Your team knows where work gets stuck: information copied twice, requests lost between tools, or a spreadsheet that has become a job of its own. HyperChimp builds custom software and workflow automations for nonprofits and small businesses. We start with the process you already use and decide together what needs to change.
You may need a connection between systems you already use, a portal that makes a program easier to run, or a clearer website. You don’t need a finished technical brief to begin.
These are examples of work to explore. One completed project is described below.
Bring us an intake form, a program report, or a donor or volunteer handoff that takes too much repeated entry. We can review how information moves between your existing tools, where staff need to check it, and whether a focused integration or portal would help. Program decisions and final reports should have a named person responsible for reviewing them.
Start with a customer inquiry, a scheduling handoff, or information copied into an invoice. We can assess the connections your current tools support and scope a way to keep the work moving. A useful first release might put inquiries in one place and assign follow-up, with messages held for a person to review.
An existing app, a better form, or a clearer handoff may be enough. If the missing piece is a connection, we check the systems’ supported interfaces and access requirements before proposing a build. Custom software makes sense when the work needs capabilities the practical alternatives cannot provide.
We also build business websites and campaign pages, including sites your team can update. Tell us what visitors need to understand and what they should be able to do.
Bring an example of today’s process, the people who use it, and any budget or deadline. We will define the proposed work, acceptance checks, cost, and review points before building. The proposal should name the systems involved, who can see or change information, what happens when a connection fails, and how the work will be handed over.
Project discovery is $750 for up to four hours focused on one problem, including a working session, technical review, and written scope with a build estimate. It is a standalone deliverable, not an advance payment on a build.
A small integration or automation is $1,500–$4,500 for one workflow between up to two systems with supported APIs, including testing and handoff. Complex data cleanup, payment systems, and regulated workflows require a separate estimate. A focused custom application’s first release starts in our published $5,000–$12,000+ range. Hosting, software subscriptions, and ongoing maintenance are itemized separately. Prices are USD before applicable taxes; the agreed proposal defines the work.
Review the pricing and scope detailsA medical supply company in the Memphis area sends most of its orders to one distribution partner. The routine was the same every time: someone entered an order in the company’s system, then opened the partner’s portal and typed the whole thing in again. Orders piled up until a staff member had a free stretch to work through them, and the oldest ones didn’t always go first.
We built a bridge between the two systems. Now an order goes to the partner the moment it’s created, the partner’s confirmation lands back on the original record, and inventory updates and order changes travel the same road. Before anything is sent, the bridge checks whether the partner already has that order. Nothing gets submitted twice.
The first afternoon told the story. The bridge submitted 111 orders and had a confirmation back on every one within minutes. Twenty-two of those had been sitting in the manual queue waiting for someone’s attention. It also looked over the 341 orders already in the partner’s portal and left every one of them alone. No duplicates. From that point on, every order the company created went through on its own.
How much staff time does that free up? Typing an order into a supplier portal usually takes three to five minutes, so a day like that one works out to roughly five to eight hours of someone’s time. That last figure is our estimate. The order counts and confirmation times come straight from the bridge’s own log.
This was a purpose-built application around one partner’s order system and a regulated workflow. We scoped and priced it on its own, separate from our small integration package.
A few details help us make the first conversation useful. It’s fine if you don’t have every answer yet.
No. Show us the current process and where it gets difficult. Bring a sample with private information removed, a list of the systems involved, and the outcome you want.
We will review what it already supports first. An integration depends on available interfaces, permissions, and the reliability of the underlying data. Some systems cannot support the connection you want without a plan change or a different approach.
Your proposal will distinguish your data and custom work from licensed software and reusable HyperChimp components. We will document access, hosting costs, and handoff terms before work starts.
We can discuss ongoing support as part of the project. The agreement will define what is covered and how future changes are requested. Fixed-price projects include the agreed acceptance checks and a 30-day defect correction period; new features are separate.
Bring us the site and describe what needs to change. We will review the current setup before recommending an update, a move, or a rebuild.
