About IGC: custom software for growing businesses since 2005
IGC builds custom business software. Joe founded the company in 2005. We are still maintaining systems we built in our first few years.
Joe
Joe has been building business software for over twenty years. He writes the code. He runs the projects. He is the person you speak to when you call. That is not a figurative description of our culture. It is literally how the work gets done.
We keep a small number of clients at any one time. That is deliberate. It means Joe knows your system, your business, and your priorities without needing a handover document.
What We Believe
Own your systems, not rent them
Commodity tools like email and calendars are fine to rent. The systems that define how your business operates should belong to you. Everything we build, you own completely: code, data, hosting decisions. No lock-in.
Build for the decade
Software should be built for the person who uses it every day a year from now, not for the sales demo. That means boring, proven technology. Clear code that future developers can understand. Documentation that actually gets written.
Calm over chaos
Technology should bring order, not add complexity. The end state we aim for is a business where the owner knows what is happening without chasing updates. Where teams hand off work cleanly. Where growth does not mean proportional increases in stress.
What We Don't Do
Knowing what we will not take on matters as much as knowing what we will.
Who We Work With
Manufacturing, renewable energy, SaaS software, startups. The industries vary. The pattern is the same.
Manufacturing
A manufacturer whose order management runs on a spreadsheet that three people update independently.
SaaS Software
A SaaS company that needs a billing system their off-the-shelf tools cannot handle.
Renewable Energy
A renewable energy firm tracking installations across forty sites with email chains and shared drives.
Startups
A startup that has validated the idea and now needs the thing built properly.
The Numbers
We do not have case studies on this page. What we have is longevity, specificity, and the kind of track record that only comes from doing this for twenty years.
-
60+ applications built since 2005 From simple internal tools to complex multi-tenant platforms.
-
Client relationships going back to 2008 Some have lasted over a decade. We are still maintaining and extending systems we built years ago.
-
Small client roster by design Not by accident. Every client gets direct access to the person doing the work.
