When Software Doesn't Exist, We Build It.

When off-the-shelf software, disconnected systems, and manual processes get in the way, we build solutions that streamline operations, automate workflows, and help your organization work smarter.

The CKT development team has helped us create our own ERP software for our unique industry. The software/app does everything from a contact database that integrates with quoting to submittals, projects, invoicing, and billing. This all-in-one system has helped us reduce redundancy in our processes and better serve our customers.

Ann Ritchie @ Vaughn SPOT Controller
One of our customers was unsatisfied with having an amalgam of tools as well as data all over sharepoint to run their day to day operations. Things were a combination of hand-written, living in peoples heads, managed across different tools that couldn’t communicate.
Instead of trying to fit their process into an existing CRM or tool we built a custom CRM / ERP for them that fit their business processes.
Three of their plants spread across Wyoming, Texas, and Colorado run day to day operations with the software we built for them. Hundreds of projects and thousands of invoices have been generated by the platform which continues to be a success as well as new deployments and updates every week.

We selected this technology stack to be scalable for long-term development, and reliable for a high uptime.

Working with Scott on the HCHOTV website was a genuinely great experience. What stood out most was how patient and approachable he was throughout the entire process -- no question felt too small, and he always made collaboration feel easy. He's a skilled developer who gets things done efficiently, but what really sets him apart is how much of a team player he is. I always felt like we were working together toward the same goal, not just handing tasks back and forth. I'd work with him again without hesitation.

The platform gave us real-time visibility and significantly reduced manual reporting.

AI is a new frontier in the coding space, and it can be a struggle to find out where to start.
We have leveraged chatbot APIs like Claude, and smaller, server-hosted LLM models to build webapps, portals, APIs, and MCPs that can help users accomplish tasks dynamically, within a system of guardrails that make “where to start” a non-issue for the less technologically inclined.
Our users have access to as robust and fully featured – or simple and clever – tools as they would like, which perform tasks that boost productivity.

When people in the community depend upon the website to be available and accessible to plan our their leisure time, uptime is one of the highest priorities
We incorporated multiple levels of site redundancy and scalability for hosting this site via Amazon Web Services. When traffic surges new servers spin up automatically to meet the demand. Traffic is then load balanced to be directed to the different servers and sets securely behind a web application firewall protecting them from various attack vectors

This client has spikes of 20,000 visitors at once during sales and needed a hosting platform with adequate resources and caching to keep sales coming in under heavy traffic. The site was also using outdated plugins.
Leveraged our cloud hosting provider, Pantheon, to migrate and host this website on global infrastructure across multiple availability zones, servers, and caching layers as well as implemented improvements and changes throughout the site. Implemented new plugins without service drops.

Client Testimonials

Advanced Engineering and Environmental Services (AE2S)

"Working with Common Knowledge Technology (CK-Tek) has been one of the best vendor relationships we've experienced. Their team provides outstanding support across our server infrastructure, security, maintenance, and day-to-day troubleshooting needs. Scott and Nicholas have been phenomenal partners. They are incredibly responsive, highly knowledgeable, and consistently deliver solutions that are both effective and practical. Whether the issue is a critical server concern, a security enhancement, or an unexpected technical problem, I know I can count on them for timely assistance and expert guidance. Beyond their technical expertise, what I appreciate most is their genuine commitment to helping us succeed. They take ownership of problems, communicate clearly, and make even complex situations manageable. Their support has had a meaningful impact on our ability to maintain secure, stable, and reliable systems"

"Nick and the rest of the CKT development team have been great to work with on developing our new website. While we were in a point of transition on developers who started our website, Nick and his team stepped up and assisted us with any website concerns or improvements. They met with us weekly until we were comfortable with our site launch and they continue to help us improve our website when we want to implement any changes. Their communication is what impresses me most about them. They are responsive whenever we run into any website questions or concerns. They do a great job with finding the root of the problem and provide multiple solutions that give us full control on how to go about resolving it."

"We've really appreciated working with CKT. They took us on under a very unique situation and picked right up when we needed them! Their team has always been responsive, easy to work with, and quick to help whenever we've had questions or needed website updates. If our main contact is unavailable, we are easily connected to another individual that is just as great to work with. They make the process straightforward, communicate well, and consistently provide excellent service. It's been a pleasure working with them, and I would definitely recommend CKT to other organizations looking for a dependable website and hosting partner."
