What we do

Four capabilities, one connected stack.

Most studios sell you a website and stop there. We build the whole loop — the site captures the lead, the CRM holds it, the automation moves it, and the reporting tells you what happened. Each piece works alone; together they run the business.

Web Development

Full-stack web applications and marketing sites built for speed, SEO, and conversion — from single-page landers to multi-tenant platforms with role-based access.

  • Multi-tenant SaaS platforms with authentication and permissions
  • Technical SEO baked in — schema, sitemaps, metadata, Core Web Vitals
  • Rebuilds and rescues of slow or unmaintained existing sites

Automation & CRM

GoHighLevel setups, pipeline design, and self-hosted n8n workflows that handle the repetitive work — lead routing, follow-ups, email triage, and reporting.

  • Pipeline design mapped to how your team actually sells
  • Lead capture from forms, ads and web into one place — no lost leads
  • Automated follow-up sequences, task creation and internal alerts

AI Systems

Practical AI where it earns its keep: lead scoring, smart reply drafting, and inbox triage — running on local models or hosted APIs, with cost controls built in.

  • Lead scoring and enrichment that ranks the pipeline for you
  • Inbox triage — categorise, flag priority, draft replies
  • Document and record summarisation inside your existing tools
  • AI agents wired to real systems, not chat toys

  • One codebase, both platforms — iOS and Android from Flutter
  • Offline-first sync so the app works without a connection
  • Interactive maps, location data and accessibility information
  • Admin backends for managing content, media and users

How we work

Five phases, and you see working software in every one.

No black box. Every phase ends in something concrete you can open, click, or read — so you always know exactly what you're paying for and where the build stands.

01

Discovery & scoping

We start with your workflow, not your wishlist. What happens today, where it breaks, what a lead or a job actually touches on its way through your business, and what success looks like in numbers. We map the current system before proposing a new one.

You get: a written scope, a fixed quote, and a timeline
02

Architecture & plan

We decide the stack, the data model, and the integration points — which systems talk to which, where the data lives, and what happens when something fails. Choices get made for reasons we can explain to you, not because they're trendy.

You get: a technical plan and a milestone schedule
03

Build in weekly increments

We build in short cycles against a live staging URL you can open any time. Every week there is more working software than the week before, and you review it while it's still cheap to change direction.

You get: a staging link and a weekly walkthrough
04

Integrate, automate & test

The build gets connected to the rest of your world — CRM, forms, email, sheets, payment, whatever it needs to touch. Then we run it against real data, on real devices, and fix what breaks before your customers find it.

You get: a connected system tested end to end
05

Launch & handover

Deployment, domain, DNS and SSL, analytics, and a walkthrough with the people who'll use it daily. You leave with the credentials, the repository, and documentation written for your team — not for us.

You get: a live system, docs, training, and a support window

Boring, proven tools — chosen on purpose.

We pick technology you can hire for and we can hand over. Nothing here is exotic, and that's the point: your system should still be maintainable in three years, with or without us.

Ways to work with us

Three engagements, depending on what you need.

Not every problem is a full build. Sometimes it's one broken workflow, sometimes it's a platform from scratch, and sometimes you just need a team on hand every month.

Automation Sprint

~2 weeks · fixed scope

One specific problem, wired and shipped. Best when you already know what's broken and want it fixed without a long engagement.

  • One workflow, CRM pipeline, or integration
  • Audit of what exists today
  • Build, test on real data, and deploy
  • Handover documentation
Scope a sprint

Systems Retainer

Monthly · rolling

An ongoing development and automation team without hiring one. Best after launch, or when the system keeps evolving.

  • Reserved build capacity each month
  • Feature work, iteration and improvements
  • Automation and CRM maintenance
  • Monitoring, fixes and priority response
Discuss a retainer
The Team

Three founders. Hands on every build.

No account managers, no outsourcing chain — the people you talk to are the people writing the code and wiring the automations. We're based in Tacloban City, Philippines, and we work with clients across time zones.

Cedric Arnold S. Tomanda, founder at ACS Solutions

I don't call anything finished until it's running in production and actually earning its keep. A polished mockup isn't a system — shipping is, and that's the standard every project here is held to.

FOUNDER
Arth Kirvy A. Pernito, founder at ACS Solutions

Good automation should feel invisible. I like building the quiet infrastructure that runs in the background — the workflows and pipelines that just work, so our clients can focus on their business instead of their tools.

Arth Kirvy A. Pernito

FOUNDER
Carl Simon M. Ripalda, founder at ACS Solutions

The best software disappears into the hands of the person using it. I care about the small details — the ones most people never notice — because those are exactly what make an app feel effortless to use.

Questions

The things people ask before starting.

If your question isn't here, send it over — we'd rather answer it before you commit than after.

How long does a project take?
A marketing site is typically 3–5 weeks. A CRM implementation with automation runs 3–6 weeks. Custom web apps and mobile builds are usually 8–12 weeks depending on scope. You get a specific timeline with your quote — not a range — before anything starts.
How do you price work?
Fixed scope, fixed price. After discovery we send a written scope and a single number covering it. If you later want something outside that scope, we quote it separately and you decide — nothing gets added to your invoice without your approval.
Do we own the code and the accounts?
Yes, entirely. Domains, hosting, repositories, and platform accounts are created in your name and stay with you. On handover you receive every credential, the full source, and documentation. There is no lock-in.
Do you work with clients outside the Philippines?
Yes — most of our work is remote and several clients are overseas. We're in Philippine Standard Time (GMT+8) and schedule calls to overlap with your working hours. Day-to-day communication runs async so time zones don't slow the build down.
We already have a website and a CRM. Can you still help?
Often that's the better starting point. We audit what's there, keep what works, and fix or replace what doesn't. A lot of our work is connecting systems a business already pays for but that have never been wired together properly.
What happens after launch?
Every project build includes a post-launch support window for fixes and adjustments. After that you can leave it running, handle it in-house with the documentation we provide, or move onto a monthly retainer for ongoing work.
Can you work alongside our existing team?
Yes. We regularly work with in-house marketers, VAs and developers. We use standard tools and document decisions specifically so other people can work in the same codebase without needing us to explain it.
What do you need from us to start?
A conversation about what's not working, access to the systems you already use, and one person on your side who can make decisions. That's enough for discovery — we handle the technical requirements from there.
