IT Consulting for Business

Requests reach us already shaped as solutions: we need a stock app, a new website, a till connected to the warehouse. The first job of an IT consultant is to hold that request back one step and ask what actually happens between an order arriving and the money being recorded.

That mapping happens next to the people using the system, not in the procedure manual. A manual describes how work is meant to flow, while the admin taking orders has a shortcut she uses daily because the official route is too slow. Those shortcuts are what shape the new system.

Only once the flow is clear do we work out what deserves building. Some needs are settled by one module at IDR 5,000,000 a year, others by changing how a single spreadsheet is filled in. Building something unnecessary only adds one more thing to maintain and pay for every year.

A systems audit follows an order anyone can repeat, and it starts with data. Pull one week of transactions from every place records are kept, then reconcile the totals. When the till, the warehouse spreadsheet, and the finance report disagree, the first piece of work is found without buying any tooling.

The next layer is access and recovery. We ask who holds the owner account on the hosting, who can delete production data, and when a backup was last restored into an empty environment to prove it works. A backup nobody has restored is not a backup, just a reassuring large file.

The last layer is performance and integration: page speed on mobile data, whether records move between systems automatically or get copied by hand each morning, and what happens when a connection fails. An integration that fails silently produces reports that still look tidy while missing two weeks of records.

The finding that repeats most is not outdated technology, it is ownership. The domain turns out to be registered to a former employee or an old vendor, and nobody notices until the site has to move. We sell domains separately and register them to the client, because losing an address customers already know is expensive.

The second finding is the same data retyped in several places. Stock goes into the warehouse book, then a spreadsheet, then the online store. Every copy is a chance to be wrong, and once the numbers disagree none can be trusted. The fix is one module as the source of truth, with everything else reading from it.

The third finding is a system only its builder can operate. A building materials distributor came to us that way: the app ran on one laptop, nobody knew the database password, and no employee could change a price list without waiting on an outsider.

A useful roadmap has one job: deciding what gets done first when budget and time are short. The order we use never changes. Fix what loses money today, then build what brings money in next month, then make daily work more comfortable. Clients almost always ask for that third item first.

Each stage is written so it can be stopped without breaking the one before it. An SEO website from IDR 5,000,000 per year can run first and stand alone, then modules are added one at a time at IDR 5,000,000 per module per year, with every 5 modules bundled at IDR 20,000,000 per year.

The output can go to your own team or another vendor, and the document is written to stay useful in other hands: module names, the data each one holds, the rules that apply, and the build order. A consultant who hides detail so nobody else can continue is protecting their position, not your business.

If the build comes to us, the numbers match our price list: a landing page from IDR 2,000,000 per year, ready in 3 to 5 working days, a company profile site from IDR 3,000,000 per year for up to 50 pages, an SEO website from IDR 5,000,000 per year. Each package includes hosting, SSL, the server, a WhatsApp group, and a year of unlimited revisions, while the domain is bought separately in your name.
