Promptful Consulting builds custom applications for small businesses with 1 to 50 employees. Past projects include a field operations platform with four user roles, GPS-verified clock-ins, work order tracking, photo documentation, and bilingual English and Spanish support; an insurance plan comparison tool that generates side-by-side comparisons and client-ready documents; and a voice-controlled job and crew tracker for a construction company. Apps are built with React, TypeScript, Node.js, and PostgreSQL, delivered in 2 to 6 weeks, with full source code ownership.
Off-the-shelf software is built for everyone, which means it fits no one perfectly. You end up adapting your business to the tool instead of the other way around.
I build the opposite: software designed around your specific workflows, your team’s roles, and the way you actually operate. Not a template you configure — a custom application built from scratch for your business.
A commercial services company with 40+ job sites needed real-time crew management. Built a custom app with four user roles (owner, manager, supervisor, crew), GPS-verified clock-ins, work order tracking, photo documentation, supervisor building check-ins, and full bilingual English/Spanish support. Replaced a system of phone calls, group texts, and spreadsheets.
An independent insurance agent needed to compare health, dental, vision, and supplemental plans across carriers without toggling between websites and building spreadsheets by hand. Built a custom tool that generates side-by-side comparisons and client-ready documents in minutes instead of hours.
A construction company managing jobs, crews, and schedules across multiple active sites needed everything in one place. Built a voice-controlled job management app with crew assignment, scheduling, and real-time status tracking.
Small businesses with 1–50 employees who have a workflow that’s outgrown the tools they’re using. You don’t need to know anything about technology. You need to know what’s not working in your business.
If you can describe the problem, I can build the solution.
Agencies layer project managers, designers, and developers between you and the work. You explain your problem to a PM who translates it for a developer who’s never met you. I learn your business directly and build the app myself. One person, full accountability, no game of telephone.
I build web applications that work on any device — phone, tablet, desktop. They look and feel like native apps on mobile without requiring an app store download. For most small business use cases, this is faster, cheaper, and easier to maintain than a native mobile app.
I’m available for ongoing support. The person who built your app is the person who updates it. No re-explaining your business to a new developer every time you need a change.
Yes. Reach out and describe what you’re thinking. I’ll tell you whether it makes sense, what it would roughly cost, and whether I’m the right person to build it. No charge for that conversation.
