Off-the-shelf software usually has too much here and too little there. fwdlab builds around how you actually operate, from Apps Script for the Google Sheet you already use to a Web App or an application for the whole business.
A few things customers often ask fwdlab to build. Depending on scale, it can be Apps Script, a Web App or a custom application.
Stock in, stock out and inventory right on your phone, low-stock alerts, COD order reconciliation.
Staff clock in on their phones; the system calculates workdays, overtime and late arrivals and exports the payroll.
Store customer details and appointments, remind follow-ups and assign customers to each staff member.
Customers pick an open slot, no double bookings, and get an automatic confirmation. Great for spas, clinics and studios.
Revenue, costs and profit update automatically from the numbers you enter each day, viewable on your phone.
Connect forms, Google Sheets, Zalo and email into one automatic flow, cutting out repetitive steps.
Custom Web Apps and software for each industry — healthcare, trade, manufacturing.
Built a shared operating system for the whole hospital: the board assigns work to each department and tracks progress on a single screen. Briefings, performance reviews, duty rosters and operating targets all live on one platform — leadership sees the full picture without compiling reports by hand from many sources.
Replaced generic sales software with a system built for the aluminum and glass trade — where one item can be sold by square meter, sheet, weight or carton. Prices, stock, invoices and receivables reconcile automatically: staff sell faster at the right price, and the owner knows exactly what's in stock and what each customer owes.
Digitized timekeeping and payroll for a garment company with complex pay: time-based plus piece-rate pay by production stage, with many allowances and overtime types. Staff clock in by GPS on their phones and payroll is calculated automatically under the company's own rules — sharply cutting reconciliation time and errors every pay period.
Each approach has its strengths. The table below shows where fwdlab is different.
| Made by fwdlab | Monthly subscription software | Hiring a development team | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Method | Apps Script, Web App or custom application, chosen by scale | One package for every customer | Usually builds big systems, hard to start small |
| Costs | Pay once based on scope, no maintenance fees | Monthly fees that grow with the number of users | Expensive, often with extra maintenance fees |
| Process | Built around how you actually operate | You change how you work to fit the software | Made to order, needs a detailed brief |
| As your business grows | Grow step by step from Sheets to Web Apps and applications | Upsold to higher plans, data hard to take with you | Often needs extra work or rework |
| Timing | Days for Apps Script and Web Apps. Large applications follow a phased roadmap | Ready to use | Months |
| Ownership | The product is yours, for the long term | Stop paying and you stop using it | Depends on the contract terms |
Give real value, bringing the right management tools to every scale, from individuals and teams to large enterprises.
