When a spreadsheet and a group chat are quietly running your business

A shared spreadsheet and a WhatsApp broadcast list can run a surprising amount of business in Jamaica. The trouble starts when two people edit the same sheet, nobody agrees which invoice is paid, and only the owner understands what the colours mean.

We automate the handoffs that keep breaking: a lead becomes a quote, a quote becomes a job, a job becomes an invoice. We connect payment confirmations directly to order status, so nobody has to check a bank app and a spreadsheet separately.

7Speed Delivery shows the customer-facing version of this: a mobile app for customers, drivers, and dispatch, all talking to one backend. Your own project might be quieter, a wholesaler’s order form, a garage job tracker, or a school fee portal, and it still deserves proper engineering.

We talk to the people who actually do the work, not only the owner. We map the current process, shortcuts and all, then propose a small first version that removes the worst pain within weeks, not a rebuild that takes a year.

Every contract spells out what is included, what is not, and how a change request gets priced. You see working versions early, so surprises show up in a demo, not in a final invoice.

We choose tools based on the problem, not fashion. A web app for an office team, a Flutter app when staff live on their phones, a plain database that actually restores from backup when tested. None of it needs to be exciting to work well.

Banks, couriers, and accounting tools each behave a little differently, and we budget real time for sandbox accounts, certificates, and the week someone else’s system quietly changes shape. Old databases and email approval chains are common, and we migrate them in stages.

Your team should never face a Monday with no working tools because a migration ran long. Security matches the size of the job: role-based access, encrypted connections, and backups we have actually restored once, not just scheduled and forgotten.

After launch, a retainer covers monitoring, routine updates, and small fixes. A large new feature gets its own scope and its own quote, so you always know what you are paying for.

If a Business Builder website with a booking add-on solves your problem, buy that instead. If WooCommerce covers your shop, choose an online store. Custom software earns its cost when your own rules are the product, pricing that changes by customer, inventory across several locations, or reports for a regulator.

Bring us your spreadsheet, your WhatsApp export, and your wish list. We will send back a written proposal broken into phases, with a WhatsApp thread open for questions along the way. We work with teams across Jamaica and with clients abroad; Motormade Auto is proof that distance is not the real obstacle, unclear requirements are.

Related website plans on our pricing page cover the marketing site that often sits beside a custom build. The software itself gets quoted separately, once we understand what you actually need.

You own the code and the data, under the terms we agree upfront. The repository, database exports, and instructions for running it all transfer to you if you ever leave. Nobody should hold your own operations hostage on a server only they can access.

Login details live in a vault you control, not in someone’s personal notes app. We keep test and live versions separate, so an experiment never quietly changes a real invoice. We test backups with an actual restore before calling anything finished.

Training covers both the staff member running payroll every week and the owner who only opens the dashboard once a month. They need different depth, and one long training call rarely serves either of them well.

If a feature is not earning its keep ninety days after launch, we would rather discuss retiring it than force people to keep using something nobody wants. Software should remove work from your day, not add another meeting to it.
