Software Your Business Runs On
Most small businesses run on a pile of apps that do not talk to each other, a spreadsheet somebody updates by hand, and the owner remembering everything else. CheatCode builds the system instead: the portal your team works in, the ordering and booking your customers use, and the automations that take the repetitive work away — with your website built right into it.
- Built around how you work
- Website included
- No contracts
- Hosted + supported monthly
Why software, not just a website
A website tells people you exist. Software is what actually runs the business once they show up: taking the order, booking the time, tracking the customer, reminding the right person, and telling you what happened this month. That is where owners lose hours every week, and it is where a custom build pays for itself.
So this is where CheatCode starts. We learn how your business already works, then build the system around it — not the other way round, where you bend your process to fit whatever a subscription app decided a business like yours should look like.
What we build
Every build is different because every business is. These are the pieces that come up most, and most systems combine several of them.
- Owner and staff portals, with a login for every person and roles that decide what each one sees
- Online ordering, quoting and product design tools your customers use themselves
- Booking and scheduling tied to real availability, with reminders that send themselves
- Customer records, order history and a simple CRM
- Inventory, deliveries and job tracking
- Stripe, Google Calendar, email and the tools you already pay for — connected
- Reports and dashboards that show the numbers you actually check
Your website, built in
The public website is the front door of the same system. A customer who books on the site lands straight in your portal; a product you add in the portal shows up on the site. No second vendor, no copying information between tools, and one monthly plan for the whole thing.
Need a mobile app too? It runs on the same system again. Want only a website? We build those as well.
Already running for real businesses
Unleashed Sports Nutrition has a Stack Builder that turns the daily counter conversation into software, and a business portal behind a two-door team and member login. Signature Styles LLC has a live layered design studio where customers design their own gear, with every order re-priced and re-checked on the server before it is saved. And CheatCode runs its own business — sales pipeline, payouts, client portal and reports — on a system we built ourselves.
How a build runs
One discovery call. Bring how the business works today, what customers ask for, and the jobs you are tired of doing by hand. That sets what version one does — and just as important, what it leaves out. Then we build in working stages, so you are clicking real screens early.
After launch, hosting, security, monitoring and updates are part of the monthly plan. Your business changes, and the software changes with it. No contract keeps you — the work does.
Questions, answered
What counts as custom business software?
Anything your business runs on that an off-the-shelf tool does not do the way you work: an owner or staff portal, online ordering or a product designer, booking and scheduling, customer records, inventory, automated emails and reminders, reports. If you are copying the same information between three apps every day, that is usually the first thing we build.
Do I still need a separate website?
No. The public website is built into the same system — the front door of the software your customers and staff use. One build, one login, one monthly plan, and nothing to copy between a website vendor and a software vendor. If you only want a website, we build those too.
Can you connect it to the tools I already use?
Yes. Stripe, Google Calendar and Google Business, email, and most tools with an API can be connected so information moves on its own. Where a tool has no way to connect, we tell you on the call rather than promising it.
How is custom software priced?
It is scoped on a free call, because the price depends entirely on what the system has to do. It then runs as a monthly plan that covers hosting, monitoring, updates and support. No contract and no lock-in. Call (505) 975-4098 or email info@cheatcodesolutions.com.
How long does a build take?
It depends on the scope, and you get a firm timeline after the discovery call rather than a guess. Every build ships in working stages, so you see real screens early instead of waiting for one big reveal.
Who owns the data?
You do. Your customers, orders and records are your business data, stored in your system, and you can get a full export of them at any time.
