About Us
Most of our best projects didn't start with a software requirement — they started with a process that wasn't working. A pricing discrepancy nobody could track down. A reporting workflow held together by spreadsheets and tribal knowledge. An operation that had outgrown every tool it tried.
Founded in 2019 in Phoenix, Arizona, xDev LLC is a tight-knit software consultancy that works with operations-driven businesses to untangle those problems and build the right solution — whether that's a focused internal tool or a full custom platform.
Our Expertise
We specialize in full-stack web applications for businesses with real operational complexity — the kind where generic SaaS tools either don't exist, don't fit, or require too many workarounds to be worth it.
Our experience spans procurement workflows, job costing, field operations, business process automation, and data reporting. We've built everything from lean internal tools to multi-user platforms — always starting with understanding the business before touching any code.
If your team is doing something important in a spreadsheet, a whiteboard, or their heads — there's probably a better way. We help you find it and build it.
Our Approach
Custom software has a reputation for being expensive, opaque, and slow. We work differently. Our process is designed for business owners and operators — not developers — so you stay in the loop at every stage without needing a technical background to follow along.
Discover & Understand
Before any planning or scoping, we learn how your business actually runs — the workarounds, the manual steps, the things that only work because one person knows how to do them.
Plan & Propose
We map out what to build, in what order, and why. You get a clear scope and honest timeline — no jargon, no vague estimates, just a straightforward view of what you're getting and what it costs.
Feedback & Refine
You review working software, not mockups. Your feedback shapes the next iteration, and we keep building until it fits the way your team actually works — not just how it looked on paper.
Deploy & Support
We handle the launch and stay involved after — because real-world use always surfaces things that testing doesn't. We're reachable when questions come up, not just while the contract is active.
Services
From a focused internal tool to a full custom platform — we work across the full stack to solve the problems your current software can't.
Custom Software Development
We build web applications around how your business actually operates — not around what a template supports. From data-heavy internal tools to customer-facing platforms, we handle the full stack.
Business Process Automation
If your team is manually moving data between systems, re-entering information, or running the same report by hand every week — there's a better way. We identify the bottlenecks and automate them.
Data Analytics & Reporting
Your data exists — it's usually just scattered across three systems and nobody has time to pull it together. We build reporting tools that surface the numbers you actually need, when you need them.
Digital Transformation
Moving off paper, spreadsheets, or legacy systems doesn't have to be painful. We manage the transition — data, process, and adoption — so the switch actually sticks.
Software Project Recovery
Inherited a project that's stalled, over budget, or not delivering? We assess what's there, figure out what's salvageable, and get things moving again with a plan grounded in reality.
Fractional CTO/CIO
Need senior technical leadership without a full-time hire? We help growing businesses make the right technology decisions — vendor selection, team structure, architecture, roadmap — without the overhead.

How we work
No long discovery phases. No hand-offs to junior developers. No mystery.
Start with the problem, not the solution
We don't assume you need a full platform. Every engagement starts with a conversation about what's actually broken — and whether software is even the right fix. If it is, we scope it to match the problem.
You talk to the person building it
There’s no account manager in the middle. You work directly with the developer building your software — which means faster answers, fewer misunderstandings, and a product that reflects what you actually asked for.
Build incrementally, prove it works
We prefer small, working pieces over large, expensive bets. You see progress early, adjust as you learn, and never pay for months of work before you’ve seen a single result.
