Services — Greater Cincinnati
The software your business actually runs on.
Two tracks: general software work for small businesses nearby, and Slate consulting for higher-ed teams wherever they are. Most small businesses don't need a platform. They need one stubborn process fixed, two systems talking to each other, or a spreadsheet retired with dignity. That's the work.
Custom internal tools
The small app your team keeps asking for, built to fit how they already work.
Workflow automation
Take the twenty-minute Tuesday ritual and make it a button nobody thinks about.
Systems integration & APIs
Your POS, your books, your scheduler — connected, so nobody retypes anything.
Legacy modernization
The system that still works but nobody wants to touch. We'll touch it, carefully.
Websites & web apps
Fast, accessible, and cheap to keep online. Not a template with your logo dropped in.
AI integration & pilots
A narrow pilot with a real before-and-after, so you can tell whether it earned its keep.
Specialty practice
Slate consulting
Slate is deep, and most of the hard parts aren't in the manual. We work with admissions, advancement, and student success teams who know what they want the database to do and need someone to actually build it.
Not a reimplementation pitch. Usually it's one portal, one dataset, or one stubborn process that never got finished.
Who this is for
- Admissions & enrollment
- Advancement
- Student success
- Slate administrators of one
Custom datasets
Modeling the records Slate doesn't ship with — companies, programs, sites, volunteers — with the fields, tabs, and permissions to match.
Portals
Application status pages, staff dashboards, and self-service views — built to look like your institution rather than a default framework.
Deliver messages
Email and campaign builds that render everywhere, with Liquid Markup and merge fields doing the work instead of a person on send day.
Queries & reporting
Queries, exports, and dashboards your team can rerun themselves — plus the SQL for the questions the query builder won't answer.
Forms, rules & workflows
Forms that behave, rules that fire when they should, and Reader workflows that stop needing a reminder on a sticky note.
Integrations & the rest
SIS and third-party syncs, imports and exports, cleanup, and the odd request that doesn't fit a category. Ask — we've probably seen it.

How it goes
STEP 01
You get in touch
You describe the annoying part over email. No slides, no discovery phase invoice.
STEP 02
A plain-English plan
What gets built, what it costs, how long. One page, fixed scope, no surprises.
STEP 03
Built and handed over
You get the code, the accounts, and documentation a stranger could follow.
Not sure it's worth asking?
Describe the annoying part in three sentences. Worst case you leave with a clearer idea of what you need.
