Internal employee portals & operations tools
Custom portals for scheduling, safety paperwork, incident reporting, approvals, and day-to-day operations. These tools are designed around your roles, job sites, and workflows—not someone else’s template.
Services & Process
Schardt Industries designs and builds custom software for teams that need more than generic off-the-shelf tools. I focus on internal tools, workforce apps, and operational software that support the way your business actually runs.
Every project combines project management discipline with hands-on engineering, from first conversation through deployment and support.
What I build
Mobile apps (iOS & Android)
Cross-platform mobile apps built with a single shared codebase and deployed to both the Apple App Store and Google Play. Ideal for field teams, customers, or communities that need access on the go.
Web apps & dashboards
Browser-based tools for coordinators and leadership: live data views, admin consoles, and dashboards that bring together the information you need to run day-to-day operations.
Architecture & technical consulting
If you already have systems in place, I can help with architecture reviews, feasibility planning, and scoped feature work to extend or stabilize what you’re running today.
How the process works
1. Discovery & scoping
We start with a focused conversation about your team, existing tools, and the problems you’re trying to solve. You’ll share examples of paperwork, spreadsheets, or systems you use today. From that, I create a written scope with proposed features and constraints.
2. Proposal & alignment
Based on the scope, I provide a proposed approach, rough timelines, and pricing ranges. This is where we decide which features are in the first release, and which items can be deferred to later phases if needed.
3. Build in small, testable pieces
I implement the solution in small increments with regular check-ins. You see working software early, so there are fewer surprises at the end and more chances to refine the fit to your real-world workflow.
4. Launch, train, and support
Once we’re ready to launch, I handle deployment and provide reasonable post-launch support. The goal is to give your team a tool they can rely on—not a proof of concept that gets abandoned after a month.
Technologies & capabilities
Schardt Industries uses a modern, proven stack that balances speed of delivery with long-term maintainability. The exact tools depend on your project, but most work falls into the areas below.
Frontend & mobile
React Native with Expo for iOS and Android, plus React and semantic HTML/CSS for web experiences and internal dashboards.
Backend & data
Supabase (PostgreSQL, Row-Level Security, file storage) for application data, auth, and role-aware access to sensitive information.
Authentication & security
Email/password auth, secure profile storage, and permissions modeled around your org’s structure, including supervisor vs. employee scopes.
Deployment & hosting
Expo EAS for mobile builds and store submissions, Netlify for web deployments, and configuration geared toward stable, repeatable releases.
Desktop utilities
Electron-based desktop tools when a persistent Windows or desktop experience makes more sense than mobile or web alone.
Tooling & workflows
GitHub-based source control, environment-based configuration, and incremental delivery with regular checkpoints so you can see progress as it happens.
What clients can expect
Clear expectations
Every project begins with a shared understanding of scope, priorities, and what success looks like. No surprises and no hidden terms.
Transparent pricing
You’ll always know what you’re paying for, what’s included, and where your investment is going. I focus on value—not inflated estimates.
Frequent communication
Regular updates, check-ins, and open communication ensure steady progress and alignment. I believe strong collaboration builds better tools.
Real-world reliability
Software shouldn’t just “work”—it should make life easier. I design tools that hold up in real operational environments and genuinely improve workflows.
User privacy & ethics
I do not work with data brokers or build systems that exploit user information. Trust is built through ethical development and privacy by default.
Long-term partnership
I don’t disappear after delivery. My goal is relationship-based development: dependable support, ongoing improvements, and sustainable tools.
