Sound familiar
The hours are going to work a computer should do
Companies with 10 to 200 people rarely need another app. They need the tools they already pay for to share one set of customer facts, so nobody spends the day retyping them.
A full day lost to re-entry
The same order, invoice, or customer record gets typed into two or three tools. Teams in this spot routinely lose 10-14 hours a week to work the software should already do.
Tools that don’t share a customer
Your calendar, CRM, and accounting software each hold a different version of the truth. We connect what you want to keep, and replace what you should stop paying for.
Custom software that felt out of reach
A full-time engineering team is a six-figure hire. A traditional agency quotes six to twelve months. We deliver a fixed-price build in 4-8 weeks, and you own it.
What We Build
Five ways we take work off your team
Scoped to how you actually operate, priced before we start, and built so your people use it on day one.
AI Workflow Automation
Stop retyping the same record into three tools. We automate the repeatable work - invoice processing, order updates, email triage - so your team handles exceptions, not data entry.
Custom Software Development
Portals, dashboards, and internal tools built for the way your team already works. You get software that fits the process, and you own the code.
Systems Integration
Your CRM, accounting, and scheduling tools should share one set of numbers. We build the connections that make the stack behave like one system.
Email & Marketing Automation
Campaigns that read from your customer data, not a CSV export. Segmentation, triggered sequences, and results - tied to MailerLite, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, or built into your platform.
AI Readiness Assessment
A one-week audit of where time and money leak. You leave with a ranked list of automations, effort estimates, and a clear go or no-go on each one.
The Process
Live in 4-8 weeks
Start with a free 30-minute call. If we're a fit, you approve a fixed price before we write code - then you see progress every week until go-live.
Discovery & Assessment
We start with a deep-dive into your operations. We map your workflows, identify bottlenecks, and find the highest-ROI automation opportunities specific to your business.
Build & Iterate
Our team designs and builds your solution with weekly check-ins. You see real progress every step - no black-box development, no surprise reveals at the end.
Deploy & Train
We deploy to production, train your team, and stay available for 30 days post-launch. Most clients see ROI within the first month of go-live.
Results
Hours back. Tools cancelled. Paid for in months.
These are the outcomes operators ask us to repeat. Measured in time, cancelled subscriptions, and payback - not vanity metrics.

“We were spending 14 hours a week manually reconciling orders across three tools. Ethinx built a system that does it in 45 minutes. That time now goes directly to customers.”
Operations Director
E-Commerce Retailer
“I didn't think a 28-person firm could afford enterprise software. Ethinx built a client portal and billing system that firms ten times our size would envy - in six weeks.”
Managing Partner
Professional Services Firm
“The AI readiness assessment identified three automation opportunities we hadn't even considered. Two are live now, and the labor savings paid for the whole engagement in four months.”
COO
Logistics & Field Services
“Our booking system was a shared Google Calendar and sticky notes. Ethinx replaced the whole thing - scheduling, invoicing, customer reminders - and it paid for itself in the first month.”
Owner
Regional HVAC Company
“We stopped paying for five different SaaS subscriptions the week we launched. One platform, one login, zero manual syncing between tools. Night and day.”

About Ethinx
Enterprise-grade software, sized for a 40-person company
Most SMBs are stuck running their businesses on spreadsheets and duct-taped software stacks - not because they don't want better tools, but because custom software has always felt out of reach.
Ethinx exists to change that. We bring the same quality of AI and software engineering you'd find at a Fortune 500 company to businesses with 10 to 200 employees - at a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time.
Every engagement starts with your specific pain points and ends with a working system your team actually uses - and that you own outright.
Why clients choose Ethinx
- Custom-built for your exact workflow - no SaaS retrofitting
- Full-stack team: strategy, design, and engineering in one engagement
- Live in 4-8 weeks, not 6-12 months
- 30-day post-launch support included on every project
- Fixed-price quote approved before any work begins - no hourly surprises
Based in the United States • Serving clients globally

Industry verticals built
Before founding Ethinx, Ryan spent years as a COO inside growing businesses - watching talented operators burn hours every week on tools that weren't built for how they actually worked. Scheduling in one system, billing in another, customer data in a third, and nothing talking to anything else.
As both a software developer and a business operator, he saw the gap clearly: the same quality of engineering that Fortune 500 companies take for granted - custom, integrated, precise - was completely out of reach for businesses with 10 to 200 employees. Not because the technology didn't exist, but because no one had built an engagement model that made it accessible.
Ethinx is the answer to that. A focused technical team that delivers complete business platforms in 4-8 weeks, at fixed prices, with the same rigour you'd expect from an enterprise software shop - and the practical instinct that comes from having actually run a business operation.
“The businesses that win the next decade won't be the ones with the biggest budgets - they'll be the ones that figured out how to operate like a much larger company while staying lean. That's exactly what we build.”
