One hiring problem started it all.

A hiring manager came to Mike with more applications than her team could handle. The company was hiring people just to read résumés and assess basic fit. She needed a way to review applicants against the criteria that mattered to her business.

That became Angie’s Job Board, our first project. We built custom screens, connections to other tools, and AI-assisted résumé review around the team’s hiring process. The system went on to handle thousands of automated résumé reviews.

It planted the idea behind Shancorps: every business should be able to own technology that works the way it needs. And if that solution could help another business, its owner should be able to sell it.

We began building the foundation.

To make custom technology practical for more businesses, we needed a way to move quickly without rebuilding the basics every time. We started building reusable software parts to keep projects secure, reliable, and easy to adapt.

Over the next three years, that work grew to nearly half a million lines of code. It gave us a head start on each project while letting us adapt the screens and connected tools to how each business works.

That investment still shapes how we work. We can rethink a feature or change the screens while keeping the groundwork underneath it. Changing direction is part of finding the right solution.

Our software reached its first paying customer.

The work was now supporting a paying customer in a real business. Our foundation had to serve people doing daily work, with their own priorities, habits, and expectations.

As more projects followed, we learned that delivering exactly what someone asked for did not always mean they would use it. A finished feature could still leave employees working around the system. Understanding the owner’s request was only the beginning; we also had to understand the people doing the work.

That lesson changed our definition of delivery. We began focusing on whether employees used the software, whether it helped, and what needed to change.

AI tools became standard. Clients began selling their software.

We made custom AI tools a standard part of our offering and completed our first significant resale of a client-owned solution. Technology could improve a business internally and become a product other businesses would pay to use.

Angies showed why industry knowledge mattered alongside the software. Its hiring manager had the relationships and experience to find customers for the hiring software. Projects such as Prospect Primer reinforced that opportunity: solve a problem you understand, own the solution, and offer it to others.

Our AI tools use the software’s records and features to complete agreed tasks and report back. Today, connections also let AI assistants use the information and tools in that software. Better AI gives us more ways to help, and gives customers more control over their technology.

A dozen more companies. The same commitment.

This year, we have brought on another dozen companies. Our focus remains personal: understand where work gets stuck, choose something worth improving, and work with the team until the solution fits.

At Los Angeles Surrogacy, direct employee feedback shaped repeated revisions until usage became consistent. That experience reflects how we work today: measure, observe, adjust, and repeat. The first build gives us something to learn from; what happens in the business tells us what to do next.

You work directly with Mike from the first conversation to launch, with help from our team on communication and software testing. From Safety Harbor, Florida, we meet local teams where the work happens and work remotely with businesses across the United States and Canada.

Our purpose is to give time and control back to owners and operators. As technology improves, so does our ability to do that together.
