Your team keeps the system they know. It just starts working with everything else — your website, your CRM, your spreadsheets. No migration, no code changes, no retraining.
We're onboarding a few businesses first, and building each bridge with them directly.
Every entry is screenshotted and logged. Anything unusual is sent to a person before it's saved.
Software built before 2010 was never meant to connect to other tools. There is no way in except the screen.
Staff copy from one window and type into another, all day. Slow, error-prone, and nobody wants that job.
A migration costs a fortune, takes years, and the new system rarely does everything the old one did. So nobody does it.
One visit. We record each screen your team fills in and where the data comes from.
Shim runs on a PC in your office. It reads your old software's screens and fills them in — like a careful employee who never gets tired.
Web forms, CRMs, WhatsApp, spreadsheets, email. When something looks off, a person is asked before anything is saved.
Clinics, accounting firms, distributors, logistics companies, business-setup and PRO firms — anyone running a system that does its job but can't connect to the rest of the business.
No. We never see or touch your software's code. Shim works through the screens your staff already use — the same windows, the same fields, the same buttons.
This is the whole point of the approach. If the vendor who built your system closed down in 2011, it makes no difference to us.
No. Nothing is installed inside your software and no file of yours is modified. Shim is a separate program that signs in the same way a member of your staff does.
Switch it off and your system behaves exactly as it did before — because nothing inside it was ever touched.
One small program, on one Windows PC in your office — usually the machine that already runs your old software. No new servers, no changes to your network, nothing for the rest of your team to learn.
We set it up with you on the first visit.
It stays where it already is — inside your software, on your machine. Shim reads a screen and types into a screen. It does not copy your database out or upload your records anywhere.
Screenshots and logs are kept on your PC. We only ever see what you choose to show us.
It checks every entry against the original before saving. If anything doesn't line up — a name that reads oddly, a number outside the normal range, a screen that doesn't look the way it should — it stops and hands that one entry to a person instead of guessing.
Every entry it makes is saved with a screenshot, so you can look back at exactly what happened and when.
If a person can do it on a screen, Shim can do it. Tally, Marg, Busy, custom software from a vendor who's long gone, green-screen terminal systems, in-house tools written in the nineties.
We confirm it on the first call, by looking at your actual screen.
One visit to watch how your team works, then your first workflow is running within a week.
We start with the single most repetitive task you have, prove it works, and add more from there.
Early customers get set up at no cost while we build the first workflows alongside them — we're learning as much from you as you get from us.
After that it's a monthly fee per workflow, agreed with you before anything starts. The rule we hold ourselves to: it should cost less than the hours it removes.
You turn it off. There's no migration back, nothing to export, no data to untangle — because your data never left your system in the first place.
You end up exactly where you started, minus the re-typing you did in the meantime.
A few businesses to start with. We'll reply within two days.
