Helping Businesses Transform With Custom Software Development
HELPING BUSINESS OWNERS FIND SUCCESS
If you're like most small business owners, you hate spending too much money on off-the-shelf software that only marginally helps your business process. You're getting charged an arm and a leg for every employee that needs access to these enterprise systems, and even then the software is confusing, complicated, or doesn't actually solve the unique needs of the business.
At Winnona Partners, we believe your business shouldn't be forced to fit a one-size-fits-all approach. In fact, your business is special, with its own passion, needs, and aspirations. You deserve to have software that helps you become a leader in your industry.
With over 28 years of friendship and 9 years of helping businesses grow, the Winnona Partners team is uniquely suited to help you save time and money with custom software development. Together, we can create a custom software system that will improve your business, and save you money as you scale.

OUR STORY: FROM BOOTSTRAPPED STARTUP TO BECOMING A LEADER IN THE CUSTOM SOFTWARE INDUSTRY
The Birth of Innovation: Our Entrepreneurial Beginnings
After completing our degrees in college and graduate school, we reunited in our hometown of Decatur, GA. It was 2014, we were in our mid-twenties, and thought that we had come up with the next billion dollar mobile app idea: a location based nightlife app that could show you how fun a bar or nightclub was at any given time.
For over two years we worked tirelessly as scrappy, bootstrapped entrepreneurs without a penny to our name. Even though that particular project didn't become the next Facebook, the skills we learned in software development and bringing a complex product to market proved invaluable.
Most importantly, we learned that the question isn't whether or not software can be built, but whether it should be built. In other words, do you have a clear monetization model in place and evidence that people will be willing to pay for your solution?
Expanding Horizons: From Mobile Apps to National Recognition
By 2016 we began developing mobile apps for clients. Our first client app was a fitness app called BODIED that reached #4 in the Health and Fitness Category on the iOS App Store and got a positive ROI.
Shortly after that, we developed a chat and messaging app called Good Grief that helps match people who are going through similar types of grief from losing a loved one. This app made national news and continues to help people make meaningful connections every day.
Over the years we continued to develop other successful apps for various clients both large and small, one of which called My Panda even made it into the competitive Atlanta TechStars accelerator program in 2022.
At this time, we also refined our process for developing Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) for people who needed a more basic starting point to make their app idea a reality.
Evolving Expertise: Tailoring Solutions for Established Businesses
In 2019, we began shifting our focus from working with startups and entrepreneurs to working with established businesses, such as real estate agencies, insurance firms, and law firms. As a result, our approach to software development also shifted dramatically to help these businesses develop custom CRMs and SaaS products to streamline and automate their business processes.
Today, we continue focusing on what we do best: custom CRM development for businesses who want to improve their internal processes, or custom SaaS development for small businesses who want to bring a new digital product to market.
In addition, we are big proponents of SEO and inbound marketing. We offer a premium SEO service along with custom website development for real estate agencies, law firms, insurance companies, and health and fitness companies who want to become a leader in their industry online.

Furthermore, all of our software is built in-house by our Atlanta software development team. This means that resources and codebases are locked down and extremely secure.
