jig builds the internal tools your team runs by hand today — the trackers, approvals and reports living in spreadsheets and email. Live in about a week, and yours to keep.
The maths
Every spreadsheet, re-typed figure and email chase is time your team isn't spending on the work you hired them for. Put in your own numbers.
A $3,000 build week pays for itself in about 4 weeks at this rate.
Illustrative — 46 working weeks a year. Bring your real numbers to the free discovery call and we'll size the tool, and the saving, properly.
Why this happens
Not because anyone chose it. Because the alternative — a software project — has always been too slow, too expensive, or too generic to fit.
A critical process living in a document that only stays correct if everyone remembers the rules.
Sign-offs buried in threads. Ask who approved what, and the honest answer is a search.
Numbers re-typed into every system because nothing talks to anything else.
The formula, the macro, the workaround. When they leave, the process leaves with them.
What it costs: hours of admin every week, decisions made on numbers that are already out of date, and a team working around its software instead of with it.
What we build
One tool to replace a single spreadsheet, or a connected set of tools running an entire department. It's the same process either way — the scope is whatever your work needs.
Shipments, assets, contracts, cases, applications — one source of truth your whole team can see and update.
Requests routed to the right person, with a permanent record of who approved what and when.
The weekly report built automatically from live data, instead of someone's Friday afternoon.
Clients, deals and relationships tracked the way your business works — not a generic sales template.
Hiring, onboarding and offboarding as repeatable flows, with nothing chased over email.
Your existing tools connected, so data moves on its own. No exports, no copy-paste, no reconciliation.
How it works
No specification to write, no stack to choose, no project to manage. You show us the process; we hand back a working tool.
A short call. You walk us through what's manual today and what it costs you. No deck, no scoping document, no commitment — you leave with a written scope either way.
Our team builds the tool against your process, and you see it working as it comes together rather than at the end. You approve the scope before any build starts.
It goes live with real logins and permissions, on your own workspace. From there we host it, maintain it, and fix anything that breaks.
Bigger workflows take longer than a week. We'll tell you what it will take before you commit to anything — and you only pay for build weeks you approve.
What you get
This is a purchase approval tool — one of the most common first builds. Every jig tool is production software your team can use on day one, not a demo that needs a developer to survive.
| Request | Submitted by | Amount | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Van lease renewal — Q3 | Ops · A. Fernando | $4,250 | Awaiting |
| Site safety equipment | Warehouse · R. Silva | $1,180 | Approved |
| Contractor invoice — Unit 12 | Projects · M. Haddad | $12,900 | Awaiting |
| Software renewal — design suite | Marketing · J. Perera | $620 | Approved |
| Overtime — month end close | Finance · K. Aziz | $2,340 | Rejected |
Your team logs in with their work account. Only the right people can see or approve anything.
Every action is recorded — who submitted, who approved, what changed and when.
Thresholds, escalation, sign-off order and exceptions — set the way your business actually works.
In practice: one client's deal material turnaround went from three weeks to three days, with their weekly portfolio review assembled automatically instead of by hand.
Read the case studiesThe alternatives
There are two usual ways to get internal software without commissioning a build. Each one gives up something you need.
| Off-the-shelf software | AI coding tools | jig | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built for your exact process | ✕ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Secure: logins, permissions, audit trail | ✓ | ✕ | ✓ |
| Live in weeks, not months | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Hosted, maintained and supported for you | ✓ | ✕ | ✓ |
| Someone to call when it breaks | ✓ | ✕ | ✓ |
| You own the code and the data | ✕ | ✓ | ✓ |
| No lock-in, no exit cost | ✕ | ✓ | ✓ |
A tool you can't leave isn't ownership. A tool nobody maintains isn't software. You need both at once.
Building it properly with a development partner is a third option, and often the right one when scope is large and fixed. jig is for the smaller internal tool that never gets its own project.
Ownership
The code, the data, the accounts. If you ever want to leave, you take the software with you and it keeps running.
Request the complete source code for every tool we've built for you. No permission needed, no conditions attached.
Request a full export at any time, in a clean, portable format you can load anywhere else.
Keep it on jig or run it on your own servers. Every tool is built to work independently of us.
Your data and infrastructure are isolated from every other client. Never shared, never mixed.
Manage it like any subscription. No lock-in period, no exit penalty, no negotiation.
If jig ever shuts down, you receive your complete data and source code with no conditions.
Your teams don't always start from scratch. Most already have something working — a prototype someone built with an AI tool, quietly used by a few people with no logins, no security and no owner. BYOA takes what exists and rebuilds it properly on jig: same logic, real security, someone to call when it breaks.
Security
The questions your IT and legal teams will ask, answered before they ask them.
Your infrastructure is separated from every other client by architecture, not policy. No shared databases.
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit. Encrypted from the moment data enters the platform.
Role-based permissions per tool and per user, managed by your team. Full audit log of every access change.
DPA, completed security questionnaire and sub-processor list on request. You stay the data controller.
Pricing
Discovery is free and your first tool is hosted at no monthly cost. After that you pay for building and for hosting — separately, and only for what you actually use.
A short session where we map the process and tell you exactly what it would take. You keep the written scope whether or not you go ahead.
1 tool, up to 25 users, with the AI support agent. Running costs are on us while you prove the model.
Each week of build is scoped and approved before it starts. Simple tools take one week. Connected workflows take more.
No commitment until you see working software. Hosting plans, the full build-cost breakdown and a cost estimator are on the pricing page.
Get started
Bring the one workflow that wastes the most time. Discovery is free, your first tool is live within a week, and you own everything from day one.
Book free discovery →jig is built by Skaleminds, a technical consultancy with over seven years of delivery experience across the US, Europe and MEA. That experience is what makes a working tool possible in a week — and what keeps it running after everyone else has moved on.
