When off-the-shelf tools no longer match how you work

Many small organisations end up with tools that don't talk to each other and repetitive tasks that take a disproportionate amount of time. Some common situations:

  • Important data is spread across several applications that don't communicate.
  • Some tasks are redone manually, almost identically, every week.
  • Activity reports are assembled by hand from several files.
  • The SaaS you use offers ten times more features than you need, at a high price.
  • Backups exist, but nobody actually checks their status or content.
  • The business runs largely on spreadsheets and manual operations.
  • A small, focused internal program would solve the problem better than another subscription.

Why work with an independent developer

  • Direct contact with the person designing and building the software.
  • A clear project scope, defined before work starts.
  • Documentation provided with every delivery.
  • A progressive approach, step by step rather than one large block.
  • Attention paid to cost control.
  • No superfluous features added for the sake of it.
  • Code ownership and hosting are defined with the client from the quote stage.
  • Possibility to start with a prototype before a full build.

Backup & monitoring

Your backups exist. Do you know if they're usable?

I design tools to schedule, monitor and check backup operations on infrastructure chosen by the client.

  • Data stays on the client's infrastructure.
  • SOLODOVNIKOVA.AGENCY does not provide its own backup hosting.
  • Possible connection to an existing NAS.
  • Possible connection to S3-compatible storage owned by the client.
  • Configurable notifications and reports.
  • Restore-test scenarios can be set up.
  • This is not a substitute for a complete security strategy.
