Digit · The technology department for businesses too small to have one

What it's for

Two jobs. Everything else follows.

01 · Free the team

The repetitive work goes to software. Your people get the meaningful part.

Re-typing, chasing, copying between apps: gone. That time goes into doing the work better, selling more to the customers you already have, and following up every lead, not only the warm ones.

02 · One place for everything

All your information in one place. Easy to find, ready to automate.

Customers, orders, emails, files and money, connected instead of spread across inboxes, spreadsheets and five apps. Your team finds anything in seconds, and because it's built to be programmed, every new automation, report or AI tool plugs straight in.

Something we haven't listed?

How it's done

Ask for anything. The answer is yes.

Every request gets an estimate in hours before anything starts. You approve it. Then it gets done. No shelf of products to push: whatever the problem turns out to need is what gets built.

OwnerCustomers keep calling to ask if their order is ready. Can they just check?

DigitNo problem. They get a text when it's ready, and a link to check any time. Estimate: one day.

OwnerCan new staff get set up without me losing a morning?

DigitNo problem. One checklist, and their email, logins and shared drive are ready on day one.

OwnerCan we see every email we've ever sent a customer, in one place?

DigitNo problem. One timeline per customer, every mailbox included.

OwnerCan customers pay in installments?

DigitNo problem. Pay-later at checkout and on invoices. Live tomorrow.

OwnerCan we keep a copy of everything in the office, just in case?

DigitNo problem. A backup every night, and one button to download it.

Estimated first

Hours, in writing, before work starts. You always know what a request costs.

Approved by you

Nothing starts without a yes. The quarterly plan decides what comes first.

Then done

Shipped, shown to you working, written down. The same person, every week.

What your days buy

What two days a week looks like.

An example month at a twelve-person business. The pace comes from real work logs; the business is a composite. Most of it was asked for. Some of it we spotted before it cost you anything.

An example of our work

We don't sell software. We build yours.

Here's what that looks like for a cleaning company: its whole operation, built around how its team already works. Yours would be built around yours.

Example · built for a client, not a product

A cleaning company's whole operation, from the booking to Monday's numbers.

One invented company, assembled from systems we've built for real clients. The starting point: a cleaning company with 20+ cleaners and hundreds of apartments. Every feature here is one we've shipped somewhere.

Clients book online: services, extras, price and tax worked out as they go
Jobs go to cleaners who are free, from the availability they set themselves
Cleaners get the checklist and the manual on their phone, photos at the end
A quality review closes the job; the invoice goes out and chases itself
Every property on one map, with access notes and the next clean
A Monday summary for the owner: jobs, revenue, who hasn't paid, what needs attention

The same building blocks run any business with a team in the field: bookings, rotas, checklists and billing.

AI, honestly

We use AI where it earns its place. And tell you when it doesn't.

Most businesses don't need an AI strategy. They need the hours back. Sometimes AI is the fastest way to get them; often a plain automation is cheaper and more reliable. We know both, and we'll pick for you.

New inquiry · 07:42

"Hi, can you do an end-of-tenancy clean this Friday? It's a 2-bed, we hand the keys back at 5pm."

Quote request2-bedFriday, before 17:00

Draft reply · written by AI from your price list and calendar

Hi Sarah, yes, Friday works. We have 9:00 or 11:00 free; a 2-bed end-of-tenancy clean takes about four hours, so either gets you done well before 5pm. I've attached the quote. Which time suits you?

Where it earns its place

Reading the inbox: sorting inquiries and drafting replies in your tone
Pulling data out of documents: invoices, forms and delivery notes, straight into your system
Turning long calls and email threads into a few next steps
Answering "where's that?" from your own files and history
First drafts of quotes, job descriptions and reports

Where it isn't the answer

Anything that moves money or makes a promise without a person checking
A broken process. Automate a mess and you get a faster mess
Your relationship with your customers
Jobs a simple rule does better, cheaper and every time

How it works

No sales calls. The first conversation is a working session.

From $3,900 a monthone day a week · scale 1 to 5 days · month to month, planned in years

Write to us
Two minutes. You get a written reply within two working days with what we'd fix first and a short video so you can see how we think.
The Operations Map
Two weeks, fixed fee, credited against your first month. One working session and a written plan: what to fix, in what order, at what cost. Yours to keep, whoever builds it.
Your technology department
One to five days a week. Every request estimated, approved, done. A written update every day, a call every couple of days.

Every week you get

A written update every working day, with screenshots
A demo video whenever there's something new to see
A call every two working days, on average
The ledger: what was asked, estimated, shipped

What you never get

Hourly billing or surprise invoices
A ticket queue, a portal, or an account manager
A product we happen to have on the shelf
Lock-in. Everything is yours

Why a retainer and not a project? Because the thing you ask for first is rarely the thing that matters most, and finding that out takes months of working together, not a brief. A project ends when the money does. A department stays. We take on a handful of businesses at a time, for years rather than months.

Who we are

Owners, like you. Independent by choice.

Digit is a small group of senior people who chose to work for themselves. We know what running a business asks of you, because we run one.

Someone to talk to
You get a person, not a portal. The same person every week, who picks up, answers the same day, and takes the problem away instead of handing you a new one.
Not employees, by choice
We're not looking for a job. We're looking for a few businesses worth working with for years. So we treat yours the way we treat our own, because that's the only way we know how to work.
A few, for years
A handful of clients at a time. Long enough to know your customers by name and your price list by heart. You don't manage us. You tell us what you need.

I've built software since 2008: products for startups, payment systems, marketplaces, social networks and communities, and the systems whole organizations run on. The work I like most is the kind on this page: a business where the owner is doing three jobs, and the right systems give one back.

You'll work with me every week, and, when your plan needs more hands, with senior people I've worked with for years. Not whoever is free. The work only gets good once we know how your business actually runs, and that takes months, not a brief.

Maté GvoFounder, Digit

Questions

The ones everyone asks.

How can a senior engineer cost the same as a junior?

Part-time, no overhead, and tools that make an experienced engineer much faster. They don't make an inexperienced one good. You pay for the days you use, not for a desk.

We don't understand technology. Is that a problem?

It's the point. You explain the business; we handle the technology and explain it back in plain language: a short update every day, with screenshots or a demo video when there's something to see.

We tried an app and nobody used it.

Usually because it asked the team to change how they work. We build around how you actually work, run the new thing alongside the old one until it has earned trust, and only then switch.

Our customers want a human, not a robot.

So do we. Software handles the repetitive part: logging, reminders, drafts, exports. A person stays on anything that talks to a customer or touches money.

Do you work with what we already use?

Yes. We replace a tool only when it costs you more than it saves. Much of the early work is connecting what you have and removing the re-typing between them.

What if it doesn't work out?

Month to month, with a month's notice. The Map is yours whatever you decide, and everything built stays in your name and keeps working. We'd rather earn the years than lock them in.

Who are we actually working with?

Maté Gvo, the founder. The same person every week, with eighteen years of shipping software, across marketplaces, payments, fintech, e-commerce, education, and social networks and communities. When a plan needs more hands, senior people he has worked with for years. Remote, in English, overlapping your working day.

Will we be dealing with a person or a system?

A person. The systems are ours to deal with. You text, call or email the same person every week, and you get an answer the same day, not a ticket number.

What hours are you available?

Every US working day. Your morning is our afternoon, so we overlap daily, and anything you send in the evening is answered by the time you're back at your desk. Urgent things have a number to call.

Will we be stuck with something only you understand?

No. Everything is built in your accounts, on standard, widely used technology, and written down as it's built, so another engineer could pick it up. Backups and monitoring are part of the job. We'd rather you stay because it works, not because you can't leave.

Is this an "AI company"?

No. It's a technology department. AI is used where it saves real hours, with a person approving. Mostly it's good systems, kept running, by someone who knows your business.

Start in writing

Tell us what you'd like to stop doing.

A written reply within two working days. No call unless you ask for one. No minimum term: we plan in years and earn them month by month. The Map and everything built stay yours.

A handful of clients at a time. Two places open this quarter.
