Big Sky Tech Consulting
Front-counter & workflow automation ยท Main Street shops
Type it once. Your systems handle the rest.
For shops, offices, and restaurants: we connect your register, inventory, and books, and take the repetitive typing off your plate so your team can focus on customers.
What it looks like in your business
Live stock trackers
Give customers a live availability tracker on your website. When a bagel flavor drops below four at a location, your online store marks it "out of stock" on its own, so the counter isn't promising what it can't fill.
Inventory updates without typing
A manager snaps a photo of the morning's paper count. The system reads the numbers and updates your inventory software, so nobody re-types a list into a computer.
Connected software
We link the tools you already use. When a sale happens at the register, inventory updates and your books (QuickBooks and similar) stay in sync, with no re-entry at the end of the day.
Nightly vendor checks
Your system signs in to supplier websites each night, pulls current wholesale prices and stock, and drops a clean report in your inbox before you open.
AI ordering
Customers order in plain words on your website or by text ("two everything bagels and a dozen plain for 8am"). The AI checks your live stock and menu, confirms the order, and sends it straight to your counter or kitchen screen.
Pay by text
Once an order is confirmed, the customer gets a secure payment link by text (through Square, Stripe, or what you already use). Paid orders show up ready to make, and nobody reads card numbers over the phone.
More we build for businesses
Job tracking
One screen shows every job and where it stands. Customers get a text when work starts, when it's finished, and when it's ready to pick up.
Booking with reminders
Customers book online and get a reminder text the day before, so fewer appointments are missed.
Paper to tablet
Checklists, inspections, and sign-offs on a tablet, filed automatically as tidy PDFs.
AI for paperwork
Reads invoices, forms, and screenshots into clean data, and drafts replies to common customer emails for you to approve.
Reports and forecasts
Nightly sales summaries, easy dashboards, and forecasts built from your own history: busy hours, demand, and what to reorder.
Websites and private hosting
Websites and custom tools you own, running on your own server or a small box in your office with a cost you can plan around.
