Senior-grade integrations, workflow automation, and custom internal tools for small businesses — at fixed prices 25–35% below typical agency quotes. No hourly meter. No account managers. You own everything we build.
FIXED SCOPE · 48-HR PROPOSALS · 30-DAY POST-LAUNCH WARRANTY · VETERAN-OWNED
Orders land in the store, then get keyed into accounting, then into a shipping sheet. Businesses routinely burn double-digit hours a week on data that should move itself.
The off-the-shelf connector syncs 80% of what you need, and the missing 20% is exactly the part your business runs on. That gap is what custom integration is for.
You asked for a two-system sync and got a five-figure proposal with a project manager attached. Small business scope deserves small business pricing.
We take your three most painful manual workflows and automate them end-to-end on Zapier, Make, n8n, or lightweight custom code — whichever your volume actually justifies.
e.g., new order → invoice created → customer tagged → fulfillment notified → owner's daily digest.
Custom API integration between two core systems where connectors fall short: field-level mapping, error handling, retries, and logs you can actually read.
e.g., Shopify ↔ QuickBooks with your exact SKU, tax, and multi-location rules — not the connector's rules.
Internal web tools your team actually needs: order dashboards, quote calculators, client portals, reporting that pulls from every system at once.
e.g., a live margin dashboard joining storefront, ad spend, and COGS — refreshed hourly.
Monitoring, maintenance, and a bank of change-hours so your automations keep working when the apps they connect inevitably update.
Includes uptime alerts, monthly health report, and priority response.
These are typical published market ranges for small-business automation and integration work in 2026, next to our fixed launch pricing. Every project is quoted precisely after a free discovery call — the quote arrives within 48 hours and it doesn't move.

Market ranges reflect published 2025–2026 pricing guides for small-business automation, AI implementation, and custom API integration work. Your quote is always fixed-scope: if we blow the estimate, that's our problem, not your invoice.
30 minutes. You describe the manual work; we map the systems behind it. No pitch deck.
Exact price, exact deliverables, exact timeline. 50% deposit books your build slot.
AI-accelerated build, human-verified against your real data. You see progress, not status meetings.
Plain-English runbook, all credentials in your accounts, and a 30-day fix-anything warranty.
Typical agency quotes carry offices, account managers, and hourly billing that rewards slowness. Deckplate runs the opposite way: AI-accelerated senior engineering, fixed scopes, and zero middle layer between the person who scoped your project and the person who builds it.
We're transparent about the method — automation and AI do the repetitive engineering, and a human owner verifies every workflow against your live data before handoff. That's how the same build costs a third less and ships in half the time.
And everything is yours: your accounts, your API keys, your code, your documentation. If we disappeared tomorrow, your systems wouldn't notice.
Tell us what's being done by hand and which systems are involved. We'll reply within one business day with call times — and you'll have a fixed-scope proposal within 48 hours of the call.
