Our Proven Tech Stack for Small Business Software That Actually Works

Fast, affordable, scalable solutions built with Spring Boot, Vue.js, Tailwind, DigitalOcean, Twilio, Mailgun & Agno AI


If you're a small business owner looking for custom software that improves your business's performance instead of just giving you more work to do, this is for you.


We’ve been building tools and automation for small businesses for years. Over time, we’ve narrowed down our tech stack to exactly what works best: fast development, modern design, built-in scalability, and easy maintenance. And because we’ve standardized how we build, we can offer better software at better pricing. Here's how we do it.


Backend: Spring Boot (with Kotlin)

We build our backends using Spring Boot and Kotlin. It’s secure, efficient, and gives us full flexibility to build everything from CRMs and dashboards to scheduling systems and payment flows.

What does it mean for you:

  • Fast development without the bloat
  • Clean, stable codebase
  • Easier updates and changes down the road


Frontend: Vue.js + Tailwind CSS

Our apps feel modern and run smoothly. Vue.js helps us build responsive, dynamic UIs, while Tailwind CSS keeps things clean, mobile-friendly, and on-brand.

For your users:

  • Faster load times
  • Intuitive layouts
  • Mobile-ready from day one


Hosting: DigitalOcean

Reliable and affordable hosting that scales as your business grows. DigitalOcean gives us full control without the overhead of larger cloud platforms like AWS or GCP, keeping things fast and simple.


Messaging: Twilio

Need SMS reminders, two-factor authentication, or automatic call updates? Twilio powers all of that, so your communication is built right into your software.


Email: Mailgun

We use Mailgun to handle transactional and marketing emails. It’s dependable, fast, and integrates perfectly into our stack, so things like password resets, newsletters, and weekly reports just work.


AI Capabilities: Agno Framework

When your software needs a smart layer like content suggestions, workflow automation, reporting, we plug in our Agno Framework. It's our way to bring AI into small business tools without overengineering.


Why We Stick to One Stack

Here’s the thing: we don’t jump from tool to tool just to chase trends. Sticking to a single, efficient tech stack means:

  • We don’t need five different engineers for five different languages
  • We build faster
  • We make everything easier
  • And most importantly, we pass those savings on to you


By staying lean on tech, our pricing stays affordable, and your software doesn’t come with surprise costs or overcomplication.


Already Have a Different Tech Stack? Let’s Talk.

If you're already running software built with something else, whether it’s WordPress, Laravel, Python, or anything else, we’re still happy to help. We’ve migrated and extended all sorts of platforms. Sometimes, you only need a smart way to improve what’s already there.


The Bottom Line

This tech stack isn’t just our preference, it’s the foundation for building affordable, custom software for small businesses that actually pays for itself.

From internal tools to customer portals, scheduling systems to automated reporting, we’ve got you covered.
