Small Business Owners: Stop Paying Subscription Traps – Own Your System | Fireytech Custom Web App's

Why Your Small Business Is Still Stuck with Paper, Spreadsheets, and Subscription Traps (And How to Fix It Fast)

If you're a small business owner, your customer information, ticketing, records, and training are probably scattered across multiple formats — from paper to Google Sheets, Word documents, or even outdated Windows programs.

Or worse, you might be using a subscription-based program that's holding all of your data hostage.

How much efficiency and money are you wasting because of this mess?

What if all of these things lived in one modern, web-based system that you actually **owned** and could change — accessible from phones, tablets, and computers, from the office, remote locations, or from home — and cost way less per month than those subscription traps?

Most web developers focus on just building a pretty little brochure website with maybe a contact form, but they don't really build in anything to help you with your day-to-day operations.

That’s where **Fireytech** is different.

We focus on building tools in the background, with user-level controls that give you access to all the information you need to run your business more efficiently.

Let me show you some of the tools we've built into our own internal website. They’re specific to what we do at our computer repair shop, but they’ll give you a clear idea of what’s possible for your business.

**A Little About Me**  
My name is Michael Firey and I own Fireytech. I’ve been developing websites and databases for over 25 years, dating back to the old days of ACT!, Microsoft Access, and now modern web-based PHP databases.

With the old way of doing things, you either had to pay a developer thousands of dollars to build and maintain your system, or you had to become a developer yourself — and as a small business person, we don’t have time for that.

Now, with modern AI tools, I can build you a flexible, modern web-based system to track everything you need — in days or weeks instead of months — for a fraction of what traditional developers charge, and with hosting costs way lower than subscription models.

**Live Demo: Inside Our Internal System**

Here’s the secure login for our internal portal. I set up different user accounts with different permission levels — admins have full rights, regular users can only make certain changes.

Once logged in, this is our internal dashboard. All the tools are right here on the left, and the main area uses customizable cards.

Here are some of the key tools we use every day:

- **Posts Section** – Add new articles or updates that instantly publish to our public website. Great for fresh content, SEO, and customer communication. Edit or delete old posts anytime.

- **Parts Markup Calculator** – Employees just enter our cost (say $10), hit calculate, and it instantly shows the correct sell price with our built-in margins ($19.99 before tax), plus sales tax and total. All percentages are admin-editable and future-proof.

- **Labor Rates & Service Options** – Quick reference for techs so everyone quotes consistently. Fully editable.

- **Referral Resources** – When customers ask for services we don’t offer (Mac repair, phone repair, printers, etc.), we instantly know who to send them to.

- **Cash Drawer Count** – Daily or weekly cash counts with minimums shown. Every submission creates a permanent log so we can look back weeks or months.

- **Training Section** – Upload videos, PDFs, Word/Excel files, or link to Google Docs/Sheets. Everything categorized and easy for new hires to access.

- **Forms Library** – All our commonly used forms (credit card authorization, W-9, etc.) in one place — always the latest version.

- **Customizable Dashboard Cards** – Quick links to our repair queue and texting system, internal phone extensions, employee cell numbers, and more. Every employee can drag, drop, add, or remove cards to fit how they work.

This entire system was built in about **one week**.

**This Can Be Built for YOUR Business Too**

I want you to think about all the tasks, record-keeping, and scattered files your team deals with every day.

Now imagine condensing all of that into one great-looking internal website that everyone can access from anywhere.

That’s exactly what I love building for small businesses — tools you’ll actually use daily that make your operations run smoother, faster, and cheaper.

Yes, I can build a basic public website with a contact form or job application, but **this** is the kind of work that truly transforms a business.

If you’re interested, give me a call at **(918) 258-3473**. All contact info is below the video too.

I look forward to helping you finally get off paper and spreadsheets and run your business better.
