Custom software and integrations in Columbia, South Carolina

Custom software and integrations for Columbia businesses. Built when off-the-shelf falls short.

Sometimes the tool you need doesn't exist: a portal your customers can actually use, a quoting tool that knows your prices, a dashboard that knows your operation. We design and build it, connect it to everything else you run, and put it on accounts you own. Krastor is based in Clyde, in Haywood County, in the North Carolina mountains, and serves Columbia on site and remotely.

Custom software in Richland County

The missing link for firms that outgrew their tools.

Columbia firms outgrow generic software in specific ways: the bid process that lives in four tools, the client onboarding that takes eleven steps across three logins, the compliance report an institutional client expects that takes a person a day to build.

The fix is usually smaller than feared: one missing piece, built to fit what's already in place. A client portal, a bid configurator, a dashboard that reads your real systems. Built once, on your accounts, maintained by us.

That holds across Columbia: downtown and the Vista, Five Points and Devine Street, Forest Acres and Harbison, the Northeast and Blythewood, and across the river in Cayce, West Columbia, and Lexington.

More about Columbia

What we build when the fix needs building

The missing piece, built and connected.

Customer portals

Your customers check their job, their order, or their balance themselves, in a portal with your name on it, instead of calling your office.

Dashboards and configurators

Quoting and configuration tools that price from your real rules: your options list, your rates, your actual product line.

Integrations between your systems

The CRM, the books, the operational system, and the follow-up, passing work to each other with no human carrying it.

Payment and transaction systems

Deposits, progress payments, and final bills collected inside the flow of the work, with the records landing in your books automatically.

Built on the Company Brain

The tools we build draw on your Company Brain, so a portal answers from your real policies and a configurator prices from your real past jobs, not from a demo database.

Built on your accounts

Your domain, your hosting, your payment accounts. We build as your developer, on ground you control outright.

Rules to know

AI and data rules in South Carolina.

We found no broad AI law or consumer-privacy law for South Carolina private businesses as of September 2026. Federal and industry rules still apply.

Keep sensitive customer data out of public AI tools unless your vendor contract covers it.

This is a plain-English summary, not legal advice.

Questions

Straight answers.

Who owns what?

Your website, your data, and your accounts live under your logins and stay yours, exportable any time. Krastor owns the automation architecture and agent designs we bring to the work; you license those while we run them. The exact split is in writing before anything is built.

How is this different from hiring a developer?

A developer hands you software and leaves. We build the piece, connect it to the rest of your operation, run it afterward, and report on what it does for the business. If it stops earning, you'll hear it from us.

Do you work with businesses in Columbia and Richland County?

Yes. Krastor is based in Clyde, North Carolina.

Can you connect our CRM to our accounting so bids stop getting retyped?

Yes. That's one of the most common integrations we build here: the bid lands, the contract posts, and the records match without a second entry.

What happens to our data and accounts if we stop working with you?

They stay yours. We'll hand over a clean export and documentation, and the transition terms are agreed in writing before the build starts, not negotiated on the way out.
