What You Can Hire Us For
Clear, fixed-scope work for businesses that don't have (or want) a big IT department. Every project starts with a free consultation and a plain-English proposal.
MVP Development for Founders
Have an idea? We build and launch a working product you can put in front of users and investors — scoped to what you actually need to validate, not a year-long build.
ERP for Growing Businesses
Implementation and customization (including Openbravo) that fits how your business actually runs — inventory, invoicing, and operations in one system instead of ten spreadsheets.
IT Cost Audit
We go through your software licenses, cloud bills, and tooling to find what you're overpaying for — and give you a concrete plan to cut 30–50% without losing capability.
AI Chatbots & Automation
Chatbots that answer customer questions and automations that handle the repetitive work, so a small team can do the work of a bigger one.
Mobile App Development
iOS and Android apps built with React Native — one codebase, both stores, maintained affordably. We also build Shopify apps for e-commerce businesses.
AI & LLM Integration
Add large language model features to the software you already have — document processing, smart search, drafting — without rebuilding your systems.
Proof, Not Promises
Three engagements our principals delivered — the situation, what we did, and what it changed.
Multi-site cloud ERP rollout
From a two-facility pilot on an empty AWS account to a 17-site rollout — approved on a $278K/year ROI case, with order-to-invoice cycle time cut from 30 minutes to 5.
Read the case studySupport turnaround
A major French furniture retailer's active bug backlog cut from 100+ to under 20 through structured triage, with a major platform upgrade delivered in under 60 days.
Read the case studyDelivery practice built from zero
A Mauritius delivery practice grown from 0 to 15 engineers running 5+ concurrent programmes — 98% on time and on budget, with client contribution margins up 25%.
Read the case studyHow Much Is Your IT Leaking?
Three sliders. One uncomfortable number.
Estimated yearly leak
$10,800
about $900 every month
A steady leak. Your IT budget has a hole the size of a canoe.
Plug the leakA rough estimate based on typical SME license waste, duplicate tooling, and oversized cloud — the honest number comes from an actual audit, which is what the free consultation is for.
Why Choose BeaverMinds?
Because you shouldn't need a Fortune 500 budget to get technology done properly. We keep the rigor of enterprise delivery and drop everything else.
Savings You Can Measure
Every proposal names the number it will move — licensing spend, hours saved, time to launch — so you can hold us to it.
Built to Last
We pick boring, proven technology that your team can run for years without us — no lock-in, no surprise rebuild in eighteen months.
Enterprise Experience, SME Prices
We've shipped ERP and enterprise systems for large multi-national environments. You get that experience without the big-firm overhead.
Fast First Value
We scope projects so something useful ships in weeks. You see progress early instead of waiting months for a big reveal.
No Handoffs
The people you meet on the first call are the people who do the work. Nothing gets lost between a salesperson and a delivery team.
Plain-English Communication
Proposals, updates, and invoices you can actually read. If we can't explain a technical choice simply, we don't make it.
About BeaverMinds
A two-principal consultancy bringing enterprise-grade delivery to small and mid-sized businesses
" We spent years building technology for large enterprises. BeaverMinds exists to bring that same quality to the businesses that need it most — without the enterprise price tag. "
Why the Beaver?
Beavers are nature's engineers — one of the only animals besides humans that builds infrastructure to reshape the world around it. A small family team, simple materials, and dams so sturdy they turn a trickle of a stream into a thriving ecosystem.
That's the standard we build to: two people, proven tools, and systems solid enough to change how your whole business flows. It's also why the top of this page says “Serious dams.”
