Mini apps: one job, one workflow, built in days

One job, done.

A mini app takes one piece of work that has a number attached, such as intake, quoting or reminders, and runs it end to end. Built in days, tested on your real data before you pay, then run and measured monthly.

What it does.

  • Order or enquiry intake from email, forms and chat
  • Document collection with reminders until complete
  • Quotes built from live prices and stock
  • Appointment confirmations and reminders
  • A weekly report compiled and sent on time

Every action is logged, a person reviews anything that touches money or a customer, and the month is measured against the number.

Who it is for

The right size when.

A team that repeats one task dozens of times a week and knows exactly which one. Usually the first engagement, and the fastest way to see whether the model works for you.

Timeline

Days 1 to 3: map the workflow and agree the number. Days 4 to 10: build and test on your real data. Days 11 to 14: your team uses it, we fix what they find, you decide whether to run it.

Questions about mini apps.

What counts as one workflow?

One trigger, one outcome. An enquiry arrives and a qualified record exists; a job finishes and an invoice goes out; a day ends and the report is sent.

What does a mini app cost?

Mini apps are usually priced into the first month of a run engagement, from USD 5,000 a month. Larger ones are scoped at the audit.

Can it grow into something bigger?

Yes. Most mini ERPs we run started as one mini app that proved the number.
