Get a custom proposalOwn what you build.
Shadow Projects builds custom operations platforms for trades, field service and logistics companies — job tracking, dispatch, scheduling, quoting and cost control, engineered around how your operation actually runs instead of how generic software assumes it does.
You own everything we build. The code, the brand and all your data are in your name from day one. No subscriptions, no per-seat fees, no lock-in — and no price increase as your team grows. Every platform ships with AI integrated natively (powering automation, document processing and analytics) and custom API connections to the tools you already use.
How an engagement works:
• Discovery is $5,000 and takes two weeks. You get a full system spec and a fixed build price in writing — and the spec is yours to keep either way.
• Most builds land between $25,000 and $60,000, with milestone payments as we deliver.
• After launch, ongoing support runs on an optional monthly care plan. If you ever want to take it in-house, you can.
We also work as a white-label delivery team for agencies, manufacturers and consultancies who need software shipped under their own brand.
Shadow Projects is based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, serving operations-heavy businesses across the region, and holds a 5.0 rating on Google. An Arxstone company.

Our Story
We got tired of watching good businesses get burned — by agencies that pitch and disappear, and by software that charges per seat forever and was never built for how the operation actually runs. So we built Shadow Projects. We map how your business really works, build the platform that fixes it, and hand over full ownership: your code, your data, your brand. A family-owned team in Chattanooga that works like part of yours. Own what you build.
