Software consulting
Software that does the boring work.
Algobit is a software consultancy. We design, build and run web apps, automations and internal tools for teams still doing things by hand.
Fixed scope, plain-English quotes, a demo every week. You own everything we write. Our own product, certified payroll software, was built exactly this way, and it is in the field today.

What we build
If your team does it by hand, we can build it.
Six kinds of work we take on end to end: scoped small, priced up front, built in-house.
-
01
Web applications
Data model to deploy pipeline, one team, no hand-offs.
-
02
Automation & integrations
The copy-paste between your systems, gone. We own the glue nobody else wants.
-
03
Product MVPs
Napkin sketch to live product in weeks. Scoped small, built solid, demoed every Friday.
-
04
Internal tools
Reporting screens and workflow apps built around the person doing the work, not the org chart.
-
05
Data & reporting
Exports in, clean checked reports out. If it ends in a form, we can automate it.
-
06
Rescue & maintenance
Inherited a codebase with no docs and no owner? We stabilise it, document it and start shipping again.
Case study · live product
Algobit: certified payroll, solved.
A product we designed, built and run ourselves, the same way we would build yours.
Prevailing-wage contractors were retyping time cards, stubs and classifications into federal forms by hand: an hour per employee, every single week, on a report signed under penalty of perjury.
So we built the pipeline: the payroll they already run goes in, a checked WH‑347 or state report comes out. Wage determinations, fringes and apprentice ratios verified before anyone signs.
The weekly grind. Time cards, stubs, classifications, fringes, all retyped by hand, one worker at a time. A ten person crew took a full day.
Personal liability. Every report ends with a signed Statement of Compliance. A missed fringe or a wrong rate is the contractor’s problem, so they checked every line twice.
The deadline doesn’t move. Your report is done, your subcontractor’s is late, and the chasing never stops.
| Name | Classification | Hours | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| R. Alvarez | Laborer | 38.5 | $41.20 |
| D. Chen | Electrician | 40 | $48.75 |
| T. Okafor | Apprentice | 32 | $23.10 |
| M. Ruiz | Operator | 40 | $46.60 |
- Wage determinationLaborer, Group 2: $41.20 base. Matched.
- Fringe benefitsOwed $12.40 per hour. Paid in full.
- Apprentice ratio1 apprentice to 4 journeyworkers. Within limit.
- Hours on two jobsOvertime split across job sites. Review before you sign.
A stylized preview, not a screenshot. Your payroll in, a checked report out.
Process
Three steps from mess to shipped.
No black boxes. You see working software every two weeks, from day one.
0% through a typical build
-
01
Map it.
We sit with the people doing the work and map where the hours actually go. You get a written scope with a fixed price before a single line is built.
-
02
Build it.
Two-week sprints, with a working demo every Friday on a staging link you can click. Anything that does not match what you asked for gets flagged before it goes anywhere near production.
-
03
Run it.
We ship, monitor and iterate. On handover you own the repository, the infrastructure and the knowledge, or we stay on and run it with you.
Handover: repo, infra, docs. Nothing held back.
Why Algobit
Small team, senior hands, no theatre.
Four things we will not compromise on, whoever the client is.
-
The engineer.
No account managers, no hand-offs, no telephone game. You talk to the person writing your code, every week.
-
Yours, all of it.
Repository, infrastructure, data, documentation. If we disappeared tomorrow, nothing about your business stops.
-
Fixed, in writing.
You approve the scope and the number before we build. If the scope changes, we re-scope together, in plain English, not change-order theatre.
-
Small on purpose.
A short client list, senior engineers only, and we take on what we can do properly. If we are not the right build for it, we will say so.

Somewhere between a spreadsheet and a SaaS? Tell us where it hurts
I built Algobit after watching good contractors lose whole Fridays to certified payroll. The work on site is hard. The paperwork should not be harder, and the same is true in almost every business I look at.
Algobit is early. There are no vanity numbers on this page. There is a clear way of working, a short list of things we do properly, and a product in the field that proves the approach.
Tell me the worst part of your week. If software is the answer, I’ll build for that first.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What does an engagement look like?
A short discovery call, a written scope with a fixed price, then two-week sprints with a working demo at the end of each one. You can stop at any sprint boundary, for any reason.
What does it cost?
It depends on scope, and we quote before we build, so you approve the number first. As a benchmark: our certified payroll product replaces an outsourced service that commonly charges 15 to 50 dollars per report. We build software that pays for itself.
Who actually writes the code?
Our own engineers, the ones on your calls. Nothing is outsourced and nothing is handed to a subcontractor.
Do we own what you build?
Yes. Repository, infrastructure, data and documentation. Full ownership on handover, or we stay on and run it with you.
Can you work with our existing software?
Yes. Integrations, rescues and takeovers of inherited codebases are normal work for us. Bring the mess; that is usually where the hours are hiding.
Stop doing it by hand. Let’s build the thing.
