Your business runs on WhatsApp groups, spreadsheets and memory. Let's fix that.

We build what your customers see and what your team works in as one system. A booking, an order or a problem goes straight to the right person, and you see all of it from your phone.

Same system, five kinds of business, a screen for everyone. The owner sees it all. Everyone else sees only their part.Sample data

What's inside, and who sees it

The parts every business needs, shaped to yours. Start with what hurts most and add the rest when you're ready.

Team and roles

Every person has a login and sees only their part: owner, manager, staff, partners, customers.

Villas: each butler sees their own villas and guests. Yard: each worker sees today's tasks.

Tasks and checklists

The jobs that happen every day, written down once and ticked off by the person who does them.

Villas: housekeeping between guests. Yard: build steps, quality checks, time requests.

Bookings and orders

Everything customers book or order, from every channel, in one calendar the whole team trusts.

Villas: stays, transfers, massages. Travel: boats, charters, supply runs.

Money

Petty cash with receipts, bills coming due, payroll, what's owed and what's paid. You decide who sees what.

Villas: daily petty cash per location. Travel: payouts to each operator.

Daily reports

What happened today, filed by the people who did it, summed up for you every morning.

Yard: work done, hours, resin used, photos. Villas: each guest's stay so far.

Approvals

Anything that costs money or changes a promise stops and waits for the right person. One tap to approve.

Villas: stay extensions, extra costs. Yard: material orders, overtime.

Stock control

Know what's on the shelf, in the vault or in the yard. Every sale and every use updates the count, and you hear about it before something runs out.

Supply shop: rice, water, fuel, spare parts. Gems: every stone, its papers and where it's held.

Online shop

Sell online straight from your stock: orders, card payments, delivery slots and receipts, with no second system to keep in sync.

Supply shop: 48-hour delivery to the islands. Gems: dealers buy straight from the shop.

How we build every system

The same rules run underneath everything we make. We didn't read them in a book: they come from running real businesses on them every day.

The database guards your data

Every person sees only their part. That's enforced by the database itself, not just hidden on the screen.

Running inEssesWorksBayarbangCGEMX

Proof, not promises

A job can't be closed without a photo. When it needs a checklist or readings, those too.

Running inEssesWorksToraja Bambu

AI suggests, you decide

It reads receipts, sorts photos and drafts plans. A person confirms, inside the task, before anything is saved.

Running inEssesWorksToraja BambuMOVbud

Nothing gets deleted

People are switched off, not erased. Every change keeps its history: what, when and who.

Running inEssesWorksBayarbangCGEMX

Money matches the bank

Every line comes from the statement. An unclear line becomes one question for you, never a guess.

Running inEssesWorks

No double bookings

The database refuses a seat sold twice or two charters on the same dates, and checks the price again at payment.

Running inBayarbang

Changes wait for a yes

New staff, new roles, new prices: each shows before and after, and goes live only when confirmed.

Running inToraja BambuBayarbang

Balances you can trust

Points, credits, stock: always the sum of every line, so nothing is ever counted twice.

What we've built so far

Five businesses we know from the inside. Some are clients, some are our own. Here's what each one's customers see, and the systems running behind it.

Boutique villas · Bali & Gili Air

Boat building · composite engineering

Custodian Gem Exchange · for dealers

CGEMX

Livecgemx.com ↗

A trade that still runs on phone calls and trust. We built the whole exchange: a market for certified stones, an insured vault where the finest untreated ones are traded on private offers without ever moving, and the back office that checks, holds, settles and pays out every one of them.

Film production · anywhere in the world

Opiston started inside our own businesses. A villa group, a boat yard, a travel company. Each one ran on WhatsApp groups, spreadsheets and whoever happened to remember. The work that wore people down wasn't the hard part. It was the hundredth message, the receipt nobody kept, the task nobody knew was done.

Every system we tried was built for some imaginary business, not ours. So we built our own, one business at a time, by sitting with the people who'd use it.

That's still how we do it: next to you, changing it as we go, until it's good. If your business runs on memory and WhatsApp, I'd like to hear about it.

Oh, and yes. You also get an AI assistant.

Everyone sells you a chatbot now. That's the easy part. So here's ours, the real one, running this site. Ask it anything about what we build. Ask it something awkward. Ask to talk to a person and it takes your details right here. Yours would do the same for your business, plugged into everything above.
