Embedded engineering for operations
Software that fits how you work.
Operators who build. We learn how your team works, then configure, extend or build software around it, live on your data in weeks.
Your team runs the business on spreadsheets and heroics.
Your systems know what was recorded. They don't know how the work actually gets done.
Internal IT backlogs are measured in quarters. Your targets are measured in months.
Consultants leave slides. We leave working software, proven processes, and a team that actually uses them.
Interactive walkthrough: Enterprise spend analysis
Four phases. One team from start to finish.
01 · 1–4 WKS
Diagnose
We sit with your team, watch how the work really gets done, and map the process, data and systems. Then we design the fix: configure our software, extend it or build new.
02 · 6–20 WKS
Build and deploy
Your first workflow is live on real data in about four weeks. Stop there and keep what we built, or keep going to the full scope.
03 · 30 DAYS
Launch support
After go-live, an engineer works with your team about an hour a day. Anything we built that doesn't work as specified is fixed free for 90 days.
04 · MONTHLY
Run
We stay as much as you need: a few hours a week, more capacity for changes, or an engineer embedded full time.
tested · documentedWhat each phase includes.
diagnose
1–4 weeks · from $70 / hr
A process map, a solution design, an integration plan for your ERP and other systems, a baseline, and a fixed price for the build. The fee is credited toward the build. Already know the problem? A one-week quick start covers a single workflow.
build and deploy
6–20 weeks · from $90 / hr
Software live in production, connected to your systems, tested and documented. Before go-live, we train each role on the new tools and the AI built into them, using their own work.
launch support
30 days · free
90-day warrantyAbout an hour a day of engineer time for questions, adjustments and data issues, plus a 90-day warranty on what we built.
run
monthly · from $70 / hr
Care, Extend or Embedded: support, changes and new workflows, from a few hours a week to an engineer full time. Software licenses are billed separately.
Every price starts as an estimate in hours that we show you, and it's fixed before work starts. Changes in scope are priced in writing first. Prices in USD.

vantage: ready on day one.
Extended around your process.
vantage is our operational software for procurement, finance and supplier operations.

Then our engineers embed with your team to tailor it and connect it to your ERP and spreadsheets.
Included modules
- Live run rate and verified savings against baseline
- Multi-tier supply chain routes, supplier locations and geographic lead times
- Early signals on unapproved spend and vendor risk

Operators who build.
Over forty years inside operating teams, running processes and the programs that improve them. That method works anywhere work runs on spreadsheets, email and handoffs. We learn your domain fast, build the tools your team wishes it had, and price from hours you can see while we commit to the outcome.
Your data stays governed: least-privilege access, audited writes, and none of your data goes into dev tools or AI prompts without a signed agreement.
