Custom software development for businesses in Chicago
We build systems for Chicago companies that distribute, transport, manufacture and serve customers: inventory, ERP, fleet tracking, point of sale and AI automation. We work online and in the same time zone.
Real projectNexus OBD →We work online, with companies anywhere in the world
Our model does not require in-person meetings: discovery, design, phased deliveries, training and support happen over video calls, WhatsApp and email, in English or Spanish. That is how we work today with companies across the United States, the Dominican Republic, Spain and Argentina. If your project needs an in-person meeting, we coordinate it.
Meetings when they help
Video calls on your schedule and, if the project calls for it, a visit planned ahead of time.
Everything in writing
Scope, phases, timeline and investment in a clear proposal before we start.
Chicago is in our time zone (Central), so the full workday overlaps.
How a project works
1. Free assessment
A call to understand your operation and the process that costs you the most today.
2. Written proposal
Scope, phases, timeline and investment before a single line of code.
3. Phased deliveries
Every phase ends with something your team can already use and test.
4. Training and support
We train your team and stay with you after launch.
What we see in Chicago businesses
Chicago is a Midwest transportation and distribution hub, with manufacturing, food, restaurants, professional services and a very large Mexican and Hispanic business community. These companies have warehouses, delivery routes and teams that need to know in real time what is in stock, what shipped and what is left to collect.
Distribution and warehouses
Inventory per warehouse, orders, delivery routes and invoicing, all connected.
Trucking and delivery
Vehicle GPS tracking, dispatch, proof of delivery and reports.
Manufacturing and food
Production orders, batches, supplies and quality control in a custom ERP.
Professional services
Client portals, secure documents and case tracking.
What we build for Chicago companies
Distribution and warehouse ERP
Inventory per warehouse, wholesale orders, delivery routes, credit accounts and invoicing connected to QuickBooks.
Fleet GPS tracking and diagnostics
Live location for every vehicle, alerts, engine fault codes and reports per driver and per route.
Custom BI dashboards and reports
Sales, inventory, margins, collections and fleet performance on one live dashboard fed by your systems, instead of a weekly Excel report.
Point of sale for restaurants and food
Sales by weight, unit or case, multiple locations, register closing and per-location reports.
Client and document portals
Secure portals for professional firms: documents with role-based permissions, MFA, backups and case tracking.
AI assistants and sales automation
WhatsApp answers with your company's data, and leads that land in the CRM on their own, prioritized and followed up.

Do you have an office in Chicago?
No. We work online from Texas with companies in Chicago and worldwide. If your project needs an in-person meeting, we coordinate it.
Can you build an ERP for my distribution company?
Yes. We build custom management systems: inventory, purchasing, sales, routes and invoicing on one platform, in phases.
Do you work the same hours?
Yes. Chicago and our team are both on Central time.
Can the system handle several warehouses?
Yes. Each warehouse has its own inventory, with transfers between them, and you see stock for all of them on one dashboard.
Does it connect to QuickBooks?
Yes. We can send invoices, payments and customers to QuickBooks so your accountant keeps working there, with no double entry.
Can you plan delivery routes?
Yes. The system builds the day's routes from the orders, and drivers see their deliveries and confirm each one from their phone.
How much does custom software development cost for a Chicago business?
It depends on how many processes it covers, how many user roles it has and which integrations it needs. That is why we start with a free assessment and then give you a written proposal with scope, phases, timeline and investment.
Do you build custom BI dashboards?
Yes. We connect your systems, QuickBooks or spreadsheets and build live dashboards with the KPIs you actually use: sales, inventory, margins, collections or fleet performance.
How long does it take?
We work in phases: the first one is usually in use within weeks, not months, and the rest is added in stages based on what matters most.
