Learn about CostForgeSaaSify · Byteflow Software
Focused software for real workflows.
We build small, purposeful products rather than a broad software suite. Our current products are CostForge for trade quoting and job costing, and BF Blocks for reusable Gutenberg blocks. We also publish practical guides around the work those products support.
Current products
Two products, each with a clear job
We currently maintain two active products. Each one has its own audience and workflow rather than being presented as part of an inflated product catalogue.
