Product / Web console / Mobile app / Live dispatch
CrewPilot, my own SaaS product
A scheduling and dispatch platform for teams that work on the move — planning jobs with drag and drop, sending them straight to workers' phones, covering absences in a few clicks and assigning the nearest worker from a live map.
Real app screens — recorded with fictional demo data.
Product · ForgeFlow
ForgeFlow is production software for rebar fabricators. Bar bending schedules become orders, cutting plans and production schedules in one system, with less waste and fewer manual steps.
Running live in rebar fabrication
01
Reads bar bending schedules from DWG, PDF and Excel files, including bar shapes, diameters and quantities. Anything unreadable is reported, never guessed.
02
Every position with bar shape, diameter, quantity, length and weight, plus totals by diameter and print-ready order sheets.
03
Calculates cutting patterns from stock bar lengths and saw kerf, showing bars required, offcuts and waste percentage. Plans export to PDF and Excel.
04
Priorities, deadlines and workload estimates for cutting and bending, based on production rates set per machine.
Real app screens recorded with fictional demo data.
What I build
Four kinds of work, often combined into one connected system.
01
Fast, responsive websites that explain clearly what you do — in every language your customers speak.
02
Custom web software for stock, orders, documents and the everyday processes that keep a business running.
03
Android and iOS apps for your team and your customers, built around real tasks away from the desk.
04
Connecting the tools you already use — ERP, e-commerce, printers and email — so information is entered once.
Process
01
We start with how your business actually works: the people, the steps and where time is being lost.
02
I map the workflow and design the screens around it, so the software fits the job — not the other way round.
03
You see working software early and often, so you can test it with real tasks and steer it as it grows.
04
A careful rollout, help for your team where it is needed, and ongoing support as your business changes.
