Nichols SoftwareSoftware that runs your business, not just your website.
We build custom web applications, databases, and APIs that replace fragile spreadsheets and duplicate data entry. We also make StinkBugs, a platform for building sites and CRMs.
Custom software built around how you actually work.
You help design every application we build. We handle the engineering, security, and long-term support.
Application development
With a spreadsheet that several people edit by hand, one wrong keystroke can do real damage, and there's no audit trail to trace it. We replace those spreadsheets with real applications.
