Charleston, South Carolina
We find the job your team does by hand every morning, and we take it away.
Two weeks inside your operation, in person and free. Then one written answer: which job is costing you most, and what your morning looks like without it.
Pull yesterday's tickets
Cross-check three systems
Chase what is missing
Rebuild the schedule
Send it out
Five jobs, one person, and all of it before the day starts.
You already know which one of these is yours
Margin fade, bid against actual
Someone rebuilds tomorrow's crew and equipment plan every morning from yesterday's tickets, three phone calls and a whiteboard.
Turn time, and maintenance margin
Maintenance requests arrive by email and text, get re-keyed into the system by hand, and the vendor follow-up lives in someone's head.
Billable coverage, overtime as a share of payroll
The roster is rebuilt in a spreadsheet each week and the overtime is discovered afterwards, on the invoice.
Labour as a share of sales
Three systems get reconciled by hand before payroll, and nobody can say what a shift actually cost until it's over.
If none of them is yours, the two weeks will find the one that is. We don't arrive knowing what your problem is.
I built the platform. It moves freight for the Fortune 500.
I joined a container logistics company as its only engineer and built the first version of the product it sells. It runs freight for Fortune 500 shippers today. I hired the team of ten that maintains it, and I'm its staff engineer.

Step Town Hotel
Hospitality operations for a boutique property in Kigali. Booking, front desk and housekeeping running on one system.
A family property. It's run the front desk since the day it opened.
Mulstra
Field-service operations software. Dispatch, scheduling, invoicing and job tracking for crews.
Built end to end: dispatch logic, scheduling and billing.
The two weeks are free. You know the last day before we start.
At the end you get one written answer, yours to keep whether or not you hire us again.
The visit and the two weeks are a free discovery and diagnosis, in person. If you want us to build what we found, we price that afterwards, against what the diagnosis showed it’s worth. What a forty-truck yard needs isn’t what four needs.
Have us come outWe watch
On site, in the trucks. Nobody fills anything in. We write down every job somebody does by hand.
We ask one question
We ask the people doing the job, not only the people who own it. The answers are different and both matter.
We cost it
Hours a week, and what it would take to remove, starting with the tools you already pay for. If it isn't worth removing, we say that in writing too.
You get one document
Yours to act on with us, with somebody else, or on your own. It also says what we'd leave alone, because some of it works and changing it would be a bad trade.
We come to you, and you leave with one thing worth trying
Thirty minutes at your yard. Tell us what your mornings look like and we'll tell you which part we would go after first. If that's useful on its own, take it and run it yourself.
