Custom software by Arcturus Consulting

Custom software that runs your whole business — finally on one screen.

Your schedule is in one tool. Estimates and invoices in another. Customer emails somewhere else. Your real numbers in a spreadsheet. We build you one custom app that pulls all of it into a single place — designed around exactly how your business runs.

Builds start at $500 · fixed-scope, quoted up front · then $99/mo to host & support it.

The problem

You don't run one business. You run six tabs.

The tools are fine on their own. The problem is that nothing talks to anything else — so you're the integration. You copy numbers between apps, you re-type the same job three times, and no single screen ever tells you where things actually stand.

Constant tab-switching

Scheduling here, invoicing there, email in a fourth place. The context lives in your head, and it doesn't scale past you.

Nothing is connected

An estimate becomes a job becomes an invoice — but you re-enter it by hand at every step, and things fall through the cracks.

?

No single source of truth

Ask "how did we do this month?" and the honest answer is a spreadsheet you haven't updated. The real number is buried across five tools.

What we connect

One app that speaks to the tools you already use

We don't ask you to rip anything out. We build a single app on top of the systems you already pay for, so your day lives in one place while the data stays where it belongs.

QuickBooks — estimates & invoices Job & crew scheduling Gmail / email inbox Shopify & ecommerce Live profit & P&L Customers & CRM Automated reminders Calendars Google Sheets & feeds Your own spreadsheets

Use a tool that isn't listed? That's normal — most builds include something specific to your business. If it has a login or a file, we can usually connect it.

How it works

Built around your business — not a template

This isn't off-the-shelf software you bend your business to fit. We start from how you already work and build the app to match.

We learn your workflow

A free discovery call. We map how a job actually moves through your business today and where the friction is.

We build your app

You get a single, private web app — your schedule, quotes, invoices, inbox, and numbers on one screen. Works on the office computer and your phone.

We host & maintain it

It stays live, backed up, and updated. Need a new feature next quarter? We add it. You never touch a server.

Case study

We built this for a real company first.

A field-service business was living in five tools at once: a scheduler for jobs, QuickBooks for estimates and invoices, Gmail for customer email, Smart­lead for outreach, and spreadsheets to figure out whether a month was actually profitable. We replaced the tab-juggling with one app.

Before

Five logins, no overview

Jobs scheduled in one place, quoted in another, invoiced in a third. Estimates went out and got forgotten. "Are we making money this month?" meant an afternoon in a spreadsheet.

After — one app

Everything on one board

A color-coded job calendar with QuickBooks estimates & invoices built in, a unified email inbox, a live profit & loss view pulled from real costs and fees, and automatic estimate-follow-up reminders that ping the phone. One screen, one login.

5 → 1Tools consolidated into one app
LiveProfit visible any time, not month-end
AutoEstimate reminders so quotes stop going cold

It runs that business every day. Now we build the same kind of app for other owners who are tired of being the glue between their tools.

Who it's for

Built for owners who wear every hat

Field service & trades

Contractors & installers

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, cleaning — anyone juggling scheduling, quotes, invoicing, and crews.

Product & ecommerce

Small merchants

Store, inventory, orders, and finances scattered across Shopify, QuickBooks, and spreadsheets that never reconcile.

Owner-operators

Growing small businesses

You've outgrown the sticky-note stage but a big platform is overkill. You need software shaped like your operation.

The Arcturus portfolio

A growing family of apps we own, sell & support

Arcturus Consulting builds its own software and stands behind it. You're not renting a tool from a faceless vendor or a middleman reseller — every app in our portfolio is one we designed, run, host, and support ourselves.

More on the way

Built, owned & supported

New tools for small businesses are always in the works. When Arcturus ships an app, we own it end to end — we host it, keep it updated, and answer the phone when you need us.

How we work & what it costs

Fixed scope. One quote. No hourly meter.

After a free discovery call, we scope exactly what your app does and quote it as a fixed project price — builds start at $500, so you know the number before we write a line of code. Then a flat $99/mo keeps it hosted, backed up, and supported.

Step 1 · Free

Discovery call

30 minutes. We learn your workflow and the tools you use, and tell you honestly whether a custom app is worth it for you.

Step 2 · From $500

Design & build

We agree on exactly what v1 does, quote a fixed project price (starting at $500), and build it — usually in weeks, not months. You review as it comes together.

Step 3 · $99/mo

Host & improve

A flat $99/mo covers hosting, backups, and support. Want new features later? We add them. Cancel anytime — the app is yours.

Every business is different, so every quote is too. The discovery call is free and there's no obligation.
