Enterprise-grade custom software built for small businesses — at lean business prices. We replace bloated subscriptions with tools that work exactly the way you work.
Multiple SaaS fees for tools that barely fit your workflow add up fast — often topping $1,000/month for a 10-person team.
Off-the-shelf software forces you to adapt your business to fit it — not the other way around.
You rent forever. Prices rise. Features disappear. You have no leverage and no exit.
Bloated platforms slow your team down daily with features no one ever uses.
At HollisterSmith, we are a lean, focused team of builders with a single mandate: find exactly where technology is holding your business back, and build the precise tool that moves you forward — for less than you're probably paying right now.
Because we operate lean, we don't carry the overhead of big tech firms. We pass those savings directly to you — delivering enterprise-caliber software at small business prices. You get the builders. Not the middlemen.
Purpose-built software for the way your business actually operates.
From CRMs to job management to internal dashboards — we build exactly what your team needs, with zero unnecessary features or bloat.
Aging software slowing you down? We migrate old systems to fast, modern, mobile-ready platforms — cutting maintenance costs and eliminating risk.
Stop paying people to do what software should handle. We automate repetitive tasks — invoicing, scheduling, reporting — freeing your team for growth.
Your team works in the field. We build mobile-optimized applications that work on any device, online or offline — purpose-built for how your crew operates.
We connect the tools you already love — QuickBooks, Google Workspace, industry platforms — eliminating duplicate entry and manual data syncing.
Not sure where to start? We map your current tech stack, identify your biggest inefficiencies, and deliver a clear, prioritized roadmap. No jargon.
We don't hand you a 40-page proposal and disappear for six months. Our process is built for small businesses that need results, not complexity.
A plain conversation about your business, your workflow, and your pain points. No tech jargon. Free.
We review your current tech spend and map what to build, drop, and integrate. Delivered in plain English.
A precise scope with a fixed price. No hourly surprises. You know the full cost before we begin.
Short build cycles with regular check-ins. You see progress and give feedback throughout. Never in the dark.
We train your team, handle go-live, and stay engaged. Ongoing support plans available.

Because we operate lean, we don't carry the overhead of big tech firms — no sprawling sales teams, no layers of account management, no enterprise markup. We pass those savings directly to you, delivering Fortune 500 caliber software at small business prices.
Custom software is an asset, not a subscription. It grows with you without price hikes.
Add users, locations, or features — your cost doesn't spike because you grew.
We build tools that connect to what you already use — not another silo.
We focus on industries where thousands of small operators deserve better software than what's available.
We were spending over $1,200 a month on four different software subscriptions that still didn't talk to each other. HollisterSmith replaced all of them with one tool built exactly for how we operate. We now pay a fraction of that.
Our crew was still texting job updates to the office and someone manually entering them into a spreadsheet. Now everything is automated. We save about 10 hours a week just on admin alone.
I didn't think we were big enough for custom software. Turns out, that's exactly the wrong way to think about it. This is the best business investment we've made in years.
Let us review your current technology expenses and show you exactly where you can save money and gain efficiency. No obligation. No sales pressure. Just clarity.
