Not IT support.
Not a dev shop.
Something rarer.

A technologist who understands your business, builds the right thing, and builds it to last. Systems that have been running for 20+ years don’t happen by accident.

Small business problem solver.

“Systems, integrations, and custom applications — built to solve real business problems and stay solved.”

Lyon Computer Services has been helping small businesses work smarter since 2001. For over two decades, the focus has been singular: identify the actual problem, design the right solution, and build it well enough that it’s still running years later.

This isn’t managed IT. There are no help desk tickets, no monthly support plans, no printer problems. Lyon CS works at the systems level — databases, integrations between business platforms, and custom web applications that fill the gaps off-the-shelf software never quite covers.

The proof is in the longevity. Several client systems built in the early 2000s remain in active production today. That’s not luck — it’s what happens when you take the time to understand a business before writing a single line of code.

What we do.

01 — Data
Database Development

Relational databases designed for the way your business actually works — not how a vendor assumed it would. Schema design, query optimization, reporting, and data modeling built for durability and clarity.

02 — Connect
System Integrations

ERP, CRM, accounting platforms, industry-specific software — they rarely talk to each other out of the box. We build the bridges: reliable, maintainable data flows that eliminate manual re-entry and keep your systems in sync.

03 — Build
Web Application Development

Custom web applications for the workflows that off-the-shelf software doesn’t cover. Internal tools, client portals, data-entry interfaces — built to fit your process, not the other way around.

// selected work

25 years. 7 industries.
Systems still running.

A cross-section of projects spanning accounting, marine operations, energy, manufacturing, hospitality, and logistics. Client names are omitted by convention — the work speaks for itself. Several of these systems remain in active production today.

Accounting & Business Services
Multi-Restaurant Payroll & Compliance Platform
Still operational Web application ERP integration 100+ locations

A suite of applications supporting state and federal tax filing, new hire reporting, and payroll compliance across 100+ restaurant locations. Included a client portal for accounts payable (with payment selection), HR, financials, and on-demand financial report downloads — plus integrations from third-party payroll providers into the client's ERP.

Marine & Port Operations
Port HR Data Consolidation & Wharfage Billing System
Still operational ERP integration Billing automation Multi-system

Two distinct engagements in the port and maritime sector: consolidation of HR data processing with ERP integration for a major international port operator; and a purpose-built wharfage billing application with deep ERP integration for a marine terminal operator. Both replaced manual processes with auditable, automated workflows.

Marine Services
Marine & Contractor Job Billing Application
Still operational Web application 3rd-party data acquisition Payment processing

End-to-end job management for marine and contractor billing — from job creation through payment. Included data acquisition from a third-party system, processing and integration into the application's own data model, and full billing and payment workflows.

Energy & Multi-Entity Operations
Enterprise Reporting Platform & Data Warehouse
Still operational Data warehouse 40+ entities KPI dashboards ERP integration

A comprehensive reporting and analytics platform consolidating data across 40+ company entities into a central data warehouse. Delivered executive KPI dashboards, detailed operational reporting, and integration pipelines from multiple third-party systems into ERP.

Electronics Manufacturing
Legacy System Migration — Parts, Quotes & Workflow
In active development Web application Legacy migration Full workflow

The current flagship engagement. A ground-up replacement of a legacy desktop system for an electronics components manufacturer — rebuilt as a modern web application managing the full lifecycle of parts, contacts, quotes, and samples. The new platform brings structure, visibility, and efficiency to workflows that had outgrown their original tooling. Active development continues as the system expands to cover additional business processes and users.

Community & Non-Profit
10+ years WordPress Ongoing stewardship

Long-term web presence management for Cougar Cookers, a Houston-based 501(c)(3) supporting the University of Houston and the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. The organization participates in the annual Rodeo Cook-Off and awards scholarships to UH Frontier Fiesta student leaders. A decade-plus of quiet, reliable stewardship — keeping the lights on for a cause worth supporting.
