Operations platforms
The system your company runs on, built the way it runs.
An operations platform is where the daily work of your business happens: taking on work, planning it, doing it, billing for it and seeing how it went. We engineer yours around the way your company does each of those things.
No two alike
There is no Hodessy product to buy. Each platform we build exists for one company.
What it contains, how its screens are laid out, which rules it enforces and who sees what are all decided by how your work should flow. We discover that with your team before a single line is written.
The result replaces the spreadsheets, side systems and workarounds that have grown up around generic tools, and gives your managers one record of the business they can trust.
When it is time
You will recognise the signs.
The same information is typed into more than one system.
Closing the month depends on a spreadsheet only one or two people understand.
You add software every year and still cannot see margin the way you think about the business.
Your best way of doing things lives in people's heads, not in your systems.
Shaped by your workflow
What it became for three different companies.
These are examples, not a menu. Yours will be shaped by what we learn on your floor.

For a contractor
Job costing that follows each crew through the day, so the owner sees margin before the job closes.
Alongside what you keep
It works with the tools you already trust.
Most clients keep their accounting system, and often their CRM. The platform connects to them, whether that is QuickBooks, Sage, NetSuite, Dynamics, Salesforce or something written in-house, so each record is entered once and is correct everywhere.
Every change, approval and override is recorded, so your controller and your auditors can see who did what, and when.
How it comes together
i.
Learn
We spend time with the people who do the work and map how it really moves.
ii.
Design
Your leadership agrees how it should flow, with scope and price in writing.
iii.
Engineer
Built and released in stages, so your team uses it early and shapes the rest.
iv.
Steward
The same people keep it running and adapt it as the company changes.
Questions
What owners usually ask
Usually not. Most clients keep their accounting system for the books, and the platform sends it clean, reconciled records.
