    Crew pay and builder billing from one board

    A house moves from Waiting to Job Done to Sub paid without anyone retyping it. Billing sees what the crew is owed and what the builder still owes, on the same line. Crews use it on their phones from the roof.

    Every storm call in one ranked queue, and a route for each salesperson by morning

    When a storm hits a tree care company, the phone does not stop. Calls, texts, voicemails, web forms, and emails now land in one queue. Callers rate their own damage on the company's six-point scale, existing clients are recognized from the company's job system, and the map plans a day of stops for each salesperson so the worst jobs get seen first. Live for the 2026 storm season.

    Phone line, voicemail transcription, email intake, map with county parcels, route planner
    Shown: a replay of a real August storm, 877 requests, names and addresses replaced.
    Heat map of storm requests across Omaha, with the five hottest ZIP codes listed
    Hot spots. Where the calls are coming from, by ZIP, as they come in.
    Plan tomorrow: four color-coded routes of ten stops each, one per salesperson, drawn on the map
    Plan tomorrow. A day of stops per salesperson, best jobs first, in driving order.
    Street zoom with county parcel lines drawn around every lot and one request pinned
    Property lines at street zoom. County parcels and the assessor record on every pin, so the estimator knows the lot before the truck rolls.

    Online scheduling that respects how the reps actually travel

    A homeowner books a test or an install from the website, or presses 1 on the phone line and gets a text link. The scheduler only offers slots that fit the rep's territory and that week's travel pattern: in town, local only, or an overnight loop. The appointment lands in their CRM and a text confirms it. Three brands, seven reps, one calendar.

    A booking site that writes straight into the rental desk's system

    Rates, availability, and reservations come from the software the counter already runs on, so the website never disagrees with the desk. A renter books online and the reservation is simply there when they land.

    Website, deposits, rental system API

    Three steps. One number. No surprises.

    Scope it.

    It starts with a conversation. Then we spend time with your office and the people in the field, in person when we have someone nearby, and write it down: what gets built, what it connects to, and a firm price. You know the number before anything starts.

    Build it.

    Fixed fee, milestones you sign off on. You are using working software within weeks, not reviewing slides at the end.

    Run it.

    Every build comes with a monthly retainer. We host it, watch it, and keep improving it as your business grows, so the software keeps up with you.

    The retainer
    The build is the beginning. The retainer is the part that keeps paying off.

    Off-the-shelf software has a big company behind it, and thousands of other customers ahead of you. A change you need goes into a queue, through layers of approvals, and ships when it ships, if it ever does. Working with us, it is just you. You call the shots, we deliver. Your business will change, a vendor will change an API, someone new will need a login on a Monday morning, and the team that built the software is the one that handles it.

    Kept running
    Hosting, backups, monitoring, and security updates. If something breaks at 6 am, we know before you do.
    Kept current
    Fixes and small changes as your process shifts: a new builder, a new trade, a form that needs one more field.
    Kept connected
    QuickBooks, your CRM, the phone line, the vendor APIs. When one of them changes on their end, the integration is repaired before your office notices.
    Kept growing
    A standing call each month on what the office is still doing by hand. Bigger additions get scoped and priced the same way the build was.
    Your data is yours. Customer records, price books, payout rates, and business processes belong to you and come out in an export whenever you ask. The software is licensed to you and maintained by us, which is the whole point of the retainer.

    A small, experienced team that sits in your office before it builds anything.

    Cesta Nova was founded by William Osborn. After studying finance and computer science at SMU, he joined the second cohort of SMU Launch, the university's accelerator that funds student businesses and backs founders who would rather build a company than take the corporate route. That was the bridge to this. It started as one person sitting in a roofing office learning how the work actually flowed, and it is now a group of talented problem solvers with a technical skill set built for walking into a business and fixing what slows it down. We are a young team, comfortable with the newest tools and disciplined about how we use them, so you get modern software built carefully. Each project has one lead you talk to directly. You never explain your business to a project manager who then explains it to a developer.
