Your business has outgrown its patchwork of apps.

Spreadsheets, subscriptions and copy-paste between systems cost more than anyone has added up. I replace them with one platform built around how your business actually runs, and you own every line of it.

Sound familiar?

Most owners never hit a single breaking point. They just work around their tools a little more every month.

The same order gets typed into more than one system.

There’s a spreadsheet only one person really understands.

Inventory never quite matches between your store, wholesale and events.

Your Zapier or integration bill climbs every time you grow.

You pay for a dozen subscriptions and use a fraction of each.

When the owner steps away, things slow down or stop.

Three or more of these? Your patchwork is probably costing more than you think. Get it measured →

How it works

Small, fixed-price steps. You see working software early and never sign up for a year of guesswork.

Step 1

Stack audit

I map every tool, workaround and hour your operation runs on. You get a clear recommendation: build, buy, or fix what you have. Sometimes the answer is “don’t build.”

Fixed price · credited toward a build

Step 2

Build in phases

The workflows that hurt most go into production first. Each phase has a fixed price and a fixed scope, so there’s no hourly meter running.

Fixed price per phase

Step 3

You own it

Code in your repository, hosting in your account, documentation for everything. Keep me on a support plan, or don’t. No lock-in either way.

No per-seat or per-order fees

Platforms I’ve built and run

Not concepts. Real systems carrying real orders, tickets and inventory every day.

Community Ticketing

eventDSM

MM built a multi-tenant event ticketing platform that saves organizers 70% on fees while giving them complete control. EventDSM.com and DSMpay.com deliver what Eventbrite charges $3+ per ticket for at just $19-99/month—including automated SSL, triple payment processing (Stripe/PayPal/Venmo), QR code validation, real-time analytics, and a mobile-optimized dashboard. The entire system runs uses a zero per-ticket fees system, turning event management into a profitable operation instead of a cost center.

Inventory Platform

WMS Intelligence

A warehouse management system for mid-sized distributors and manufacturers running Acumatica. Workers follow guided steps on handheld scanners, managers see the floor in real time, and every transaction posts back to the ERP on its own.

Team AI All-Stars

A platform where businesses build teams of AI agents that handle email, research and scheduling on their own. People approve the actions that matter, every run is recorded and each customer's data stays separate.

Software that adds to what your business is worth.

Rented apps don’t transfer as value. A documented platform you own can, if a buyer’s due diligence can trust it. Everything I build is made to pass that test.

In your name

Code in your repository, hosting in your account, your domains and your data. Nothing is held hostage.

Documented

Architecture, workflows and operations written down, so the system doesn’t live in one person’s head. Including mine.

Transferable

A handover package ready for due diligence, and support that carries over to a new owner.

Straight pricing

Fixed prices, quoted up front. No hourly meter, no per-seat fees, no surprise invoices.

Stack audit

$2,500

Two to three weeks. A map of every tool, workaround and hour, plus a build, buy or fix recommendation. Credited in full toward a build.

Book an audit

Phase 1 build

From $15K

The working core in production first: the workflows that cost you the most. Fixed scope and price, quoted after the audit.

Talk about a build

Support plan

$500/mo

Updates, security patches, hosting oversight and small improvements. Optional, and it transfers if you sell.

Ask about support

If a custom platform isn’t the right answer for you, the audit will say so.

Hi, I’m Rich Duncan.

I’ve spent more than 20 years building systems businesses can’t afford to have go down, including 24 warehouse management implementations and leading a warehouse software company’s move from on-premises to SaaS.

Midnight Mice is how I bring that experience to small and mid-sized companies: one senior builder from first conversation to launch, based right here in Des Moines.

You’ll talk to me, not a sales team.
