Tell us what's costing you time or money.
Fast, simple software, made to fit your business.
Rio Softworks builds software in the Rio Grande Valley. We're starting with HVAC, plumbing, electrical and roofing companies, and we're glad to talk with any local business. English or Spanish, whichever you prefer.
Does this sound like your business?
- You miss calls while you're on a job. By the time you call back, they've found someone else.
- You have customers who should get a tune-up every year, and you only remember who's due when they call because something broke.
- Your quotes, your schedule and your customer list live in a notebook, in your texts and WhatsApp chats, and in your head.
- You've looked at software before. It was built for a big company in another state, in English only, with a monthly price that made no sense for a shop your size.
If yours isn't on this list, tell us anyway.
How a conversation goes
- You talk, we listen. What costs you time, what costs you money, what you do by hand that you're tired of doing.
- We tell you straight. What we can do about it, and whether it's something that already exists or something we build for you.
- If there's a fit, we put it in writing before anything starts: what we'll build, what it leaves out, what it costs to build, and what it costs each month to keep running. You decide.
What we can do about it
Point you to something that already exists.
If the problem is missed calls, the answer is the AI receptionist from Rio Leads AI, the company Rio Softworks is part of. It answers in English and Spanish and sends you who called and what they need, by WhatsApp and email.
Build something small for your shop.
A tool that does one job well and works alongside what you already use: your phone, WhatsApp, the apps you already pay for.
Take on a bigger project.
If your problem needs a larger build, we start with a series of conversations, scope it out with you in writing, and build it to a deadline we agree on together.
Who we are
Rio Softworks builds software for small businesses. It was founded by Ricardo Carrillo Velasco:
“I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley, studied at UTRGV, and was lucky enough to spend several years as a software engineer at Google's headquarters. I came back because I wanted to bring what I learned in Silicon Valley to the community that raised me. Rio Softworks is how I do that: I sit down with you, listen to what's costing you time or money, and find or build something that fits the way you already work.”
Start with a conversation. Call, send a WhatsApp or write an email. Tell us what's costing you time, and we'll tell you straight what we can do.
