Custom software built around how your business works.
Backyard Systems designs and builds web apps, product MVPs, client portals, internal tools, integrations, and AI-assisted workflows for businesses and founders.
Work directly with the developer responsible for your project, from scope through launch, with clear decisions and regular progress updates.
What We Build
Software for the work your business depends on.
From customer-facing products to internal tools, each build starts with the workflow and the outcome you need.
The Business Problem
When spreadsheets and disconnected tools start slowing the work.
Many businesses start with spreadsheets, forms, shared inboxes, and a few apps. As the work grows, that setup can lead to missed follow-ups, duplicate data, unclear handoffs, and too much manual checking.
The Solution
Replace the workaround with software that fits.
We map the roles, steps, data, screens, permissions, integrations, and automation needed for the work to run clearly.
an MVP that helps you test a product idea with real users
a client portal that reduces back-and-forth emails
an internal dashboard that shows the work your team checks most
an integration or automation that connects the tools your business already uses
The result should be simple: software your team can understand, use, and improve.
Use AI where it has a clear job.
Custom software handles the workflow. AI can support specific steps that are repetitive, text-heavy, or slow to sort by hand, with review points where judgment matters.
