Custom development

Built around your operation — not a template.

Purpose-built workflows, ERP, and integrations scoped to how your organization actually works — then maintained by the same team that built them.

What we build

Serious operators need systems that match the work — not another generic stack that fights the floor.

Workflows

Operations software mapped to your people, approvals, and handoffs — so the process lives in the system, not in someone’s head.

ERP & business systems

Order-to-cash, inventory, job tracking, and reporting shaped around how you actually run — not how a package assumes you should.

AI & agents

Knowledge retrieval, agent workflows, and model integrations wired into the apps we build — scoped to your data and your approvals. See AI capabilities →

Integrations

Connect the tools you already use. Payments, data feeds, partner systems, and internal apps wired so nothing falls between platforms.

Hosting & security

Deploy on-site, in Citinet data centers, or on AWS. HIPAA-ready work, government clearance where required, and infrastructure we stay with.

How engagements run

We scope what matters, ship in deliberate increments, and keep the same humans on the account after go-live. No outsourced help desks. No ticket theater.

Much of our custom work sits on proven application platforms — including Claris FileMaker where it fits — treated as infrastructure, not the brand. Citinet is a Claris Business Alliance member; we use the platform when it is the right tool, not because it is the pitch.

When a product already solves the problem — like Condor Outcomes for behavior tracking — we say so. When it doesn’t, we build. Payments land on Citinet Payments / NMI when card acceptance is part of the job.

Where the scar tissue shows

Two decades of custom systems for operators who needed software that matched the floor — not a template that fought it.

FileMaker / Claris builds

Publisher ops, consultant portals, campus records, manufacturing and job tracking — Claris FileMaker as durable infrastructure with dashboards, royalties, contracts, and day-to-day workflows. See the French Publishers’ Agency story.

Campus & human services

Digital transitions for residential programs and schools — HIPAA-aware records, supervisory visibility, and systems staff actually use on shift. Named work includes Lincoln Hall Boys’ Haven.

Construction & manufacturing

Next-gen database and job systems for firms that live on the floor — DeRaffele Manufacturing and peers who need order-to-cash and work orders that hold up. Press coverage lives on Clients & press.

HelpOne → Jute Harbor path

Contracts, work orders, owner portals, and flat-fee card rails — the same operating-system DNA that powers marina work in Jute Harbor. Product when it fits; custom when the yard is unique.

AI inside the build

Knowledge retrieval and agent workflows wired into the apps we ship — scoped to your data and approvals. Not a bolted-on chatbot. AI capabilities →
