Custom Software in Marietta

Software for work that happens away from a desk

A large share of Marietta's commercial work happens outside a building. Service crews drive to well pads, river operations move material, and contractors are on sites spread across Washington County and north into the shale counties. The office then retypes what the crew wrote on paper, which is where the day gets lost.

Software that fixes this has one hard requirement: it has to work with no signal. Not a degraded version, a working version that saves locally and syncs when it finds a connection. Anything less gets abandoned in the first week, and then the paper comes back.

Because we are in town, Marietta projects get something unusual. We can watch a dispatcher work for an afternoon before writing a line of the blueprint, and that afternoon tends to change the design more than a week of meetings would.

What we would look at first in Marietta

• What the crews write down by hand, and who retypes it later
• Whether the work can continue with no signal, and how conflicts resolve when two people edit the same job
• How a job gets its number, and whether the field and the office use the same one
• Which spreadsheets are load-bearing, and who is the only person who understands them
• What has to keep working on the day we switch anything over

What custom software development includes in Marietta

• A free audit that starts by watching the work rather than asking about it
• A written blueprint of the process as it runs today, before anything new is designed
• Prototypes you click through and correct before the build starts
• Offline-first field software, so a crew with no bars keeps working
• A staged build with approval at each step, and a way back from each one
• The source, the data and the documentation handed to you at the end

Discovery, prototype reviews and training happen in person here without anyone planning a trip. That cuts the number of correction rounds, because problems show up while we are standing next to them.
