Give your teamthe [hours back]

Trusted by growing owner-led businesses

We build custom software that wipes out manual busywork — the data entry, the copy-pasting, the reports nobody has time for. You own the code and cloud accounts; we operate it on a retainer.

[N.01/09]> The problem

Manual work is eating your team, one hour at a time.

Right now, someone on your team is retyping numbers from one screen into another. Someone else is rebuilding the same spreadsheet they built last week.

Every hour spent on that is an hour not spent growing the business — and it's an hour you're paying full salary for. The work is repetitive. Your people are not.

[N.02/09]> The savings

What is one manual process costing you a year?

140+
140+
$12$90

We count 48 working weeks a year and assume a fifth of the work stays with a person — checks and exceptions. Conservative on purpose.

Done by hand, per year$43,008
Labour cost we cut$34,406 / yr
Time back to your team26 hrs / wk

That's $43,008 a year to have people do robot work. Automate it and about $34,406 of that comes off the wage bill every year — plus 26 hours a week your team spends on growing the business instead.

[N.04/09]> What we automate

Four kinds of busywork we take off your business.

Data entry

Information typed into one system, then retyped into another. Software moves it instantly, without typos.

Reporting

Hours every week assembling the same spreadsheet. Now it builds itself and lands in your inbox.

Handoffs

Tasks passed between people by email, Slack, or memory — and dropped. Now they route automatically and nothing slips.

Scattered data

Your numbers live in five different tools with no single picture. We pull them together and let AI summarise what's actually happening — in one place.

[N.05/09]> Our stack

Boring, proven tools — picked so you never get stuck.

We build on infrastructure that scales on its own and costs pennies while you're small. Nothing exotic, nothing we can't hand over. You own every account.

[N.06/09]> Our work

Growing owner-led businesses — the same busywork underneath.

Teams outgrowing spreadsheets, inboxes, and rented software — and ready to get efficient before the next stage of growth. These two started there.

[CASE 01/04]> Blackbird Tech Solutions · Canada · BC · Security

From first lead to paid invoice

A national security subsidiary running Canada-wide work out of an inbox and two spreadsheets. BTOS carries the job end to end — CRM, field crews, van inventory, and invoices that chase themselves.

[CASE 02/04]> Express Lumpers · BC · Canada & WA · Warehouse labour

Stop paying to send your own crew

A third-party labour agency renting software that charged a fee for every shift dispatched. We built the whole operation instead — contracts and rates, training signed on site, a geofenced crew app, and month end that generates itself.

[ALSO01/01]> Enterprise logistics · Canada

We also run platforms at enterprise scale — including two for Maersk's Canadian subsidiary.

[CASE 03/04]> Maersk (Damco) · Canada · Logistics

Every hour at the gate, accounted for

Hundreds of contract workers, one shared Excel file that kept crashing. We replaced it with shift assignment, photo-verified gate check-in, and payroll hours that compute themselves.

Gate lookup in about a second

A printed Bill of Lading for every load, then four minutes of flipping through a tray while the truck idled at the gate. Now the AI reads it once and the gate finds it instantly.

Our guarantee

You work directly with the senior engineers building your software. You own the code and cloud accounts — take the repo if you leave. We operate it on a retainer. If the first milestone doesn't land, you don't pay for it.

Why not build it in-house?

[ 01 ] Hiring in-house

Recruiting, salaries, benefits and management overhead — before a single thing ships.

[ 02 ] One in-house developer

$145k+ a year, plus the three to six months it takes to find one.

[ 03 ] Athon Labs

You own the code and cloud accounts; we operate it on a retainer, scaled to exactly what you need.

[N.08/09]> How it works

Three steps, and then it's handled.

[ 01 ]

Audit

We map your processes and find where the hours are leaking. You get a clear plan before anything is built.

[ 02 ]

Build & automate

Your senior engineers build the software, end to end.

[ 03 ]

Manage & improve

We run it on retainer, monitor it, and keep improving it.

[N.09/09]> Where the name comes from

Marathon. Hackathon. The suffix means a sustained, focused effort that goes the distance. Most software is treated as a sprint — built fast, shipped, abandoned. Athon Labs is built for the long run.

We build, manage, and keep improving your automation over time — you own the code and cloud accounts, and we operate it on a retainer.

Your business, automated — for the long run.
