Custom software in New Jersey
We're a small software studio in central New Jersey. We build the internal tools, customer portals and automations that off-the-shelf apps don't quite cover, quote them at a fixed price and show you progress every week. You own everything we make.
The problem
Most custom software starts with one of these. If yours sounds like one of them, it's usually fixable without replacing everything you already use.
“The schedule lives in a spreadsheet three people edit at the same time.”
One app for jobs and schedules, where each person sees their own work and nothing gets overwritten.
“Customers call all day to ask where their order or appointment stands.”
A customer portal where they can check status, book and pay without picking up the phone.
“We pay for four apps and none of them talk to each other.”
Software that connects the tools you keep, so a job entered once shows up everywhere it's needed.
“Quotes and invoices eat an evening every week.”
Quotes built from your own price list and sent from the job, with the paperwork filled in from what's already there.
“We tried an off-the-shelf app and ended up working around it.”
Software built around how your team works now, so nobody has to bend a process that already works.
“The person who built our old system left, and nobody can change it.”
Plain, documented code in a repository you own, so anyone you hire later can pick it up.

Working with us
Senova was founded by Rob La Gravenis, who writes the code. Being close by helps, but it isn't the only reason people pick a small studio.
We can come to you
If you're in central New Jersey, we can meet at your office, shop or job site and see how the work happens today before writing the scope.
You talk to the builder
The person on the phone is the person building your software. There's no account manager passing notes along.
A fixed written quote
One price for the agreed scope, with dated milestones. It only changes if the scope does, and only with your OK.
Progress every week
A private preview link that grows each week. Click through it and tell us what to change while it's still easy to change.
Yours to keep
The code, the design and every account are in your name. If we stop working together, nothing goes with us.
Not only New Jersey
Most of the work happens over calls and preview links, so we take on projects anywhere in the US as well.
Our work
No client work is shown here yet. These are our own projects, each with a write-up of why it exists and how it was made.
Process
The same four steps for every project, whether it's a small tool or a full customer portal.
Step 1: Tell us what you need
Fill in the two-minute brief or book a short call. Plain words are fine; you don't need a spec.
Step 2: Get a fixed quote
A written scope, a fixed price and a dated plan. Free, with no obligation to go ahead.
Step 3: We build, you review weekly
A private preview link that grows every week. You click through it and tell us what to change.
Step 4: Launch and look after
We go live on accounts in your name, with optional ongoing help if you want it.
Your quote
Every project gets its own written quote before any work starts. For software, that usually comes after one call about how your team works today.
The scope
What we'll build, page by page or screen by screen, and what's out of scope, in plain words.
A fixed price
One price for the agreed scope. It only changes if the scope does, and only with your OK.
A dated timeline
When the first preview arrives, when each part lands and when you go live.
What you'll own
The code, the design and every account, in your name from day one.
Running costs, itemised
Hosting, email and any other services listed one by one, paid to each provider at cost.
FAQ
It depends on how many screens and user roles there are, and how many other systems it has to talk to. Two projects are rarely alike, so we don't publish prices. After a short call you get a written quote with one fixed price for the agreed scope.
