Southwest Ohio

Working in Dayton

Dayton runs on aerospace and defense work anchored by Wright-Patterson and advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and research contracting, and wood products firms keep a yard whiteboard, a notebook, and a legacy database longer than they should, so the tally sheet is the first thing custom software development looks at.

Margins run thin across Southwest Ohio, so when yard inventory and kiln schedules tracked on whiteboards and in legacy databases hits sawmills and lumber yards in Dayton, the payback on a documented process and prototypes you click comes quickly.

What this looks like day to day

Custom Software for sawmills and lumber yards

Wood products software has to speak the yard's language, and off-the-shelf inventory tools do not. Species, grade, length, and moisture are core fields for a mill, and a unit changes identity once it comes out of the kiln. We build the tally, the kiln schedule, and the order book to share one view of what is sitting in the Dayton yard. Yield reporting then falls out of normal work, and nobody has to spend a quarter assembling it.

Most wood products shops across Southwest Ohio will recognize that. In Dayton the difference is how long sawmills and lumber yards put up with it before calling about custom software development.

Questions

What Dayton businesses ask us

What does a custom software development project in Dayton cost to run afterwards?

We put that in the same Dayton, OH quote, so it never shows up as a surprise. For sawmills and lumber yards the ongoing fee covers a yard whiteboard, a notebook, and a legacy database, with no percentage taken from anything the kiln schedule meeting brings in.

Can we see custom software development working before committing the whole Dayton budget?

The checkpoints are there for that. The yard foreman in Dayton clicks a working version at each one, so a wrong turn for sawmills and lumber yards shows up while it is still cheap to fix.

How far ahead should sawmills and lumber yards plan custom software development?

Ahead of the third re-keying of the same numbers, ideally. In practice the Dayton, OH audit is worth booking once the tally sheet starts costing the yard foreman real hours each week.

Do you charge more for custom software development because Dayton is out of the way?

No. Pricing for sawmills and lumber yards follows the scope, and travel out to advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and research contracting goes in the quote up front.
