About Keyturn Software

We help small to medium businesses stop renting their software. We build the CRM, website, and applications they run on, put everything in their name, and train their teams to get the most from it.

Why we started

Small and medium businesses pay a growing stack of monthly subscriptions for software that was designed for someone else, priced per seat, and raised at every renewal. AI development tools have made custom software affordable for a business of ten people, not just ten thousand. We started Keyturn Software so smaller businesses can own the tools they depend on, with honest advice about what is worth replacing and what is not.

Why "Keyturn"?

Software companies love the word turnkey: ready to use, just switch it on. The catch is that with a subscription, they keep the key. Stop paying and you are locked out of your own customer list.

Keyturn Software flips that around. I build software around how your business works, then turn the keys over to you: the code, the data, the domain, and the hosting accounts, all in your name, with no rent to pay.

How we work

  • Plain English. No jargon, and every recommendation comes with a cost and an expected saving.
  • You own it. Software, data, and accounts are in your name.
  • You can run it. Your team is trained to manage the software, and you learn to change and improve it yourself with AI.
  • Honest about limits. If keeping a subscription is cheaper, we say so.
  • People first. AI drafts and sorts; your team stays in charge of decisions and customers.
