About

Who you'll be working with.

Schaefer Watson Solutions is a small firm on purpose. There is no account manager between you and the people writing the code. The founders scope the work, build it, and answer the phone afterwards.

Why we started this

Most bottlenecks are not technology problems yet

They are a process that grew up around whatever tools were to hand: a spreadsheet that became a database, an inbox that became a queue, a software package bought for one feature and paid for in full every year since.

We started Schaefer Watson because businesses in that position rarely get a straight answer about what a modern fix looks like, what it would cost, or whether it is worth doing at all. Large providers sell them a platform. Freelancers sell them hours.

We sell a defined outcome: a system built around your process, owned by you, priced for the size of the problem.

How we're different

Three commitments


Exact fit

We build the functionality your problem needs and stop. Features that exist to justify a licence tier do not appear.


No noise

Fewer screens, fewer clicks, fewer things to train people on. A system your team can run without us in the room.


A fraction of the cost

No per-seat pricing, no modules you do not use, hosting measured in tens of dollars a month. You pay for the build, then you own it.

The S/W mark

The name

S/W

The standard abbreviation for software, and Schaefer slash Watson. Two names, one slash, no ornament: it is how we would like the work to feel as well.

A short conversation is usually enough to tell whether custom software is the right fix, and what it would take.
