For SMB operators
Stop renting bad software.
You bought the SaaS. Your team works around it. The gap between capability and value is widening. We build the system that fits how your business actually runs.
The pattern in SMB operations
You are paying for software that almost solves your problem. Three subscriptions, none of which talk to each other. Annual cost climbing.
Your operations team has built a shadow process around it. Spreadsheets, manual workarounds, Slack threads that should be database rows. The system of record is in someone's head.
Custom dev quotes you have seen run high for what feels like it should be straightforward. The math has not been working out, so you keep paying the SaaS vendors instead.
Fixed-price product studios change the math. The custom build is not as expensive as the quotes you have been getting.
What we bring to SMBs
01
Fixed price that is actually affordable
Fixed-price builds scoped to your actual problem. Not enterprise pricing for SMB problems. The math works because we run lean, fix scope upfront, and do not bill hours.
02
Process redesign before the build
We audit how work actually happens, then build the system around that. Not the other way around. Stage 2 of every engagement is workflow redesign, because the software is the easy part.
03
Full ownership, no vendor lock-in
You own the code, the data, the architecture. Portable. You do not become a Comet hostage the way you became a SaaS hostage. Any developer can pick up what we hand off.
What this has looked like
Pattern 1
Boutique consultancy, 25 people
Spending heavily on Salesforce every year. Plus 12 hours per week of admin time keeping it clean. Plus three exports a week to Excel because the reports were wrong.
Comet built a focused workflow tool that replaced the messy parts. Salesforce kept for what it does well. Saved 10 hours per week and significant SaaS spend per year.
Pattern 2
Regional logistics SMB, 80 people
Three SaaS tools, none of which talked to each other. Operations team running an Excel master sheet on top of all three. Errors compounding weekly.
Comet built the integration layer. Single source of truth. Excel master sheet retired. Errors down to near zero. Build cost paid back in under 5 months on labor savings alone.
If your operations are running on workarounds
Start with a Clarity Sprint. Two weeks, fixed price. We audit how your business actually runs and produce a build-ready plan with a fixed quote. If the math does not work, you walk away with a documented decision and zero further commitment.
