The Problems Slowing
Your Team Down

Tell us which of these four problems sounds like yours.

Custom Application Development
Outgrown Your Spreadsheets?
Shared spreadsheets and Access databases break as a team grows. We turn them into one reliable application several people can use at once, without losing the rules your team already relies on. When off-the-shelf software doesn't fit, we build the tool that does.

Document and workflow automation
Paperwork Eating Your Day?
We automate invoices, forms, and approvals, using AI where it reads documents well. A person approves anything that cannot be undone, and everything is logged.

Systems Integration
Systems That Don't Talk?
We connect your ERP, CRM, accounting, and other tools so data moves on its own. When a sync fails, a person gets an alert instead of a quiet gap in your data.

Legacy Modernization
Old Software Nobody Wants to Touch?
We take over aging or undocumented systems, get them stable, and move them to current platforms in small steps. Every cutover has a tested way back.

Who We Work With

Small Businesses.
Growing Operations.

Small businesses. You don't need an IT department to get software that fits. We start with how your business works, scope the smallest useful version, and give you a clear estimate. Choose a fixed price with set milestones, or pay as the work evolves. After launch, we support what we built, and the code is yours if you ever want to take it elsewhere.

Operations teams at larger companies. You own a process, and the software behind it is slowing it down. We work with your team and your IT group to fix that. We document what we build, keep it in source control, and release changes in steps that can be rolled back. You talk to the owners and engineers doing the work. There are no account managers or handoffs.

Small on purpose. The people who own Ignyte do the work, and our core team reviews every change. You always know who is building your software. We're based in Lexington, KY, meet clients on-site across Central Kentucky, and work with businesses nationwide remotely.

How We Build

Technology Chosen to Fit the Job

Most of what we build runs on .NET and SQL Server. They are proven platforms with long support lives, and they are easy for your team or a future vendor to maintain. We work with the systems you already have. When a project needs a different tool, we use it or tell you plainly if someone else is a better fit.

Software Running in Real Operations

Most of our work runs inside other companies' operations: warehouses, insurance agencies, and national conferences. Here is some of it.

Client work

Lafayette Engineering: warehouse control systems

System
Custom warehouse control systems that Lafayette Engineering runs at multiple customer sites.
Problem
Lafayette needed control software built for each customer's operation, and a partner who would keep supporting it after go-live.
What we did
We planned and built the systems to Lafayette's milestones, and we still support them today.
Outcome
The systems run at multiple customer sites. Lafayette says we hit every milestone and calls our support rock solid.

Client work

Hurst Home Insurance: QuickQuote

System
QuickQuote, a desktop quoting application for Hurst Home Insurance's field and office agents, built in C# and .NET on SQL Server.
Problem
Agents had to call the office to get a quote.
What we did
We built a quote program with a simple login and workflow, so agents produce quotes themselves.
Outcome
Agents now quote on the spot, accurately, without a call to the office.
See custom application development
Client work

NASDTEC: CheckPoint conference check-in

System
CheckPoint, conference attendance software for NASDTEC, a national association, built on Blazor and SQL Server.
Problem
Check-in lines at NASDTEC's conferences wrapped around the registration desk.
What we did
We built a tablet check-in kiosk that prints name badges, attendee imports before each event, year-round attendance tracking, and a web reporting back end.
Outcome
Check-in is faster and simpler, and the lines at the registration desk are gone.

We Also Build and Run Our Own Products

Running our own software for years taught us what it takes to keep a system working long after launch. Top25Rankings.com has run a weekly data pipeline since 2000.

How We Work

A Clear Path from
Idea to Launch

Every project starts with how your business works today. You see working software at regular demos, not a big reveal at the end. See how a project works, step by step.

1
Free Fit Call
A conversation about the problem. Afterward you get a short written note with our view and a next step, even if that step is not us.
2
Paid Review
A Workflow & AI Review for a new build, or a Production-Readiness Review for software you already run. Fee credited toward the build.
3
First Version
One workflow built end to end at a fixed price, with written acceptance criteria. You use it at regular demos as it grows.
4
Launch
We move your data, check it against the old system, and cut over with a tested way back.
5
Care Plan
Updates, monitoring, and small changes after launch, with a reply within one business day.
Common Questions

Answers, Up Front

The questions buyers actually ask us, answered plainly.

We build and modernize custom software for businesses: web and desktop applications, integrations between the systems you already use, databases and reporting, and replacements for spreadsheets and aging systems. We work with small businesses and with operations teams at larger companies across the United States.

Yes. Many projects start small, such as one spreadsheet process or one integration. We scope the smallest version that solves the problem and give you a clear estimate before any work begins.

The owners. Ignyte is a small firm, and the people who own it do the work. There are no account managers or handoffs, and our core team reviews every change.

It depends on the workflow and the systems involved. A new project starts with a paid Workflow & AI Review. It ends with three priced options and a fixed-price offer for a first version, and the review fee is credited toward the build. We also offer time-and-materials engagements for long-running work.

Timelines depend on scope. A focused tool or integration takes far less time than a full application, and the review ends with a schedule for the first version. Our process delivers working software iteratively, so you see progress at regular demos rather than waiting for a big-bang launch.

We pick the technology that fits the problem. Most of our work runs on .NET and SQL Server because those platforms are well supported and easy to maintain. We also work with the systems and tools you already have. If something isn't the right fit for us, we'll tell you honestly.

Yes. We're based in Lexington, KY and work with clients nationwide. We meet nearby clients on-site around Lexington and Central Kentucky, and discovery, demos, and delivery all work smoothly as remote engagements.

Yes. We move aging applications, Access databases, and spreadsheet-based systems to current, supportable platforms, and we take over software that a previous vendor or developer left behind. A takeover starts with a Production-Readiness Review.
