Kansas City + remote
You keep pulling the same report. Your team keeps asking for an update. I build custom dashboards and business apps that bring the information together and give people a way to act on it. See how the business is doing, check stock, or move a request along without piecing it together by hand.
20 minutes, free. Bring the problem and the tools you use.
Business reporting + tools for daily work
WHAT I BUILD
You work directly with me, from figuring out what's needed to building and handing it over. I bring experience running the operations behind these tools, so we can talk about what the business needs as well as how to build it.
BUSINESS DASHBOARDS · SALES · REPORTING
Check sales across locations, see what's in stock, or review marketing performance without putting the report together again. I bring the data into one view and check it against the source reports, so you know what you're looking at.
INTERNAL TOOLS · PORTALS · TEAM WORKFLOWS
Let vendors check stock and book a restocking time. Give your team a place to track requests or see what needs attention. I build the screens and actions around those tasks, so people can get an answer or finish the job without another round of emails.
SOFTWARE CONNECTIONS · DATA · EXISTING SYSTEMS
I start with the software and spreadsheets your business already uses. If a better setup or an existing feature solves the problem, I'll tell you. When something is missing, I can build the connection or app that fills the gap.
OPERATING PROOF
I'm Blake Hamilton. I designed and built these systems for businesses I help run. Each case study shows the problem, what I built, and what changed once people started using it.
The founders used to move between roughly a dozen accounts to check performance. I built Pulse to bring sales, advertising, and email into one view they can check on their phones. I built the data connections and checked the numbers as well as the dashboard.
3 brands, 19 points of sale, and 12 platform accounts. Each source matched its platform report to a $0.00 difference before launch. Founders check it daily.

Read the Pulse case studyStaff used to prepare separate weekly sales reports, inventory reports, and restocking forms. I built one app where vendors can see their sales and stock, then book a time to restock. They get current information, and staff have fewer reports and questions to handle.
39 vendor workspaces. 3 separate weekly staff workflows consolidated. Inventory is visible within ten minutes.

We start with one question or task worth fixing. I handle the data connections, screens, testing, and handoff, so you have one person responsible for bringing the build together.
Show me the report, spreadsheet, or task that's causing trouble. We look at who uses it and where the information comes from. I check what's possible, then put the features, price, timing, and ongoing costs in a proposal you can review.
I connect the data and build the screens. We check the numbers, test who can see or change what, and try the everyday tasks with your team. We also check what happens when a record is missing, a connection fails, or the work doesn't follow the usual steps.
Your team tries the tool with real work before launch. I give you a walkthrough and instructions for using it, checking the data, and getting help. We agree who handles upkeep and future changes before the handoff.
START WITH A CONVERSATION
We'll talk for 20 minutes, free. Show me the report you keep assembling or the task your team keeps chasing. I'll help you decide whether the software you have can do the job or whether a custom build makes sense. You don't need a paid audit when the project is clear.
A working dashboard or app built around the question or task we agree to solve.
Connected data, checked numbers, and access for the people who need it.
Testing with your team, clear instructions, and a walkthrough. The proposal covers the build price, timing, and ongoing costs before you commit.
If several processes are tangled together or you're unsure what to fix first, the $999 Business Systems Audit can help. It includes a 90-minute owner session and a roadmap within five business days. We agree that step before booking it.
Your $999 audit fee goes toward your first build if you move forward with me. It comes off the quoted build price. The roadmap is yours either way.
See what the audit includesCOMMON QUESTIONS
Scope, software, data, access, and what happens after launch.
A custom business dashboard brings the information you need from agreed sources into one view. It can show sales, inventory, advertising, or other operating measures across tools and locations. I agree the definitions with you, check the numbers against their sources, and make the view fit the decisions you need to make.
A dashboard helps you see what is happening. An internal tool lets people do work, such as updating a request, scheduling restocking, or managing a task. A portal can give vendors or partners access to their own information. A project can combine reporting and actions when that is what the work needs.
No. If you have a clear question to answer or a task the tool needs to handle, we can start with a free 20-minute conversation and scope the project directly. If the problem crosses several processes or you are unsure what to fix first, I may recommend the separate $999 Business Systems Audit. We agree that before booking it. Your $999 audit fee goes toward your first build if you move forward with me. It comes off the quoted build price. The roadmap is yours either way.
I quote the project after checking what it needs to do and how we can get the data. A reporting view with a few sources is a different job from a portal with several user roles and actions. You get the build price, timing, and ongoing software, hosting, and maintenance arrangements before agreeing to the work.
I start by checking your existing software and the access it provides. My operating work includes connections to Square, Shopify, Meta, and Klaviyo. For your project, I check whether each source provides an API, an export, or another reliable way to share the data before agreeing the build. Access, plan limits, and data quality can affect what is possible.
We agree what each measure means, check it against the source reports, and make the refresh timing clear. We also agree who can view or change each part of the tool and test those permissions before launch. The vendor portal has workspaces scoped to each vendor's data; your project gets access rules that fit the people using it.
You keep ownership of your business accounts and the custom system I build for you. I document the setup and walk your team through it. Third-party software still has its own licensing and fees. We agree maintenance, issue reporting, and responsibility for future changes in the proposal. Ongoing support can be a separate engagement if you need it.
Start by checking whether your current software can do the job. A custom tool makes sense when you keep assembling the same information by hand, need one view across several accounts, or have a task that falls between the tools you use. If an existing feature or product is a better fit, I will recommend that before a custom build.
Kansas City is my home base. I also work remotely with small businesses elsewhere in the United States when we can review the process, data, and work through calls and shared tools.
START WITH THE WORK
Tell me what you keep checking, updating, or chasing. A few sentences about the task and the software you use are enough to start. I read every note myself and reply within one business day.
