Solutions for internal tools and manufacturing operations
Find the path that matches the operational problem you need to solve.
Most SMB software problems do not start as software problems. They start as spreadsheet dependency, manual coordination, disconnected SaaS, late reporting, or operational visibility gaps. These solution pages are organized around those problems.
High-intent problems we solve
Replace spreadsheets with internal apps
When a spreadsheet has become the system of record, move the workflow into a structured internal application.
Custom software development Montreal
Focused internal applications for SMB operations, Excel replacement, workflow automation, and reporting.
Real-time project visibility
Capture work, cost, status, and exceptions at the source so managers can act earlier.
Replace Excel business apps
Turn risky Excel workflows into secure applications with roles, validation, dashboards, and exports.
Operational problems we solve
Start from symptoms like duplicate entry, manual approvals, disconnected SaaS, or late reporting.
Manufacturing time tracking
Capture shop-floor labour by employee, project, and activity with scanner-friendly workflows.
Project labour cost tracking
See labour burn and fixed-price margin risk while work is still active.
Production KPI dashboards
Turn reliable operational events into daily production, support, and project visibility.
Operational proof
Based on real SMB operational work
DEVTom's positioning comes from concrete operational systems, not abstract software categories. Recent work includes shop-floor time capture with shared tablets, NFC identification, barcode scanning, project/activity selection, payroll preparation rules, and reporting logic for labour, breaks, overtime, and project costs.
- •Shared tablets and scan-based shop-floor workflows.
- •NFC identification, barcodes, and project/activity selection.
- •Payroll preparation, labour costs, and daily operational reports.
