Old jobs are hard to find
Searching past work by customer, address, PO or key system means digging through files and inboxes.
FOR COMMERCIAL LOCKSMITH, DOOR & ACCESS CONTROL COMPANIES
Find any job, key system or customer record in seconds.
Master key systems, access control installs, service calls and vendor orders all generate records you need years later. We build custom software that keeps them connected and searchable.
Founder-led software team based in Atlanta, working with companies nationwide.
WHERE TIME GOES
The work is complex. The tools shouldn't be.
Key system records live in one person's head
Which cylinders and keys belong to which building, and who authorized them, isn't written down in one place.
Vendors and techs are coordinated by phone
Parts orders, subcontractors and technician schedules are tracked in texts and spreadsheets.
WHAT WE BUILD

Not another subscription you bend your process around. We start with your highest-value workflow and expand from there.
- Work orders with status, priority and technician assignment
- Searchable job history by job number, PO, customer, address or vendor

Common questions
Have you built this for a locksmith before?
Yes. We are currently building a connected operations workspace for an Atlanta-area locksmith and field-service company. You can read about the project in our case study.
Is our customer and key data secure?
We design role-based access and permissions from the start and never ask for passwords or customer records during sales conversations.
What does a project cost?
Most companies start with a $3,500 workflow audit (credited toward the build), then fix one workflow, typically $25K to $50K. Connected platforms run $50K to $100K. A useful comparison is the hours your office spends each week rekeying, chasing and searching; we can work through that estimate together on the call. Scope and price are confirmed after discovery.
How long does it take?
Most focused projects take about 6 to 8 weeks. We build in stages, so your team sees and tests working software along the way, and we confirm the timeline after the discovery call.
Who owns the software?
You do. When the project is done, you own the code and the system we build for you.
What happens after launch?
Every project includes 90 days of fixes at no charge. After that, you can choose a monthly care plan, starting at $600 a month, covering hosting, monitoring, updates, fixes and small changes. Or get help as needed at $150 an hour. Bigger additions are scoped as their own small projects.
What happens on the call?
A free 30-minute phone call about how your team works today and where it gets stuck. Afterward we send you a short written summary of what we heard and what fixing it could look like, whether or not we work together. If custom software isn't the right fit, we'll say so.
