Software That Fits Your Business, Not the Other Way Around

Most small businesses don’t have a software problem. They have a fit problem. The tools are out there, but they were built for someone else’s business, so you end up paying monthly for features you never use, juggling five logins, and copying the same information from one system into another.

At Razenet, we’re a small, family-owned company right here in Red Deer. We build our own WordPress plugins, and we build them for businesses like yours: busy owners who need things to work, work together, and stay affordable as they grow.

Why Small Businesses Outgrow Off-the-Shelf Tools

When you’re starting out, a patchwork of apps can get you by. But as you add customers, staff and services, the cracks start to show:

• Subscriptions stack up. Every new tool adds another monthly bill, often per user, per seat or per site.
• Systems don’t talk to each other. Bookings live in one place, invoices in another, customer details in a third.
• Key features are paywalled. The one thing you really need is always “available on the next plan up.”
• Your workflow gets bent to fit the software. Instead of the software adapting to how your team actually works.

Our plugins are designed to solve exactly these problems, directly inside the website you already have.

How Razenet Plugins Help You Grow

Our plugin line covers the everyday jobs that keep a small business running. Here are a few of the ways they put time and money back in your pocket:

You can browse the full lineup of paid and free plugins on our Razenet Plugin Overview page.

That’s the heart of how we sell software. Our paid plugins can be purchased outright, or paid off in manageable monthly instalments until you own them for life. Every purchase also helps fund the free plugins we give away to the community, because we believe good tools should be within reach of every small business.

When Off-the-Shelf Isn’t Enough: We’ll Build It for You

Here’s where we’re different from a typical plugin store. We don’t just sell software. We write it. That means if one of our plugins is almost perfect for you, we can customize it. And if what you need doesn’t exist yet, we can build it from scratch.

We work with you to create plugins and web applications around the way your business actually runs:

• Your workflows. Quoting, scheduling, job tracking, intake forms, approvals, all mapped to how your team works today.
• Your integrations. Connect booking, invoicing, payments, client accounts and the third-party services you already rely on.
• Your branding. Tools that look and feel like part of your website, fully responsive on phones, tablets and desktops.
• Your growth. Start with what you need now and add features as your business expands, without switching platforms.

Whether it’s a custom client dashboard built from shortcodes across multiple plugins, a booking system tied into invoicing with deposits, or a full job-shop management tool, we’ve built it, and we can build yours.

Built Secure From the First Line of Code

We know code, and our experts know online cyber security. That combination matters. Every solution we build is designed to protect your data and keep it out of the hands of the wrong kind of people, whether that’s hackers, bots, or anyone who simply shouldn’t have access.

We’ve seen first-hand what attacks on websites look like, and we build our tools with those lessons in mind: secure logins, approved-plugin whitelisting, role-based access, automatic backups and regular security monitoring.

And when your business needs an even higher level of protection, we can go further:

Whether your tools live online, offline, or behind a VPN, you’ll know exactly who can access your information, and who can’t.

Your Data Is Yours. Always.

With a lot of software today, your business information is locked inside someone else’s platform. If you ever want to leave, getting your data out can be difficult, expensive, or impossible. We don’t work that way.

The data you collect with our plugins and custom solutions belongs to you. Customer records, bookings, invoices, tickets and everything else live in your own website database, not on our servers. That means you stay in control of it.

That last point is important. We plan to be here for a long time, but we also believe in being honest with our clients. In the unlikely event that our company could no longer support development, your business would not be left stranded. You would be free to hire your own developers to continue maintaining and customizing your software, so the tools your business depends on keep working and keep growing with you.

Local Support That Actually Picks Up the Phone

Software is only as good as the people behind it. Businesses on our Managed IT Services (MSP) plans receive ongoing support for any Razenet plugin they purchase, priority booking, access to our support ticketing system, and local and remote coverage for the computer issues you and your staff run into.

Because we also handle hosting, domains, web design, business email and IT support, you get one trusted local team, not a help desk on the other side of the world.
