KCCS makes custom tools for the things SaaS doesn't cover. Internal apps, hardware integrations, client portals, dashboards that don't suck. Shipped in weeks — not quarters.
A walk through six of our favorites. Most of these started as "we need a tool that does X." None existed off the shelf, so we built them.
Email attachments are a security nightmare. Dropbox links leak. Google Drive permissions are a maze. SecureShare lets you fire off a password-protected, time-limited, view-limited, GeoIP-restricted share link in one CLI command — and get a Telegram ping the moment a client opens it.
UniFi's web UI for moving PTZ cameras is clunky as hell — buttons that overshoot, no momentum, lag between input and movement. Helmsman gives you a real virtual joystick with analog deflection so you can ride a camera around a parking lot one-handed. Single Python file, runs anywhere.
pueblokc/helmsmanYou've got tabs. You've got Slack. You've got Obsidian. You've got 19 dashboards. You can't find anything when you need it. Nerve Center is one always-on window with the things you actually look at — open loops, today's schedule, server health, recent worklog entries, and the quick-action buttons you mash 40 times a day.
Note apps want you to organize. Todo apps want you to prioritize. Time trackers want you to categorize. We didn't want any of that. Braindump captures one-line thoughts and gets out of the way. Worklog logs what you worked on without nagging. Both sync to Obsidian. Both have native Android builds.
Their gym management SaaS does the basics. It doesn't do their business — front-desk check-in flow, the rolling intel report the GM looks at every morning, the staff dashboard combining attendance + class data + visit history. So we built it. Three apps that pull from the SaaS API and present what staff actually need.
FreePBX is great. Its built-in CDR view is from 2009. pbxstats reads call detail records and turns them into the dashboards you actually want: per-extension stats, per-queue stats, per-tenant rollups, call patterns over time, "who called this number in the last 30 days." Multi-tenant — one install, many clients.
Twelve more we'd happily talk about. None of these are marquee. All are real. All are running somewhere.
Translates UniFi Protect alarms into Noonlight professional-monitoring dispatches.
Safe Python API + Electron admin for UrBackup, after we lost a day to the API corrupting every client's settings.
Professional security reports for clients — audit data turned into something non-technical owners actually read.
Real-time signal mapping, channel analysis, interference detection. Without the bloat.
Live firewall status without opening the pfSense web UI. Notifies on link flaps.
Desktop VPS admin — provisioning, snapshots, rebuilds without opening a browser tab.
Network topology visualization. Imports from UniFi, exports to anyone.
Email generation + automation. Drafts, sends, tracks. We use it daily.
One-click remote access — VPN, RDP, SSH, file transfer in a single tray app.
ChatGPT-OAuth-backed Telegram agent for one-tap delegation from the phone.
KCCS-branded Kopia + Restic toolkits with the gotchas already solved.
Virtual-scrolling desktop log analyzer with live tail. Like less but you can see.
Same skills, your problem.
The dashboard, intake form, automation, or report that would save a person two hours a day. We've built dozens. Usually small. Always worth it.
Like the one you're looking at. Or like SecureShare. Branded, secure, hostable on your domain — or ours.
Network monitoring, backup orchestration, alerting, dashboards. We run this stuff on our own infrastructure every day.
UniFi (Network + Protect), FreePBX, pfSense, Sonos, Home Assistant. If it has an API or a serial port, we can talk to it.
Three steps. No sales funnel.
Quick form below — no call required. Tell us what's broken or missing. We read it, sleep on it, and reply within a business day.
If it's a fit, you get one number, scope locked. No "we'll bill hourly and see what happens." All async — chat or email.
Most projects deliver in 2–6 weeks. You get a working build to use — not a slide deck.
KCCS is a small shop in Pueblo, Colorado. Justin "Kc" Fahmie runs it. We've been doing IT and MSP work for over a decade — backups, networks, phone systems, the usual.
Recently we've been spending more time on the software side: building the tools we couldn't find off the shelf, then realizing other businesses wanted them too.
We use what we build. SecureShare runs our own client deliveries. Worklog tracks our own time. Nerve Center is on Justin's second monitor right now.
If you have a thing you wish existed, we'd rather build it than tell you to buy SaaS that almost-fits.
Send us the idea below. We read every one, sleep on it, and reply within a business day. No sales call, no CRM drip, no "thanks for your inquiry." Just an email back with yes / no / maybe and how long.
