Small businesses today have access to an expansive suite of software products that, individually, provide functionalities vital to enabling businesses to transact. However, these solutions are often designed with numerous compromises that make them marketable to the mass market. This is problematic in that specific needs either cannot be met or require extensive manipulation. We need someone genuinely interested in building software tools that are intuitive to general administration and business folks and that play nicely with our existing tech stack. We are of course open to the implementation of these tools from varying frameworks and languages.
