Information stops at the handoff.
Your tools each hold part of the picture. Connecting them can give the next person what they need to move the work forward.
Connecting your toolsWhat’s your biggest
constraint?
I help small and midsize businesses in North New Jersey connect their tools and simplify everyday work. We’ll start with what’s slowing you down.
You’ll work directly with me, Frank Stallone. I led product design for Roll by ADP.
Skin Schema
Client example
Find suitable brands. Research their products. Prepare Instagram drafts for human review in the CRM.This illustration follows the fictional Example Skincare brand from discovery through research into its botanical serum launch. The resulting personalized message is ready for a person to review before sending.
Where does the
work get stuck?
A constraint might sit between systems, inside a team’s process, or in the way customers work with you. These are a few places software can help.
Work waits for a decision.
Quotes, requests, and approvals sit in separate places. A shared workflow can show what needs attention and who needs to act.
Organizing the workCustomers have to chase an update.
Customers need details before they can take the next step. A place to check progress, share information, and approve work can keep things moving.
Working with your customers
The Skin Schema story
Brand research and outreach, together for review.
For Kseniya at Skin Schema, the constraint was researching suitable brands and preparing personalized outreach.
I built a workflow that gathers brand research and prepares Instagram drafts in one place. Kseniya reviews the context and each message before sending.

USD averages across two months before and two months after rollout. The workflow was one part of the business’s work.
Working together.
We’ll look at the constraint with the people who know the work, then agree on a useful first step.
Hi, I’m Frank.
I bring decades of experience across IT, software design, and development, from IT support to payroll software for small businesses. You’ll work directly with me to understand the problem, choose a useful first step, and build software around the people doing the work.
A little more about meUnderstand the constraint.
I’ll start with you and the people doing the work. We’ll walk through the process, the exceptions, and what’s getting in the way.
Agree on a useful scope.
An existing product or a connection between your tools may be enough. We’ll agree on a useful scope and how we’ll know it helped.
Build and test it together.
I’ll work with the people who’ll use it as I design, build, and test it. We’ll put working software in their hands and learn from how it fits the work.
Plan for life after launch.
We’ll launch with a clear handover and agree on who’s responsible for ongoing care. That can include maintenance, further improvements, or a handover to your team.
And where does AI fit?
AI can help with the build or be part of the finished software when it fits the work. We’ll choose the tools around what your business needs.
A few practical
questions.
What should I bring to the first conversation?
Bring the constraint, a walkthrough of how you handle it today, and the tools involved. You don’t need a software specification. We’ll work out whether software would help.
How are projects priced?
First, we’ll talk through the constraint, its value to your business, and the work involved. Then we’ll agree on scope, price, milestones, and what success looks like. We’ll discuss ongoing care and its costs separately.
How does ownership work?
We’ll agree on software and account ownership as part of the scope. The handover will cover hosting, access, and who’s responsible for keeping things running.
What happens after launch?
Before launch, we’ll agree on the right support. That might mean maintenance, maintenance with an ongoing queue of improvements, or a documented handover. We’ll make sure backups, responsibilities, and support coverage are clear.
Let’s start with
your constraint.
Tell me what’s getting in the way, how you handle it today, and what you’d like to change. You don’t need a software specification to start.
