Audit-first. Built around your business.

Your business is one of a kind. Your tools should be too.

Audits, workflow automations, Google Workspace builds, AI where it actually earns its keep, team training, and full custom software when you need it. We map your business first, then design the smallest solution that solves it — shipped in weeks, owned by you.

20 minutes. No pitch. You walk away with a clear next step.

Why custom

Built around your business, not the other way around.

Three reasons most teams settle for tools that don't fit, and why Protiva exists.

The problem

Off-the-shelf never really fits.

Every business is unique, but most software is one-size-fits-all. Your team ends up adapting to the product, wrestling with features you don't use, and paying for bloat you don't need.

Why custom usually isn't an option

True customization used to be out of reach.

When software is built around your workflow, the price tag used to be six figures and the timeline six months. That's why most teams settle.

How Protiva works

We audit first. Then build around you.

We get to really know your business, workflow, and processes. Then we build the custom tool designed around how your team actually works. No learning curve. Secure, safe, compliant, owned by you. A working concept in weeks, at a fraction of the cost.

Results, anonymized

Real engagements, names removed. The pattern is always the same: audit first, smallest fix first.

[FILL IN: industry, e.g. HVAC company] · [FILL IN: company size, e.g. 12 service trucks]

Before

Quotes went out by hand and follow-up depended on memory. [FILL IN: quote follow-up time before] of quotes never got a second touch. The owner was the only person who knew where each job stood.

After

The audit found the leak was follow-up, not lead volume. We shipped the smallest fix first: [FILL IN: what was built, e.g. automated quote follow-up sequence]. Result: [FILL IN: outcome, e.g. follow-up now happens same day].

[FILL IN: metric, e.g. 2x]
[FILL IN: label, e.g. quote response rate]
[FILL IN: metric, e.g. 6 hrs]
[FILL IN: label, e.g. saved per week]

[FILL IN: industry, e.g. office services firm] · [FILL IN: company size, e.g. 8-person office team]

Before

The team copied the same data between spreadsheets and their CRM every day. [FILL IN: hours lost per week before] went to copy-paste work, and errors crept in with it.

After

The audit showed one sync, done properly, removed most of it. We built [FILL IN: what was built, e.g. a two-way spreadsheet to CRM sync]. Result: [FILL IN: outcome, e.g. no more double entry].

[FILL IN: metric, e.g. 10 hrs]
[FILL IN: label, e.g. saved per week]
[FILL IN: metric, e.g. 0]
[FILL IN: label, e.g. manual entry errors]

[FILL IN: industry, e.g. local services business] · [FILL IN: company size, e.g. 20 staff]

Before

Marketing spend went out every month with no way to tell which channel brought jobs in. Decisions ran on gut feel. [FILL IN: detail, e.g. ad spend per month] was effectively untracked.

After

The audit found the data existed, it just never landed in one place. We shipped [FILL IN: what was built, e.g. a simple lead source dashboard]. Result: [FILL IN: outcome, e.g. spend shifted to the channel that converts].

[FILL IN: metric, e.g. 3 wks]
[FILL IN: label, e.g. to first dashboard]
[FILL IN: metric, e.g. 100%]
[FILL IN: label, e.g. of leads now sourced]
