Most business software today is rented by the seat, which is fine until the seats add up or the vendor changes the product. A custom web application is the other option: built around the way your company actually works, running in any browser, and owned by you when it is done. Norsoft builds them from Mankato, Minnesota.
Spreadsheets and email chains do not scale
Your team runs on a mix of spreadsheets, email threads, and a product that was not built for your work. Data goes missing, two people edit different copies, and pulling a report takes a morning that should have taken a minute.
Or the pressure is coming from your customers, who want to log in, check status, or place an order themselves. Without a portal they call and email instead, and your staff spends hours answering questions a screen could have answered.
What we build
Dashboards that show the numbers your managers actually use. Customer portals for status, history, and orders. Scheduling and dispatch. Reporting that assembles itself instead of being rebuilt by hand each week. It runs in the browser on any device, so there is nothing to install and nothing to maintain on individual machines.
We learn how the team works before writing code, then build in short cycles with working software every two weeks. When it is finished you own the code and the data. If you want to compare that against buying something off the shelf, we wrote custom software versus off the shelf, and there is a related option if your crews work in the field rather than at a desk, which is a mobile app your company owns.
What we have built
A testing platform used by more than 800 schools, with AI essay grading that turned days of work into under two hours. Read the case study.
The prompt library behind an AI email platform, which has run more than 50 million times without a failure. Read the case study.
Production reporting for a plastics manufacturer, where clean data eventually helped the owners at sale. Read the case study.
This is probably you if
- Your team coordinates work through spreadsheets and email threads
- Customers call to ask questions a login screen could answer
- Subscription seats keep adding up and the product still does not fit
- Reporting is assembled by hand from several systems
- You want the software and the data to belong to the company
