Next Layer
We find the manual work slowing your company down, then build the internal tools, apps and automations to remove it. From one approval inside Slack to the software your entire operation runs on.
Built by people who have shipped software at
A decade of building production software before starting Next Layer.
01 / What We Build
We build what the operation is missing, from internal tools and full products to focused automation. The right shape depends on where the bottleneck is.
Replace spreadsheets, disconnected systems and manual admin with one tool built around your operation.
Build the product from an empty repo to production, including accounts, permissions, payments and the admin side.
Remove steps without asking the team to learn another dashboard. Approvals happen in the tools they already use.
Read documents, match records and draft the boring reply. A person approves anything that moves money or touches a customer.
Connect accounting, CRM, billing and spreadsheets so the operation can work from one set of numbers.
We monitor, fix and change what we ship as the business changes. The team that builds it stays responsible for it.
You do not need to know which category fits. Bring us the bottleneck and we will figure that out with you.
02 / Selected Work
A few examples of the work, shown as Before, Built and Result. The visuals are intentionally replaceable with real product screenshots when available.
Freight
Dispatchers manually reviewed tenders, checked drivers and compared information across systems.
Inbound tenders are parsed, the right driver is matched, and the dispatcher receives one approval card directly in Slack.
Product visual slot. Replace with the real deployment screenshot when available.
Field service
Scheduling, job photos, parts and invoicing lived across three separate tools for forty technicians.
A platform built from an empty repo that brings the field workflow into one place.
Product visual slot. Replace with the real platform screenshot when available.
Distribution
Orders, stock and exceptions were spread across fourteen spreadsheets and a group chat.
One internal console brings the operation's orders, stock and exceptions onto one screen.
Product visual slot. Replace with the real console screenshot when available.
Finance
Someone had to open every invoice and check its lines against the purchase order.
Invoice lines are checked against the purchase order before a human opens the invoice, with exceptions sent to Teams.
Product visual slot. Replace with the real deployment screenshot when available.
Manufacturing
Customers needed to email the team for order status and updates.
Customers place orders and check status themselves against live stock and their own pricing.
Product visual slot. Replace with the real portal screenshot when available.
Software
Renewal quotes waited on usage checks, discount rules and paperwork across separate steps.
Usage is pulled, discount rules are applied, and renewal paperwork is drafted in the inbox for one-tap approval.
Product visual slot. Replace with the real deployment screenshot when available.
04 / How We Work
Walk us through the process, spreadsheet, inbox, system or repetitive task that's creating problems.
We map the workflow, estimate the impact and tell you what we'd automate, what we'd turn into software, and what we would leave alone.
The same team designs, builds, ships and maintains the system. No handoff to a random implementation team.
05 / About Us
The people on the first call are the people who design and build the system. No sales team, no handoff, no layers of project management.
10 years building production software across iOS, Mac and web. Designs and ships the systems we build.
Maps what inefficient workflows cost in time and money so we know what is actually worth fixing.
06 / Start Here
Show us one process that takes too long, requires too many people, or still runs through spreadsheets, email or WhatsApp. We'll tell you how we'd fix it and whether it's worth building.
A short note about what is slow is enough. We will send times for a call.
Thanks. We will email you with times for a call.
