What is always included
Regardless of which one you pick
It runs on your infrastructure
Your server, your database, your credentials.
Written handover
Enough documentation that another engineer could take it over.
No lock-in
No per-seat licence, no vendor account, nothing that stops working if we do.
An honest no
If automation is not worth it for a job, we say so before invoicing you.
Common questions
Before you get in touch
Why Telegram instead of a normal app?
Because your staff already have it installed and already know how to use it. There is no app store review, no install friction, no separate password to forget, and identity comes free with the platform. For a five-person team, a Telegram mini app is live in the time it takes to explain what an MDM enrolment is.
What happens if Telegram is down?
Sales data lives in Postgres on your server, not in Telegram. An outage stops new orders being entered from the app, exactly as a broken till would, but nothing is lost and nothing needs reconciling afterwards.
Can you replace our spreadsheets with something proper?
Usually, and it is one of the most worthwhile things we do. The spreadsheet becomes a real database with validation, so two people cannot overwrite each other and the reporting can be trusted. We start by reading your actual spreadsheet, because the awkward columns are where the real business rules are hiding.
Will it integrate with the software we already use?
If it has an API or webhooks, yes. If it only has a CSV export, we build a repeatable import instead — less elegant, works fine. If it has neither, we will say so plainly rather than promising a scraper that breaks on their next redesign.
How long does a custom system take?
A focused first version is usually weeks rather than months, because we deliberately scope one to something you can start using and then extend. If a quote sounds like six months of work before you see anything, the scope is wrong.
Do I own the system?
Yes. It runs on your infrastructure, against your database, with your credentials, and you get the documentation. There is no per-seat licence and no lock-in beyond the fact that someone has to maintain it.
Can you take over something already half-built?
Often, yes — that is a good deal of the work. Send the workflows or the repository and expect an honest answer about whether repairing it is cheaper than replacing it.
Where do you work?
Remote for software; on-site in Phnom Penh for hardware, panel and installation work. Environmental monitoring is remote by design once installed.
Tell us what keeps going wrong
A conversation costs nothing and often ends with us saying automation is not worth it for a given job. That is a useful answer too.
