Stagg Business Solutions

The engineering broadsheet — custom software & managed platforms

Front page — the own-it edition

We build it. You own it. We run it.

Custom software and managed platforms for whatever your business needs — storefronts, dashboards, ordering, payments, hosting, automation. Built to a fixed price. Every line of the code is yours. No platform fees, ever.

If your business needs it, we build it.

Restaurants, auto shops, retailers, e-commerce brands. Six things every one of them eventually needs — built once, owned outright, run properly.

Retail shop floor — one of the businesses Stagg builds software for
A retail floor in Utah. Behind every counter like this one sit six systems — listed below, in the order a business usually needs them. — Staff, B&W

No. 01 — Commerce

E-commerce & storefronts

Static-generated storefronts that load instantly, rank cleanly, and never rent your own revenue back to you.

Fast by default · Rebuilt on publish

No. 02 — Operations

Admin dashboards & CRMs

Ops consoles that replace Notion, spreadsheets, and stock admin panels with one screen your team actually uses.

Built around your workflow

No. 03 — Front of house

Ordering & booking

Orders, reservations, ticketing — database-enforced so nothing oversells, even when everyone shows up at once.

Oversell-proof by design

No. 04 — Revenue

Payments — processor-agnostic

Card, PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, eCheck. Your processor, your rates, your terms — we never lock you into ours, because we don't have one.

Any processor · No lock-in

No. 05 — Uptime

Managed hosting & monitoring

Production + staging, SSL, daily off-site backups, patching, 24/7 uptime monitoring. One flat monthly rate — and we get paged first.

Flat rate · Optional

No. 06 — Glue

Integrations & automation

Shipping, email, marketing, analytics, SSO — wired together and automated, so the busywork runs itself.

Connected · Automated

The work — proof

Veltrigen logo Featured case — veltrigen.com

One team. The whole stack. The client owns all of it.

Veltrigen is a direct-to-customer e-commerce brand. Stagg runs the entire operation — code, cloud, CI, identity, monitoring — and the client owns 100% of it.

By the Stagg Engineering DeskThis story is printed in full color — the only color in this edition

Most agencies hand over a website. Stagg handed Veltrigen a company's entire operating stack — storefront, back office, cloud, and the pipelines between them — then stayed on to run it. The distinction matters: everything described below belongs to the client, outright, from the first commit.

The storefront is custom and static-generated: zero client-side framework, rebuilt on publish, fast enough that speed is a feature. It ranks cleanly and carries no platform between the brand and its customers.

Behind it, a React/TypeScript ops console at admin.veltrigen.com runs the business — order-pipeline kanban, orders, invoices, inventory and purchase orders, customers, promotions, affiliates, an email center, revenue and analytics dashboards. It replaced Notion, spreadsheets, and a stock admin panel, with a separate affiliate and referral portal standing beside it.

The cloud underneath is AWS, managed entirely with Terraform — custom VPC, encrypted volumes, hourly snapshots, GuardDuty and CloudTrail, MFA-enforced IAM — on a lean monthly bill. GitLab CI/CD ships every change through per-branch preview environments and smoke gates; Prometheus and Grafana watch it, a Playwright E2E suite guards it, and formal security reviews with external vulnerability scanning check the locks. Authentik SSO with Google sign-in covers customers and staff alike.

Second front — the difference

Pay once. Own everything.

Software you rent never becomes yours. Software we build is yours on day one — and if you want us to keep running it, that's one flat monthly rate, not a percentage of your future.

Section D — The model The Stagg press · Page D1

The own-it model

SaaS charges you forever for software that was never yours. We charge you once for software that always is.

Schedule A — Terms of engagement, printed without figures
Item Software rented — SaaS Software owned — Stagg
Engagement Per-seat subscription, every month, forever Fixed price — one number, quoted up front, in writing
Ownership Theirs. It always was. Yours — 100% of the code, from day one
Platform fees Monthly, and rising at every renewal None — ever
Hosting Bundled in, priced their way, on their terms Optional — one flat monthly rate: production + staging, SSL, daily off-site backups, patching, 24/7 monitoring
Processor Their processor, their cut of every sale Any payment processor — your rates, your terms
On departure Cancel, and it all disappears Leave anytime — keep everything

No figures printed in this edition — every build is quoted up front, at the desk Full schedule — the pricing desk

Notice No. 1 — Most projects

Fixed-price build

One number, agreed before work begins.

We build it, hand it over, and it's 100% yours — code, data, infrastructure config, all of it.

Notice No. 2 — Optional, cancel anytime

Managed hosting

One flat monthly rate.

Production + staging, SSL, daily off-site backups, patching, 24/7 uptime monitoring. Something breaks at 3 a.m.? We get paged first.

Notice No. 3 — How RSTS runs today

Revenue-share partnership

No upfront invoice.

For the right business, we build and run the whole platform for a percentage of net revenue. Skin in the game, both directions.

Public notices — Section E · Page E1

Cleared work, kept in its lane.

Government & defense — Stagg maintains a compact federal practice: NIST 800-171 aligned infrastructure, a CMMC Level 2 self-assessment completed, and TS/SCI clearances held by individual engineers available to defense programs.

Corporate past performance elsewhere in this edition is Stagg's own. Government experience is carried by cleared key personnel — the two are not the same, and we don't blur them.
