of these projects replace a process that currently runs on spreadsheets and email.
We build tools for invoicing, reconciliation, accounts payable and receivable tracking, commission and payroll calculations, and the monthly reports your bookkeeper or controller now builds by hand. These tools connect to and work alongside the accounting platform you already use.
We build budget versus actual tracking, cash flow reporting, project or property level profit and loss, and dashboards that pull data from each of your systems into one place. Reports can run on a schedule and go by email to the people who need them.
We move scattered spreadsheets and disconnected systems into a single database with user permissions, change history, and backups. This is usually the first step for a company that has outgrown shared files but is not ready to buy enterprise software.
We build marketing sites, client and customer portals, and web applications that carry your brand and connect to the tools behind them. They load fast, meet accessibility standards, and let your team make routine edits on its own.
We connect the systems you already own so each record is entered once. That includes API integrations, scheduled imports and exports, notifications, and automating the repetitive steps in a workflow.
Our team comes from product management, so each project starts with interviews. We talk to the people who will use the tool every day, the manager who owns the process, and the person paying for it. Those conversations show us where the documented process and the day-to-day work differ.
From those interviews we write a feature set with clear priorities and product goals with measurable targets, such as closing the month in two days instead of nine or eliminating duplicate data entry. We build against those targets and check the finished tool against them. A tool that meets every requirement and then goes unused is a failed project, and that is the most common way these builds go wrong.
Rollout usually asks the most of your team. Blue Brick Partners also consults on operations and personnel, so we can run the training, write the documentation, phase the cutover so daily work continues, and work with managers through the change. Some clients want this support and others only want the software delivered. Rollout work is scoped and priced separately.
Where the software is hosted depends on your data, your existing systems, and who maintains them. We can set up and manage either option.
We set up the environment and handle deployments, monitoring, backups, updates, and security patches. The hosting accounts are in your name and billed to you directly, so you can bring hosting in-house or move to another vendor whenever you choose.
When the software needs to run on your own hardware, GoMango Tech, the technology services arm of Blue Brick Partners, handles the servers, networking, and ongoing maintenance. Clients usually choose this when data has to stay on site or the tool needs to run next to an existing on-site system.
We sit with the people doing the work and map the current process, including the spreadsheets and workarounds. Most of the requirements come out of these sessions.
You get a written scope covering what we will build, what it connects to, and a fixed price. Anything we recommend leaving out of phase one is listed so you can make that call.
We build in stages and put working software in front of your team early, so you can review progress with your own data throughout the project.
We migrate the data, set up hosting, and hand over the code, documentation, and accounts. You own all of it when the project closes.
We can run training, write documentation, phase the cutover, and work directly with the managers whose teams are changing how they operate. This work is optional and scoped separately.
Most clients keep a monthly agreement for monitoring, fixes, and continued development as the business changes. If you prefer to run it in-house, we train your team to take it over.
Pricing depends on how many workflows the tool covers and how many systems it connects to, so we quote each project after a scoping conversation.
Answers on cost, timelines, ownership, and connecting to the systems you already use.
We build operations tools for work a business currently does by hand, accounting and finance tools such as invoicing, reconciliation, and commission calculation, finance tracking with budget versus actual reporting, databases that replace scattered spreadsheets, business intelligence dashboards, customer and client portals, and websites. Most projects start with a process that runs on spreadsheets and email.
Every project is quoted after a scoping conversation, because cost depends on how many workflows the tool covers, how many systems it has to connect to, and how much data has to move over. Most builds are quoted as a fixed price against a written scope so you know the number before work starts. Ongoing support and enhancements are handled on a monthly agreement.
A focused single-purpose tool is usually a matter of weeks. A larger platform that covers several departments and integrates with existing systems runs across several months. We build in stages and put working software in front of your team early, so you can review progress throughout the project.
Yes. You own the source code, the data, and the accounts it runs on. Handover includes the repository, documentation, and a walkthrough for whoever will maintain it, so you can keep the software running with or without us.
In most cases yes. We regularly integrate with accounting platforms, property management and CRM systems, payment processors, and internal databases through their APIs or scheduled data exports. Where a system has no API, we can still work from file exports on a set schedule.
We support both. We can host and manage the application in the cloud, including deployments, monitoring, backups, and updates, with the hosting accounts in your name so you can move it at any time. If it needs to run on your own hardware, GoMango Tech, the technology services arm of Blue Brick Partners, handles the on-premise servers, networking, and maintenance. Clients usually choose on-premise when data has to stay on site.
We start with interviews before any design work. Our team comes from product management, so we talk to the people who will use the tool daily, the manager who owns the process, and the person paying for it. From those interviews we write a feature set with priorities and product goals with measurable targets. We build against those targets and check the finished tool against them, because software that meets a requirements list but goes unused is a failed project.
Yes, if you want it. On most internal software projects, the rollout asks more of your team than the build does. Blue Brick Partners consults on operations and personnel, so we can run the training, write the documentation, phase the cutover so daily work continues, and work with managers through the transition. This work is scoped and priced separately from the build, and many clients only want the software delivered.
Yes. Most clients keep a support agreement covering hosting oversight, monitoring, fixes, and a monthly allocation of development hours for changes. If you prefer to have your own team take it over, we document the build and train them.
Yes. The team works remotely with clients across the United States and meets on site for discovery and training when it helps. We are based in Dallas with a satellite office in Nashville, so in-person work is easiest in Texas and Tennessee, and we travel anywhere else when a project needs it.
Tell us how the process works today and what you need the software to do. We will follow up with questions, then send a written scope and a price.
