Keep customer history, job status, or equipment records in one searchable place. Center Point Labs builds practical business tools, cleans up and moves records, and turns existing data into useful reports.
Built for: service businesses, contractors and repair shops, ranches, venues, and nonprofits across the Hill Country.
Every project starts with a Workflow Review. Builds are quoted after it, in writing, before any work begins.
A short engagement before any build. We walk through the job, the tools you use now, and the records you keep, then put it in writing: what you have, what it should become, and what it would cost to build and run.
You receive written findings, a map of the proposed records and screens, cleanup and integration requirements, and a scoped build recommendation with build and operating costs.
Useful on its own. If an existing tool fits better, we’ll say so.
Book a Workflow Review →Illustrative examples—not past client projects. Each build is scoped to your workflow.
Find a customer, see their history, update a job, and know what needs attention, in one place instead of three.
Example: A repair shop tracks equipment, previous repairs, and open jobs in one place.
Scope: one agreed workflow, the records and screens it needs, user roles, and one import. Additional workflows are scoped separately.
Get your records out of the old system in one piece. We standardize exported records, flag likely duplicates for your decision, and move approved data where it needs to go, with a backup of the original and a written report of what moved and what still needs a call.
Example: A contractor combines customer CSVs before changing systems, then checks what moved and what still needs a decision.
Scope: source exports, destination, cleanup rules, and record volume. Building a new application is a separate job.
Answer the questions you keep asking: which jobs are overdue, what’s open, what changed this month. Every number links back to the records behind it.
Example: A service owner sees open and overdue jobs by status and age, then opens the exact records behind each count.
Scope: sources, the questions to answer, and how often the numbers refresh. Replacing the system where records are entered is a separate job.
A small, working example: 25 fictional customers, 60 jobs, a CSV with exceptions, and reports you can check. Review and approve an import, find a customer’s history, save a job status, and drill into the updated count.
Illustrative demo, not client work. Synthetic data only. Changes persist in this browser’s local storage, not on a server, and are not shared across devices. Do not upload real customer data. A real build’s hosting and access are separately agreed.
Try Service Desk →Every build runs on ordinary, inspectable databases, PostgreSQL or SQLite, not a proprietary format. You can export everything, any time, as CSV or SQL. You receive the source under the standard CPL license, a documented handoff, and export instructions, so the tool keeps working for you whether or not we’re still involved.
Projects are quoted after review. Hosting, third-party services, integrations, access permissions, and any backup or restore-check arrangement are specified in the proposal. Included records, screens and imports, usage/access, source-code and licensing arrangements, handoff, hosting/service costs and support are agreed in writing.
Interface Lab is our feature-rich UI study: linked table, card and board views, editable estimates, a multi-step quote builder, live appearance controls and a layout that adapts to your phone. Fictional data, browser-local storage, no live bookings.
Open Interface Lab →AI-assisted development helps us prototype and adapt your tool quickly. Nick directs the design, checks the data, tests the workflow, and takes responsibility for what ships.
Your application need not use AI or require a model subscription. Timelines are set in the review.
A PostgreSQL research demo with 5.4 million synthetic records across 24 linked tables, reporting, and validated CSV-import workflows. A capabilities demonstration—not a live factory deployment or packaged ERP.
A working client gallery with owner administration and a SQLite-backed publishing workflow. Practical record management supporting a site its owner can keep current.
A database-backed photography platform with structured photo records and owner tools. The same application-building approach, shaped around a specific workflow.
Focused small-business systems and application-level database work. Enterprise database operations, 24/7 administration, and full ERP replacement are outside this offering.
Hosted builds include nightly backups; restore checks are part of Care Plus. Delivered builds include 60 free days of Care Plus, bug fixes included. Ongoing care after that is optional, from $99/month. Hosting and any third-party services are itemized in the proposal. Read scope, ownership and support terms.
