Platforms we built

Two products.
Both still ours.

RootControl and LightControl weren't client projects we polished for a portfolio — they're vertical SaaS platforms we designed from nothing and still operate today.

Flagship · Vertical SaaS

RootControl — all-in-one field management

Custom routing, CRM, and automated dispatch built for high-volume field operations.

The challenge

Legacy field-service software is bloated, slow, and disconnected from what crews actually do all day — forcing teams into manual double-entry between dispatch, routing, and billing.

The solution

We built RootControl from the ground up as a fast, unified platform for field operations: scheduling, client CRM, optimized route planning, and real-time invoicing in one portal.

Key capabilities

  • Smart routing engine — automated multi-stop dispatching for mobile teams.
  • Client & service portal — instant billing, job status tracking, automated notifications.
  • Field-first mobile UX — high-contrast, rapid-touch interface built for low-latency field use.

Flagship · Vertical SaaS

LightControl — showroom software for the lighting trade

Runs the whole sale end to end, from quote to final payment, with every dollar synced to QuickBooks.

The challenge

Lighting showrooms were running the sale across a quoting tool, a spreadsheet, a filing cabinet, and QuickBooks — so the deposit, the vendor PO, and the delivery date all lived in different places.

The solution

One system that carries a sale from first quote to final payment: e-sign, deposits, vendor purchase orders, receiving, and delivery scheduling, with two-way accounting sync underneath.

Key capabilities

  • Quote to close — quoting and e-sign, deposits, and final payment in one thread.
  • Vendor operations — purchase orders, receiving, and delivery scheduling tied to the order.
  • Two-way QuickBooks sync — every dollar lands in accounting without re-keying.

Client web builds

Fast sites.
Yours to run.

Designed around what the business actually sells, readable on a phone, and easy to keep current without calling us first.

Client web build · Nonprofit

Nathaniel's House

A mission legible in ten seconds, and a donate path impossible to miss.

A Central Ohio nonprofit whose visitors mostly arrive on a phone, from a shared link. The build puts the mission and the way to help above everything else, and stays fast on a weak connection.

Client web build · Web app / game

HistoryPro

Three game modes, one fast, ad-free web app.

The daily puzzle, Chron-O-Grid, and Before or After — three ways to test the same knowledge, each with its own scoring. The build needed to feel instant on a phone, run new puzzles every day without a redeploy, and keep scoring and streaks working whether or not someone's signed in.

Client web build · Home services / trades

CCS Lawn Care

A trades-site template that works whether the truck says lawn care, HVAC, or drywall.

Services, a project gallery, reviews, and an online estimate request — the same page set any field trade needs to turn a phone visit into a booked job. This one's a Dublin, Ohio lawn care crew, built and hosted on RootControl's own site builder.

Open slots

Two seats open.
One could be yours.

We cap how many builds run at once, because the people who scope your project should be the people who ship it. Here's what's actually free right now.

Open slot 01

Your website here

One web build seat open.

The challenge

What isn't working? A site that crawls on a phone, doesn't say what you actually do, or can't be updated without calling someone.

The solution

A build designed around what you sell — fast, clear on a phone, easy for your team to keep current, and hosted by us.

Open slot 02

Your platform here

One software build seat open.

The challenge

What are you up against? The orders, the scheduling, the quoting — whatever's still held together by re-typing.

The solution

One system built around how you already work. Scoped with you first, fixed quote up front, then built and supported by the same team.
