Service-member-owned, low-fee online business management built from the Gulf Breeze and Pensacola area for contractors, shops, service teams, and any small business that needs to get organized: clients, commercial service locations, jobs, estimates, invoices, multiple-truck inventory, stock transfers, fleet reminders, payments, schedules, owner salary and overhead profit targets, feedback conversations, reports, and team logins in one hosted workspace. Updates and upgrades happen monthly with the goal of making small-business life easier. The hosted web app is live now, and a lightweight desktop client is in active development but not public yet.
I am a proud military brat who moved to Gulf Breeze, Florida, in 2003 and graduated from Gulf Breeze High School in 2014. I still call Gulf Breeze home whenever I can - Go Dolphins - and the 850 has always been a big part of my life and my story.
I am currently serving in the Army and stationed away from home, but I make it back to the 850 whenever possible. I even married the love of my life on Momentum Church's new property, which made this area mean even more to me. That is one of the reasons this project is called 850 Work.
The idea started because my best friend of more than 15 years went out on his own and started a business. He needed a simple way to keep track of jobs, invoices, and daily work. When I looked into what some bigger platforms charged for teams, I saw prices that could reach $1,500 to $3,000 a month. For small businesses and hardworking family shops, that just is not realistic.
He did not need bloated software, so I told him I would build something myself. With the support of my wife, I started building 850 Work as a service-member-owned small business: a simple, affordable, reliable workspace for people who are actually out doing the work.
850 Work is being improved with monthly updates and upgrades. The goal is simple: keep making life easier for small-business owners, crews, office staff, and family shops without forcing them into expensive software they do not need.
My long-term goal is to release a lightweight desktop application as a one-time purchase that works for years without expensive subscriptions. The hosted web app is available now, and the lightweight desktop client is in active development but not public yet.
My Army background is in logistics and operations, including purchases and accountability for large amounts of money. That is why organization, tracking, and reliability matter so much to me. At the end of the day, I am one guy trying to build something useful for hardworking people, backed by my wife and the community that raised me.
