SOFTWARE · AUTOMATION · CONSULTING

Custom software that works the way your business does.

We build web apps, automations and integrations that cut busywork, so your team can spend its time on customers instead of spreadsheets.

100% satisfaction guaranteed. You only pay when you're happy.

WHAT WE DO

Four ways we help.

Custom web apps

Tools built around how your team works: scheduling, tracking, customer portals, internal dashboards.

Automation and integrations

Connect the apps you already pay for and stop copying data between them by hand. Add an AI assistant that answers customer questions or sorts new requests.

Websites and branding

A logo, colors and a clear website that make your business look as good as its work, set up so customers can find you on Google and AI search.

Technical consulting

Not sure what to build or buy? We'll look at your process and give you a straight answer.

HOW IT WORKS

Simple process. No surprises.

  1. Listen

    We watch how the work gets done today and find where time is lost.

  2. Plan

    You get a clear scope, timeline and price before any code is written.

  3. Build

    Short cycles with working demos, so you see progress every week.

  4. Support

    We stay on after launch to fix, tune and grow what we built.

100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEED

You only pay when you're happy with it.

We take on the risk, not you. The software gets built first, and you pay once it does what you need.

  • Nothing up front

    No deposit. You don't pay anything while we build.

  • Pay when you're satisfied

    Once it's built and working the way you need, you pay.

  • Not happy? Don't pay

    If it doesn't do the job, you owe nothing for it.

Common questions

What does the monthly price cover?

Everything: building your software, hosting it, keeping it secure and backed up, fixing bugs and making the changes your plan includes. There's no separate build fee.

When do I start paying?

Not until your software is built and you're happy with it. If it isn't what you need, you don't pay.

What happens if I cancel?

You can cancel anytime. Your data is always yours, and you can export it before you go.

Can I own the software outright?

Yes. You can buy it out whenever you like, and then the monthly plan stops.

Which plan do I need?

Tell us what you want to fix and we'll recommend one. Most single automations fit Starter. A tool your team uses every day usually fits Standard.

What if my project is bigger than these plans?

Bigger projects get their own fixed quote, agreed before any work starts.

ABOUT

Built by someone who has done the work.

Burke Systems is run by Samuel Burke, a developer in the Raleigh-Durham area with a computer science degree from NC State. Before writing software full time, he ran a high-volume fulfillment team and sold to contractors, so he knows what it's like when the tools don't fit the job.

That's the point of Burke Systems: software shaped around how your people actually work.

Got a process that eats your week?

Tell us about it. You don't pay anything until your software is finished and you're happy with it.

We'll read it and reply by email within two business days.
