About

A name, not a pitch.

Taylor Built is a pun before it's a promise. It's also the whole approach.

I'm Scott Taylor. I didn't set out to run a software business, I started building tools because the ones already on the shelf never quite matched how the work actually happened. A dashboard that showed the wrong numbers. A quoting spreadsheet that only one person really understood. A tracker held together with formulas nobody wanted to touch.

So I built replacements. Not because it was my job, but because I could see exactly where the friction was, and building something that fit was usually faster than adapting to something that didn't.

Taylor Built grew out of that habit. It's the same approach, offered to other businesses with the same kind of problem: a process that works, held together by something that shouldn't have to.

The name is a play on "tailor-built", made to measure, not pulled off a rack. That's the actual method, not just the wordplay. Every project starts by understanding the process as it exists today, then building something cut to fit it.

How I work

A few things that stay fixed across every project.

Principle

Understand before building

No build starts until the current process is properly understood, including the parts that are awkward to explain.

Principle

Fit the business, not the reverse

The tool changes to match how you work. You shouldn't have to change how you work to match the tool.

Principle

Plain, working software

No unnecessary complexity, no feature list for its own sake. Just something that does the job reliably.

Principle

Straight answers

If a bespoke build isn't the right call for a problem, that's the advice you'll get, even if it means no project.

Have a process worth talking through?

No obligation, just an honest read on whether a bespoke build is worth it.
