Automation, Analytics, and IT for small and midsize businesses. We build the tools that cut repetitive work, make your data useful, and connect the systems your team relies on.
Software built for the way your business works.
When spreadsheets, inboxes, and disconnected apps become another job, a focused tool can help. Start with one workflow and build around the people who use it.
Business automation turns receipts into records, activity into time entries, and incoming information into a useful next step. Keep review where your team needs it.
Bring scattered data into a clear view. Review staff hours, check totals, explore locations, and export the information your next task needs.
Connect existing software and databases, build a custom application, or get technical advice on what to change. Keep the parts of your system that work.

04Public geography, address matching, and field tools
Make location information something people can search, explore, and take into the field. Past projects bring address lookup, rooftop coordinates, geographic boundaries, and printable field lists together.
Explore a public example: choose a House district to highlight its area on Oʻahu. The outlines show the precincts grouped within each district.

Built around your work
The work spans time tracking, reporting, GIS, learning platforms, and connected systems. Different projects call for different tools. The starting point is always a real task and the person who needs to do it.
Meet Sam
Bring the problem you keep running into. We look at where the time goes and what a useful change would make possible.
Connect the tools you depend on and build the parts that are missing from your workflow.
Drafts, review points, and clear controls keep the next action in the hands of the person doing the work.
A report, a field list, a time entry, or a working app: the result belongs in your everyday work.
Start with a conversation about what is taking up your time. Decide what to change, then put the solution to work. As your business grows and changes, the tools can grow with it.
Talk through your work, the sticking points, and the time you want back.
Build the solution around the task and the tools your team uses.
Keep improving as your work changes and new needs come up.

I’m Sam Peck, founder of Fuel. I work with small and midsize businesses and nonprofits to make the software they use fit the work they do.
My work includes time tracking for an architecture firm, hours reporting for a nonprofit, a custom learning platform, and GIS tools. I’m based in Hawaii and work with clients across the United States.
Bring me the spreadsheet, the manual handoff, or the task that keeps coming back. We’ll look at what already works and where a focused build can help.
Client feedback on the tools, the process, and the time they have gotten back.

“The experience of working with Sam and fpfuel was the best customer/consultant experience I could have hoped for. Sam was capable beyond expectations and responsive to our needs. The results were quick and dramatic. My entire organization has had a weight lifted off of their shoulders because we solved a gnarly and persistent problem together.”

“Thank you to Sam and the team at Fuel!! I wanted to economize data entry, because it was taking up hours of my time as a small business operator. Sam helped me create a website that reads photos of receipts and automatically populates my bookkeeping spreadsheet with all of the purchase data. Super super useful! These guys are genuinely interested in helping, and can make a very impactful difference with just one phone call. Highly recommend :)”
