Small business software
Software Built Around Your Business — not the Other Way Around
Small businesses get sold software made for someone else: too big, too generic, priced per seat forever. Jiss Tech builds the other kind — small, exact systems that match how you already work, priced fixed, and starting at a size you can actually say yes to.
When custom software pays for itself
Four situations we see in small businesses every week.
You've outgrown the spreadsheet
The workbook that runs scheduling, quotes, or inventory was fine at first. Now it has one fragile owner and no history. We replace it with a small system that has rules, permissions, and memory.
Customers are slipping through
Follow-ups live in someone's head, and inquiries die in the inbox. Automated acknowledgment, reminders, and one customer timeline fix retention the boring, reliable way — retention rose 89% at the shop running our system.
Software bills keep stacking up
Five subscriptions, each doing 20% of the job, none talking to each other. One system built around your actual workflow often costs less over three years — and your team stops fighting it.
The process only works when you're there
If the owner is the workflow, the business can't take a vacation. Software that encodes how work gets done is how a small operation grows without breaking.
A small business, running on custom software
An independent auto shop runs its whole operation on a system we built.
JNC Suite handles the shop's customers, vehicles, estimates, invoices, parts, appointments, messaging, and staff permissions — eight modules in one system, in daily production. The owner reports customer retention up 89% since adopting it, from automated reminders and promotional texts alone.
That's what small-business software should do: quietly run the parts of the business that used to depend on memory.

Frequently asked questions
Small-business software, answered plainly.
Isn't custom software only for big companies?
It used to be. Modern tooling has collapsed the cost — the auto shop running JNC Suite is a small independent business, and its eight-module system does work that once required an enterprise budget. The real question isn't company size; it's whether a manual process is costing you more than the software that would replace it.
What does custom software cost for a small business?
Our published starting points run from $49 (a website diagnostic) to $250 (a workflow map) to $1,250 (an automated lead-response system) to $2,500 (an auto-shop CRM pilot) — all fixed-price, all delivering something useful on their own. Larger builds get a written fixed quote before work starts, so there's never an open-ended bill.
How do we know when we've outgrown spreadsheets?
The signs are consistent: the spreadsheet has an owner nobody can replace, two versions of it disagree, customers slip through because a follow-up lived in someone's head, or an employee spends hours a week re-typing data between tools. Any one of those usually means the software would pay for itself.
Will we depend on you forever?
No — and you shouldn't depend on any vendor forever. We build on mainstream technology, document what we ship, and hand over the accounts and code. Most clients keep us on for improvements because it's useful, not because they're trapped.

What's the part of your business that runs on memory?
Tell the engineer who'd build the fix. If software isn't the answer, we'll say so — that honesty is why small businesses keep us around.
