Sacramento
Custom software for Sacramento businesses.
Black Badger builds custom software, CRM, and project systems for Sacramento companies that have outgrown rented platforms. We run the work remotely from Clearwater, Florida. What we build is yours outright, down to the code, the database, and every account in your company's name.
Who this is for
A lot of Sacramento business carries heavy reporting obligations. Firms and contractors working adjacent to the state, healthcare organizations, construction and engineering companies running programs across the valley, and the growing services firms priced north and east out of the Bay Area. They tend to arrive with the same stack. A platform bought per seat, a premium tier bought for one feature, and a spreadsheet layer doing the reporting that actually matters. We replace the whole thing with one system built around how your team works, and the reporting your oversight requires is part of that system, so nobody assembles it by hand.
Platforms Sacramento companies leave
The platform Sacramento companies ask us about
Smartsheet
In Sacramento the grid turns up wherever reporting obligations are heavy, and the trouble arrives later, in the formulas. When a program has grown past Smartsheet, we build the reporting-heavy system that replaces it and your company owns it. We set Smartsheet up for years as a partner before ending those partnerships. Our focus is replacing the grid, and we say so before anyone bills an hour.
Replacing Smartsheet in SacramentoThat is the platform Sacramento companies bring us most. We replace the others too, and the platform pages cover each one on its own terms, including when keeping it is the right answer. See what we build.
The work
We have no Sacramento office and don't claim one. We're in Clearwater, Florida, and Sacramento engagements run over video from discovery through training, the way most of our client work does. Smartsheet comes up in our Sacramento conversations more than any other platform, which tells you how much of the region runs on the grid. The Smartsheet page linked above is written for those teams.
Questions Sacramento companies ask
Straight answers for Sacramento companies
Do you have people in Sacramento?
No. We're in Clearwater, Florida, and Sacramento work runs remotely. A strategy call, a written scope, working screens early, weekly reviews over video, and training when we hand it over. That's the same sequence we run for a client across town. You end up with the same thing either way, a system sitting on accounts in your name.
Our work is adjacent to the state and carries compliance requirements. Can you meet them?
It depends on which requirements, and the written scope is where that gets settled, before anything is built. We name the requirements that apply, what the system has to do about them, and anything that rules us out. We'd rather lose the engagement on the first call than find a requirement in month two. What we won't do is wave at compliance in general terms.
Who owns the system afterwards?
You do, completely. The code sits in a repository under your company name, and the database and hosting live on your accounts. No license, no seat count, nothing that expires if you stop working with us. We're administrators you can remove any time, and handover includes documentation a future hire or another firm can pick up cold.
