Custom internal software
Custom internal tools for Canadian SMBs
DEVTom builds focused internal tools for Canadian SMBs that have outgrown spreadsheets, paper workflows, and disconnected SaaS.
The goal is not to build a large software platform. The goal is to fix the operational workflow that slows the business down.
What counts as an internal tool?
- •Admin portals
- •Operations dashboards
- •Workflow apps
- •Internal CRMs
- •Time capture systems
- •Project costing tools
- •Inventory or production tools
- •Reporting tools
When Canadian SMBs usually need one
- •The business has roughly 10-200 employees and coordination is becoming manual.
- •Too many disconnected tools force employees to re-enter the same data.
- •Excel is being used as a database.
- •SaaS does not fit the real workflow.
- •Managers need better visibility before the end of the week or month.
- •Paper, email, and spreadsheets still carry important approvals or exceptions.

- •Senior architecture and development experience on complex business applications.

Operational proof
Built from real SMB operational work

- •Shared tablets and scan-first shop-floor workflows
- •NFC identification, barcode scanning, and project/activity selection
- •Payroll preparation, labor costing, and daily operational reporting
