The day lives in one person's head
Tomorrow's runs are a grid of marker on a wall and a memory of which containers are where. When that person is out, so is the plan.
Independent software company
The physical economy still runs on paper. We're changing that.
Batsford Systems builds the system of record for businesses that move, weigh and file things for a living — dispatch boards, weight tickets, container logs, permit reports. One record, from the first phone call to the filed report.
One product in production. More on the way.

The problem
A capable operation, held together by a whiteboard and a stack of carbon forms.
Waste and recycling, haulage, aggregates, scrap — sectors that run on schedules, scales and duplicate paperwork. The software built for them is either a toy or an enterprise suite priced for a company ten times the size.
The same number, typed four times
A weight goes on a paper ticket, into a spreadsheet, onto an invoice, then into a year-end tally for the state. Every copy is a chance to be wrong.
Compliance reconstructed from memory
Permit reports get rebuilt each year from bins of tickets, because nothing captured the regulated category at the moment the load crossed the scale.

What we build
Operational software for industries the tech world skipped.
Not a scheduling app, a spreadsheet and an accounting package stitched together — one system that carries a job from the request to the filed report without re-keying.
One system, not seven
The request, the dispatch, the weight, the invoice line — one record the whole way through. No re-keying between tools that don't talk.
Built for the cab, not the office
Drivers are in dead zones half the day. Every action is saved on the device first and synced second — stamped with the time it happened, safe to retry.
Made with the people who use it
Gross tons versus short tons, demo loads, direct-to-landfill, permit categories — the rules of the trade are in the software because we built it next to the operators.
The filing writes itself
When every material is entered against a regulated category, the annual permit reports come straight out of the day-to-day data.
Your data stays yours
Runs on your own machine and your own database. Backups capture schema and data together, so a snapshot can stand a fresh system back up on its own.
Small company, fast turns
Founder-led and close to the ground. A fix reported in the morning is often deployed by the afternoon — the whole customer base upgrades at once.

Sit with the operator, learn the trade, build the record
We take one operation at a time, work on the yard until the vocabulary is second nature, and ship every week.
Own the software, subscribe for upkeep
One structure whether it's Tally adapted to your operation or a new system for your industry: a perpetual license you keep, a monthly support subscription, the build quoted after a scoping visit.
One person who kept showing up to the yard
Jordan Batsford started the company at 22, after building what became Tally and watching it take over the running of a real business.
