CUSTOM SOFTWARE + WEBSITES
Software that fits how your business works.
I’m Jamie Derbyshire, and I’m based just west of Edmonton, Alberta. I build custom business software, and the website that goes with it, for companies that have outgrown spreadsheets, paper and email. Ordering, scheduling, quoting, deliveries and invoicing, set up around the way you already work.
RESULT · RBC EGGS
Tens of hours saved every week.
Rochfort Bridge Colony moved its wholesale egg orders, deliveries and invoicing off spreadsheets and onto a system I built in a few weeks.
IN THE OWNER’S WORDS
“Now I can be done by lunch.”
“I used to do it all by hand: orders, pallets, labels, trucks, invoices, payments. I didn’t realize how much of my day went into it until Jamie built the system. Now I can be done by lunch, and I’ve got more time for my family. It caught stores taking discounts we never agreed to, and that was thousands. When we need something, we call Jamie and it gets done.”

SOUND FAMILIAR?
The business grew. The tools didn’t.
- Orders come in by phone, text and email, and someone retypes them into a spreadsheet.
- Invoices get typed up by hand, and payments are matched one line at a time.
- Only one person knows where everything is, and they’re busy.
- The website looks dated and doesn’t bring in work.
WHAT I BUILD
If it runs your business, I can build it.
Every project is custom. These are the pieces I build most often.
Online ordering
Customers order from their phone, and every order lands in one place.
Operations software
Jobs, schedules, deliveries, inventory and labels, shaped around your process.
Invoicing and payments
Invoices straight from the order, payment matching and statements.
Customer portals
Customers check quotes, invoices and files without calling you.
A website that brings in work
Custom design you can edit, with quote forms, booking or an online store.
Email and accounting
Business email on your domain, a QuickBooks Online connection and optional managed bookkeeping.
WHAT IT COULD LOOK LIKE FOR YOU
Different work, the same problem.
Most businesses I talk to are passing work between people by phone, paper and spreadsheet. A few examples of what I’d build:
A distributor or producer
Customers order online at their own prices. Orders become pallets, labels, truck loads and invoices, payments are matched automatically, and you hear about it when a regular customer hasn’t ordered.
A contractor or trades company
Quote requests come in from the website. Jobs get scheduled, crews see their day on a phone, and invoices go out when the job is done.
A service business
Clients book online and get reminders. Staff see their schedule, and clients find their invoices and documents in a portal.
WORKING WITH ME
You deal with me from the first call to launch.
- A free call about the problem. No pitch, and no brief needed.
- A written plan and quote. You approve it before I start.
- You try working pieces as they’re built, then we launch together.
