How working with us works.
No fixed bids and no long sales process. A free call to understand the problem, then work billed by the day, hour or month.
How it works
Reach out
Use the contact form or the chat. Paul usually replies within a day.
A free intro call
We talk through the problem and whether we are the right fit. No cost and no commitment.
Work, billed simply
By the day or hour, or monthly for ongoing work. You pay for the work done and can change direction as you learn.
Remote or on site
We work remotely with teams anywhere, and on site around the Twin Cities.
Who we work with
Clients range from small businesses to larger operations. The work has run from shop-floor software in manufacturing to the firmware and app for an FDA-registered medical device, and much of it connects to the ERP and back-office systems the client already runs.
Whatever the size, you work directly with the engineer building it, and the first conversation is free.
Common starting points
- Just exploring and not sure what you need yet
- Wanting to automate something in your business
- Training or a workshop for your team
- Something already started that needs help
Questions people ask
How much does a project cost?
It depends on the work, so we do not publish rates. Work is billed by the day or hour, or as a monthly arrangement for ongoing work. We scope it together on the free intro call.
Do you do fixed-bid projects?
No. Billing for the time worked keeps the scope honest, lets you change direction without renegotiating, and means you never pay for padding.
What kinds of projects do you take on?
Custom software, AI built into products, firmware and devices, and integration with ERPs and back-office systems. Clients range from small businesses to larger operations.
Where are you located?
Minneapolis, Minnesota. We work remotely with teams anywhere and on site around the Twin Cities.
Who does the work?
Paul Tran, founder and principal engineer, and you work with him directly throughout. When a project needs more hands, he brings in a small bench of senior and principal engineers, and he stays your point of contact.
Do you offer AI training?
Yes. We run AI training and workshops for teams and leaders.
How quickly will I hear back?
Usually within a day, through the contact form or the chat.
