What we do

Three disciplines. One team.

We combine business consulting, technology implementation, and security expertise so you never have to manage three different vendors to solve one problem.

Operations & automation consulting

We audit your workflows, identify what's costing you time and money, and implement the tools that fix it — whether off-the-shelf or custom-built.

  • AI readiness assessment
  • Workflow automation design
  • Marketing & sales automation
  • Custom app development
  • Out-of-the-box tool identification

Security & compliance

We help businesses protect their operations and meet regulatory requirements before they become a liability — with 30+ years of software and compliance experience on the team.

  • Security vulnerability assessment
  • Compliance audit & gap analysis
  • HIPAA, data privacy & industry regs
  • Ongoing security monitoring
  • Software certification & hardening

Project & implementation management

Great strategy fails without disciplined execution. Our project management layer keeps complex engagements on track, on budget, and clearly communicated at every stage.

  • End-to-end implementation management
  • Milestone tracking & reporting
  • Change management consulting
  • Vendor & partner coordination
  • Technology adoption planning

How we build

A defined stack. Not a guessing game.

The market is flooded with developers stitching together whatever tool is trending that week. The result is technical debt — fragile prototypes that break under pressure and leave you dependent on whoever built them. We build on a deliberate, proven technology stack chosen for stability, security, and long-term maintainability. Future-proof foundations, not fragile shortcuts.

Frontend

Lovable + React

Rapid, production-grade UI development with a clean component architecture that scales without accumulating technical debt.

Backend & Database

Supabase

Enterprise-grade PostgreSQL infrastructure with built-in auth, row-level security, real-time data, and edge functions.

Automation

Make.com + Zapier

Battle-tested workflow automation platforms connecting your tools, triggers, and data pipelines without fragile custom code.

AI Integration

Claude · GPT · Gemini · Grok

We select the right AI engine for each use case rather than defaulting to one — and we know the meaningful differences between them.

What you get elsewhere

  • Technical debt from inconsistent tool choices
  • Fragile prototypes with no documentation
  • Security bolted on as an afterthought
  • Dependent on one developer's availability
  • Systems that break when someone goes dark

What you get with Certo

  • Future-proof foundations on a proven stack
  • Full documentation and knowledge transfer
  • Security and compliance built in from day one
  • A four-partner team, not a single point of failure
  • Systems built to be owned and maintained by you

Our work

Solutions we've built and run ourselves.

We don't just consult — we've built and operated the same kinds of systems we recommend to clients. These are two of our own.

Entertainment · Operations

Lockbox Escape Room

Plantation, Florida · Brick-and-mortar entertainment operator

Running a booking-based entertainment business exposed every operational gap that manual processes create — staffing coordination, customer follow-up, scheduling conflicts, and no centralized view of the business. We built a proprietary operations platform from the ground up to solve it.

The result is a custom business management platform covering employee onboarding, training assessments, scheduling, CRM, support ticketing, and internal communications — replacing five separate tools with one.

Trades · Estimating Software

FloorBid Pro

Flooring contractor · Estimating & job management platform

Flooring contractors were losing jobs not because of pricing, but because their estimating process was slow, inconsistent, and manual. Sales opportunities were slipping through the cracks while competitors with better tools closed faster.

FloorBid Pro is a purpose-built estimating and job management application that streamlines the quote-to-job pipeline, standardizes pricing, and gives contractors a professional client-facing experience that closes deals faster.

The team

Operators. Builders. Strategists.

Every engagement is led by a principal — someone who has run businesses, closed deals, managed crises, and shipped software. You get the partners, not the hand-off.
