Olson Co. & Associates / Custom Tools & Automation

Custom business tools.
Less work by hand.

I build web applications, dashboards, customer portals, and automated workflows around your business. Start with a new idea, or expand your existing website and software into a system that handles more of the work for you.

Designed to work together

A request comes in.
The next steps follow.

For example, a form can organize project details, create a record, and notify your team. You review the decision that matters while the routine steps happen automatically.

01 / Automate repetitive tasks

Stop repeating
the same manual steps.

I can automate tasks with clear rules, either within a new system or using tools you already have. An incoming request, payment, or status change can trigger the next steps without someone re-entering the same information.

  • Create or update records when a customer submits a form
  • Send confirmations, reminders, or team notifications
  • Pass information between connected business tools
  • Keep approval steps for exceptions or decisions you want to make yourself

02 / Applications, dashboards & portals

Build the tool
your business is missing.

I can create a complete web application from scratch or add custom functions to your existing site. That could be a dashboard for your team, a portal for customers, or a specialist tool that turns information into a useful result.

  • Dashboards for viewing and managing business information
  • Customer accounts and portals for accessing records or services
  • Searchable catalogs, lookup tools, and report-generating applications
  • AI-powered features connected to the data and services your project needs

03 / The systems behind the website

Store the information.
Make the features work.

The backend is the part customers don’t see: it saves records, checks access, and processes actions. I can build those systems for a new application or improve the logic and connections behind an existing one.

  • Save and retrieve customer, product, or project records
  • Manage account access and which information each user can see
  • Connect your application to payment providers and other software
  • Apply business rules, validate inputs, and handle errors

04 / Plan a useful first version

Start with one problem.
Build toward the bigger idea.

You can bring a complete product idea or one frustrating task. I’ll help define a practical first version, what it needs to connect to, and what can fit within your budget before we agree to build it.

  • Map what users need to do and how the process works today
  • Choose the features needed for a useful first release
  • Agree on scenarios to check before delivery
  • Explain how to operate the tool and what ongoing services it needs

For a complex or unfamiliar setup, discovery may be needed before a reliable build quote is possible. Any paid discovery work is discussed and agreed in advance.

A little more clarity

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Do I need to replace all my existing tools?

No. We can start with the systems you already use and focus on a specific gap. A custom tool or automation should have a clear role in the way your business works.

Does automation mean giving up control?

No. We can define approval steps and exceptions so the process handles routine work while you remain responsible for decisions that need your judgment.

Can we start with a smaller project?

Yes, where a smaller scope can still deliver something useful. Share your priorities and available budget so we can consider a realistic first step.

Can you build a complete application from an idea?

Yes. You can start with a business problem or product idea rather than an existing website. I can help plan the features, design the interface, build the systems behind it, and prepare it for launch. We’ll agree on a scope and budget for the first version.

Your next step

Tell me what
you need built or improved.

Describe the tool you want to create or the task you want to improve. Include your existing website or software, who will use the system, and what should happen from start to finish.

Include your priorities, available budget, and spending limit. I’ll review the request and follow up about the fit and next steps.
