How do I get software built if I am not technical?

• What the work is, in one sentence. For example: we quote each job by hand from three spreadsheets.
• Who does it, and how often.
• Where it goes wrong: late, wrong, lost, or dependent on one person.
• Which tools it touches today.
• What would be different if it worked.

• A plan in plain language: the problem, the fix, what it includes and how long it takes.
• A written price that gives the reason for each line.
• A list of what is still unconfirmed.
• A way to say no at each step, before more money is spent.

You do not need to say API, database or integration. Translating a business problem into those terms is the builder's job. If a builder cannot work from your description, that tells you something about the builder.

On the site you answer a few questions about one task as it works today, and your plan fills in as you go. You can change any answer before you save it. A person at LOJIK reads the plan and sends your price. It takes about 3 minutes on screen, and the price and scope come to you in writing.

LOJIK is probably not the right choice if:

• You want to build and manage the system yourself. A no-code tool will teach you faster.
• You have an idea but no recurring problem yet. Talk to a few customers before you pay for software.
• You want someone on a call to talk it through. LOJIK works in writing.
• The task happens once or twice a year. A checklist is cheaper than a system.
