We run real businesses, and build the software that runs them.
Milner AM builds custom web apps, customer portals and back-office systems for small businesses. We also own a local franchise, and we built the software to run it ourselves.
Practical software for businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets, paper forms and tools that almost fit.
Web apps & customer portals
Online applications, bookings, customer accounts and self-service portals, built around how your business actually works.
Back-office & operations systems
Hiring, training, SOPs, inventory, checklists and reporting dashboards: the same kind of tools we run our own stores on.
Websites built to grow
Fast, secure websites built on the same foundation as our bigger systems, so adding bookings, applications or logins later never means starting over.
Every project comes with a care plan
Software isn't finished on launch day. Servers need updates, security fixes keep coming, and your business keeps changing. So everything we launch moves onto a monthly care plan. It's how we keep what we built for you fast, safe and working, and it means you always have the people who built it on call.
Hosting and uptime monitoring
Security and software updates
Regular backups
Small changes and fixes each month
A direct line to the people who built it
Any size
Start simple. Grow into custom.
Not every business needs a big system on day one. Start with what you need now, built properly, and add to it as you grow, without starting over.
Step 1
A website that's built to grow
Fast, secure and yours, not a template you rent. Ready for bookings, applications or customer logins when you need them.
Step 2
Add the tools you're missing
Online applications, bookings, customer accounts and forms that land in one place instead of five different apps.
Step 3
Run your business on it
Back-office systems for hiring, training, inventory and reporting, like the Store Hub we run our own store on.
Honest advice, either way: if an off-the-shelf tool truly fits, we'll tell you. When it stops fitting, we're here.
Pricing
Clear starting points
One price to build it, one monthly plan to keep it running. Your quote shows both side by side, so there are no surprises.
Online applications, booking and ordering systems, customer portals, staff tools and dashboards. They run in the browser and on your team's phones, with no app store fees or waiting on app store reviews.
Become a founding partner: a small setup fee instead of the full build, and a higher care plan to start. As other businesses start using the same system, your monthly price goes down.
Care plans start with 12 months (24 for custom software), then go month to month. It's what keeps build prices low.
Billing
Pay monthly, or yearly and get 2 months free. Your domain (about $10–20 a year) and business email are paid directly to their providers.
What's yours
Your domain, logo, photos, text and data. The design and code we build stay with us; ask if you'd like a buyout.
Extra work
$90 an hour, in 15-minute blocks. Unused plan time doesn't roll over.
Proof, not promises
Our work
We build for ourselves first. If a tool isn't good enough to run our own business on, we don't sell it to anyone else.
Software · Our own product
Store Hub
We own a local franchise and couldn't find operations software that fit a single-store owner, so we built our own. It's made to run our store day to day, and to serve other operators too.
What it handles
Hiring: public job applications, applicant tracking and printable QR hiring posters
Training & SOPs: a searchable library the whole team can open on a phone
Inventory, checklists and inspection packets
Daily reports and financial dashboards for the owner
Multiple stores and owners, each with their own logins and roles
The owner hub: is my store OK today?
Hiring: applications from a QR poster straight into a pipeline
On shift: checklists and food-safety alerts on the crew's phone
Software · Windows app
GridSpace
A desktop organizer for Windows. It sorts a cluttered desktop into tidy Spaces in one click, learns where you like things, and stays out of your way.
One-click organize that recognizes thousands of well-known apps
Spaces roll up when you're not using them and open on hover
Folder portals, tabs, search and saved layouts for work and play
A short conversation about your business, what's slowing you down, and whether we're a good fit.
02
Scope & quote
A written plan of what we'll build, in plain language: a fixed price for the build, the monthly care plan, and a timeline.
03
Build with weekly demos
You see working software every week and can steer it before anything is final.
04
Launch & care plan
We launch it, train your team, then keep it running on your care plan: hosting, updates, backups and small improvements.
About
About Milner AM
Milner Asset Management is a small company based in Kernersville, North Carolina. We own local businesses, starting with a franchise location, and we build the software behind them.
That combination is the point. We know what it's like to open a store, hire a team and close out a long day, so the software we build for you is shaped by the same problems we deal with ourselves.
Built for real use
Tested on our own business before it reaches yours.
Plain answers
Clear quotes, honest timelines, no jargon.
