Mini‐programs and utilities
Small applications that solve one or two specific tasks.
- Simple desktop utilities.
- Tools for working with files.
- Generators, converters, “assistants.”
Custom utility and automation development
We create small programs, scripts, and internal tools for specific tasks: from sorting files and generating reports to automating routine actions.
SmallSoft is a team that knows how to make small but useful tools. We don’t take on huge systems, web portals, or ERP — only specific, clear tasks that can be solved with a neat utility.
Describe the task View ready‐made utilities
Work format
You describe what you want to automate or simplify. We offer a solution in the form of a mini‐program, estimate the scope of work and cost, create a prototype, and develop it into a finished tool.
What we are developing
We specialize in compact tools for Windows and internal automation, rather than large systems.
Process automation
Programs that eliminate routine and repetitive tasks.
- Automatic sorting and renaming.
- Bulk processing of images and documents.
- Creation of reports or summaries from files.
Internal tools
Programs that are only needed within the company.
- Service utilities for the department.
- “Assistants” for technical specialists.
- Working tools for document preparation.
Typical tasks we solve
Below are examples of the tasks we are most frequently asked to perform.
Working with files and documents
When it is no longer convenient to use your hands in Explorer.
- Automatic sorting of documents into folders.
- Bulk renaming using templates.
- PDF compilation from sets of files.
- Selection of required files by type and mask.
Parsing, checks, reports
When you need to regularly “go through” the data and collect the results.
- Checking websites or files for errors.
- Collecting specific data into a summary report.
- Generating simple reports in CSV/Excel.
- Processing logs and uploads.
Automation of actions
When an employee does the same thing 100 times a day.
- Auto‐clickers and action scripts in applications.
- Semi‐automatic form filling.
- Small “robots” for routine work.
Extension of SmallSoft ready‐made utilities
Sometimes it is enough to modify an existing program.
- Add fields and filters.
- Change the sorting or analysis logic.
- Create a special operating mode for your company.
Development cost
We use a simple and straightforward model: the smaller and more specific the task, the cheaper and faster the result.
Small Tasks
approximately from $99
Minor modifications or simple scripts.
- Simple scripts or utilities.
- Scripts for similar operations.
- Minor changes to an existing program.
Medium Tasks
approximately from $249—499
A full‐fledged mini‐program with several functions.
- Separate desktop application.
- Multiple screens or operating modes.
- Simple data processing logic.
Custom Tools
approximately from $599
More complex corporate instruments.
- Utilities for multiple departments.
- Non‐standard logic, large volumes of data.
- Integration into existing processes.
How we work
We strive to minimize bureaucracy and focus on results.
1. Task description
You write what you want to simplify or automate.
- Briefly describe the current process.
- Explain what result you want to achieve.
- If possible, add examples or screenshots.
2. Assessment and proposal
We assess the scope and propose an implementation option.
- Cost range and approximate timeframes.
- Program format: utility, script, add‐on.
- If necessary, we propose a simpler option.
3. Prototype
First, we create a working draft so that you can check the logic.
- You test the prototype using your own data.
- You provide feedback on the scenario.
- We make adjustments until we reach an agreed‐upon result.
4. Final version
The finished program, documentation, and, if necessary, brief instructions for employees.
- Final build of the program.
- Brief description of installation and use.
- On request — support and refinements.
What projects we do not take on
To ensure that expectations match reality, we honestly describe what we do not do.
We do not develop large systems
- CRM/ERP systems.
- Complex web portals.
- Mobile applications “from scratch.”
- Large‐scale SAAS platforms.
Focus — small tools
Our area of expertise:
- Utilities that can be explained in 1—2 paragraphs.
- Tasks that solve specific problems.
- Simple and understandable scenarios.
FAQ
Do you create websites or mobile applications?
No. We specialize in small desktop utilities and process automation. If you need a website or a large application, it is better to contact a web studio.
Can you modify one of your utilities for us?
Yes, this is one of the most convenient formats: we take a ready‐made program (for example, FileSorter or MassPDF) as a basis and add filters, logic, and templates for your tasks.
Do you work under contract and issue invoices?
Yes, we can work under contract and issue invoices. Details are discussed individually.
Is it possible to sign an NDA?
Yes, if you plan to share internal data or process descriptions, we can sign an NDA before discussing the details.
How long does development take?
It all depends on the scope. Small tasks can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, while more complex tools can take longer. We always try to give a realistic estimate.
Do you have an idea or a routine task that you want to automate?
Describe it in free form — we will see if it can be solved with a small utility, and suggest a format and approximate cost.
