Fixes · Contained Operational Sprints
Focused work for contained operational problems.
When one operational bottleneck is eating hours every week, leaking quotes, or confusing your team. We scope the exact problem, agree on scope and a written price upfront, and hand it over. No open-ended retainers.

Turnaround
Days, not months

Need multi-system synchronization or custom ERP/WMS connectors? That is Systems work
The Scope Ledger
Six typical Fix scopes
Each Fix is defined by tangible inputs, clear build milestones, and a handover package your team can run on day one.

Run a trade business with multiple vans and slow quoting?
Websites and quote follow-up for trade businessesOperational Anatomy
Where businesses actually bleed time and money
These are not theoretical software bugs. They are practical operational leaks that happen in trade businesses, warehouses, and growing shops every day.
Trade & Field Service Quotes
The leak: Van notes stay trapped in WhatsApp chats and paper pads. Quotes take 3-5 days to price up. By the time the quote lands, the customer has hired someone else.
OpsPatch Fix: Mobile quote intake + fast estimate calculator + automated customer follow-up alerts.
Order Copy-Pasting
The leak: Orders arrive by email or web form, and someone spends an hour every morning re-typing line items and customer addresses into accounting or dispatch tools.
OpsPatch Fix: Automated ingestion bridge that parses incoming orders and syncs them directly into your workflow.
Monday Morning Report Assembly
The leak: The business owner spends half of Monday pulling CSV exports from four platforms, wrestling Excel formulas just to see revenue, stock, and team hours.
OpsPatch Fix: Clean, automated rollup pipeline with a weekly management dashboard that updates itself.
The Operating Protocol
How an OpsPatch Fix works
No discovery retainers. No three-month consulting roadmaps. We isolate the problem, agree on the deliverable, and ship it.
Describe what is broken
You outline the friction at /start. We identify the root operational leak and confirm whether it fits a contained Fix or requires Systems work.
Fixed price, exact deliverables
You get a written specification listing the input data, what we build, what we test, and the exact handover criteria. No open-ended hourly billing.
Shipped in your tools
Tested with real data in your live environment. Documented with clear operating notes so your team operates it without depending on us.
When is it a Fix, and when is it Systems?
We keep two distinct tracks so you never pay Systems-level engineering prices for a straightforward operational repair.
CHOOSE A FIX WHEN
- One contained problem (e.g. quote lag, manual copy-paste, reporting bottleneck)
- Existing tools can stay; they just need a clean handoff or automation
- You want the problem solved in days with a written quote and clear handover
CHOOSE SYSTEMS WHEN
- Authoritative records must stay in continuous bi-directional sync (WMS ↔ Store)
- Custom ERP connectors (Dynamics 365, NetSuite) or multi-carrier rate engines
- Warehouse operational software (cartonization, slotting, pick pathing)
