Software development
Piton designs, builds and operates software — healthcare, business and personal platforms. We ship the unglamorous parts too: the access control, the audit trail, the escalation paths, and the reporting that shows whether any of it worked.
What we build
The same engineering standard in each. What changes is how much the setting punishes getting it wrong.
Software for the work around care rather than the chart itself — scheduling, procedure records, credentialing, facility reporting and billing reconciliation. Built to what the setting requires: access enforced per role, an audit trail that survives a records request, and figures a hospital can check against its own invoice. One platform of ours runs in production today.
The systems a company actually runs on and nobody sells well: intake and dispatch, contractor payroll, document retention, renewals, the reconciliation between what was delivered and what was invoiced. Built against your real process instead of bending the process to fit a product.
Focused software for a single job — tracking, records, reporting — where the off-the-shelf option would mean giving up the part that made it worth doing. Small scope is not an excuse for a weak data model or a missing backup.
What comes as standard
These are not add-ons and they are not a later phase. A platform without them is a prototype, whatever it looks like on the screen.
Who can see what, enforced at the database rather than in the screen that happens to be open. A hidden button is not a permission.
Who did what, when, and what it looked like before. Written as the action happens, not reconstructed afterwards from logs.
What the system does when the expected thing does not happen — nothing important should depend on somebody noticing.
Exports that agree with the source, and say so plainly when they cannot — a total that is quietly wrong is worse than no total.
How it goes
Each stage ends in something written down, so you can stop at the end of any one of them and still be holding something useful.
We map the work as it runs now — the steps, the handoffs, and the places it breaks.
Data model, access model and the screens, agreed before anything is built on top of them.
Shipped in increments to an environment you can log into and use, not demoed from a laptop.
We operate and maintain it, or hand it over with the documentation to run it yourself.

A first conversation is about your process, not our software. If we are not the right fit for it we will say so early.
