01 / THE HEAD
Most software is built for the head.
Everyone else makes do.
Spreadsheets. Whiteboards. Five apps that don't talk to each other.
THE TAIL
I build for the tail.
The businesses off-the-shelf software was never made for. Software shaped around how you actually work.
02 / YOUR BUSINESS
Take any one of them.
HOW IT RUNS TODAY
A spreadsheet, five apps, and 9:47 pm.
WHAT I BUILD
I take how you actually work…
WHAT I BUILD
…and build it into one tool.
Shaped around your business, not the other way round.
03 / THE WORK
Different business, different software.
Tap one, or let it play.
001 · TEAMS
One system for the whole team.
Everyone on one system.
CRMs, scheduling and payroll, built around the people who actually use them.
Nothing falls through the cracks.
Every lead has an owner, a next step and a date.
Payroll in one tap.
Hours from the job site turn into paychecks. No spreadsheet in between.
002 · HOSPITALITY
A full booking system for a boutique hotel.
Every room, every night.
ROOMS · RATES · PAYMENTS · GUESTS
Every booking, handled.
Reminders and review requests go out on their own.
003 · ROOFING
Measure and quote from the truck.
Measure it from the driveway.
Snap the roof. Pitch, squares and measurements come back before you're out of the truck.
28.4 SQUARES · 4 LAYERS · 0 LADDERS
Every layer, counted for you.
Quote sent before you back out.
04 / HOW IT WORKS
A short call
Tell me how the business runs today and where it hurts. No jargon.
A clear plan
A written plan you sign off on before any work starts.
Built with you
You see progress as it's built and can change course along the way.
Looked after
I keep it running and add what you need as you grow.
05 / YOUR LIGHT
One pin's still empty.
This one could be yours.
One call is usually enough to know whether custom software is worth it for you. If it isn't, I'll tell you.
WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH
Hi, I'm Miles.
Longtail is a one-person software studio in St. Louis. The person you talk to is the person who builds it, and the person who answers when you call.
