What We Build for Businesses in Hollister

Hollister sits right on Lake Taneycomo, just across the bridge from Branson, and it has carved out its own identity as a quieter, more affordable alternative to its flashier neighbor. The downtown historic district — with those distinctive English Tudor-style buildings along Downing Street — has been attracting small businesses, restaurants, and boutique shops that cater to both locals and the millions of tourists who pass through the Tri-Lakes area every year.

Hollister businesses tend to be small but ambitious. A fishing guide operation on Lake Taneycomo needs an online booking system that handles trip types, seasonal availability, and deposits. A restaurant in the historic district needs a website that captures the overflow dinner crowd from Branson. A property manager handling vacation rentals along the lake needs a web app to manage listings, bookings, and guest communication in one place. A local service company — plumber, electrician, landscaper — needs a site that ranks well in local search and actually generates phone calls.

We build technology that fits the scale and budget of Hollister businesses. Not overengineered enterprise software, but smart, clean tools that solve real problems and pay for themselves quickly. Our headquarters is in Harrison, AR, just over an hour south on Highway 65 — close enough for a handshake, efficient enough to keep your costs down.

Projects We've Built

SimuWave — Branded VoIP Business-in-a-Box

This web application solves a specific business problem: letting anyone launch a fully branded telecom company without building the technology from scratch. We developed the entire multi-tenant platform — a drag-and-drop call flow builder, zero-touch device provisioning for major hardware vendors, phone number availability in 180+ countries, CDR reporting and real-time analytics dashboards, fraud detection systems, and a white-label engine covering subdomains, branding assets, and transactional emails. Each reseller operates independently, sets their own rates, and keeps their full margin. Next.js frontend with a custom backend handling the complexity.

JobFluss CRM — Door-to-Completion Contractor Platform

A purpose-built operations system for roofing contractors that replaces every tool they were juggling — CRM, scheduler, work orders, invoicing, the lot. We built GPS-tracked canvassing with live map views and performance leaderboards, a production calendar where crews are scheduled via drag-and-drop alongside weather risk data, a work order wizard that auto-generates purchase orders, supplier pricing pulled through live API connections, a template system spanning seven document types, and branch-level data separation for multi-location companies. The entire interface is optimized for mobile because the people using it are in the field, not behind a desk.

Johnson Heating & Cooling — Paper-to-Digital Transformation

This project was about taking a business that literally ran on paper and giving them a digital backbone. The HVAC company had no system — invoices were handwritten, scheduling lived on a whiteboard, and follow-ups depended on someone remembering. We built a complete service management platform: customer intake, ticket creation and dispatch, technician scheduling with workload visibility, job progress tracking, parts and inventory management, and automated invoicing. The owner went from hoping jobs did not fall through the cracks to having a real-time view of every active service call.

Salurio — Childcare Center Medical Records

A healthcare platform engineered for the operational complexity of early childhood centers and pediatric therapy providers. The standout feature is a four-clock billing engine — four independent timers for EIDT, Therapy, Attendance, and Before/After Care that automatically pause to prevent double-billing when sessions overlap. Beyond billing, the system handles two-stage check-in with kiosk and classroom confirmation, USDA-compliant CACFP nutrition logging, clinical documentation linked to Individual Treatment Plans, a live floor view displaying every child's location with real-time ratio compliance, Medicaid billing automation, multi-campus management, and append-only audit logging for HIPAA and FERPA compliance.
