Software and Automation

Application development

Custom web apps built around how your business runs, for local businesses in Manhattan, KS and clients nationwide.

A web app is a website that does work: a dashboard that shows you the day, a portal where customers see their own orders and appointments, a tool your team uses instead of a spreadsheet and a group text. We build them around how your business actually runs, and we build them fast, so you are using it in weeks instead of waiting a quarter.

We run local businesses too

SquadWorks was started by the founder of Poo Squad, a Manhattan startup that grew to 20+ locations. When off-the-shelf software could not keep up, we built our own tools to run the company. That is the experience your app gets built with.

What's included

Everything the job needs. Nothing it doesn't.

An admin built for your day

The screen you open in the morning: what is booked, what is due, what needs a decision. Laid out the way you think, not the way a vendor thinks.

Customer portals

A place customers log in to see their orders, appointments, prices, or paperwork, so they stop calling to ask and you stop digging to answer.

Booking and quoting tools

Price by the rules in your head, let customers book or request on the spot, and keep every job in one list.

Internal systems

Job tracking, checklists, approvals, team views. The stuff you run on paper, texts, and three spreadsheets, in one place.

Built on Cloudflare

Fast, secure, and backed up, with nothing to install. It works on a phone in the field and a laptop at the desk.

Tested and reviewed before launch

AI writes a lot of our code, and it writes it fast. Nothing ships blind: every build is tested and put through a security review before real customer data touches it.

Who this is for

Sound familiar?

The owner running the business on spreadsheets

It worked at five customers. At five hundred, the spreadsheet, the group text, and the whiteboard are quietly costing you jobs.

The business with a repeat question

Customers call to ask the same things: price, status, when. A portal or a calculator answers it for them, any hour.

The business that has outgrown its software

You bought the industry tool. It does most of the job, and the rest is a daily workaround.

How it works

From the first call to launch.

  1. 01 / A short call

    You walk us through how the work flows today, where it leaks, and who needs to see what. We ask a lot of simple questions on purpose.

  2. 02 / A fixed quote

    A scope and a price before any work starts. The first version does the one job that matters most. The rest can come later.

  3. 03 / We build, you use it early

    You get a working version in days, not months, and you use it with real data while we finish. What you learn shapes what we build next.

  4. 04 / Launch, then handled

    We launch it, train your team in one sitting, and keep it running, backed up, and improving as the business changes.

Questions

Straight answers.

What is the difference between a web app and a website?

A website tells people about you. A web app does work for you: it books, quotes, tracks, and remembers. Most of what we build is both, in one place, under your own domain.

How much does a custom app cost?

Every project is scoped and quoted up front. You get a fixed price before any work starts, and it does not move. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

How can you build it so fast?

One operator working alongside AI that writes and tests production code, with no handoffs between five people who each understand a third of the project. The building is the same. The waiting is gone.

Will it work on a phone?

Yes. Everything we build is designed on a phone first, because that is where you and your team actually are.

Do I own it?

Yes. The code and the data are yours. Hosting and upkeep are a monthly service, and we hand everything over if you ever want to leave.

Tell us what you would build.

No idea is too small or too odd. Tell us what you would want, and we will tell you straight how we would build it and what it would cost.
