Line-of-business applications
Custom desktop, web, and mobile systems for the work only your team does: requests, approvals, inventories, check-ins, dispatch, and reporting. They connect to the ERPs, SSO, and APIs you are keeping.
Baton Rouge · Louisiana
Consulting and custom line-of-business software.
We design and build the desktop, web, and mobile applications operations teams actually run on — staffing, procurement, payments, and the rest of the unglamorous work that keeps a company moving. On mobile, we specialize in the hardware those apps have to drive. We put AI into those applications — the old ones and the new ones — when the process needs them. We also review software and firmware for law firms and engineering teams — when the code is evidence or a compliance risk, and when a team needs senior or architecture-level review and guidance, including to expand.
Services
Software that fits the business, not the other way around.
Off-the-shelf tools stop where your process is specific. We take that process from a sketch through production on desktop, web, and mobile, then stay on as the system grows. That includes SCO Unix, HP-UX, AS/400, older Linux, Windows XP, 2000, 98, and other systems that never got a migration.
Consulting & delivery
Architecture, rebuilds, and hands-on engineering. We sit with operators, write the software, and ship it into daily use.
Legacy and obscure systems
SCO Unix, HP-UX, AS/400, older Linux, Windows XP, 2000, 98, and the rest of the platforms shops often will not touch. We work on them in place, integrate around them, or work in parallel to build and migrate to modern systems.
AI inside your applications
We add AI to the applications you already run — including the old ones — and to the systems we build. That can be intelligent OCR that reads invoices, tickets, or shop paperwork, or letting people work the software through tools they already use, like Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT.
Hardware integrations
On mobile we specialize in the devices in the field: networked and Bluetooth printers, card readers, payment terminals, barcode scanners, and NFC readers. They are part of the app, not a brittle add-on.
WordPress & legacy replacement
Keep WordPress installs secure, recover from malware, and migrate off the CMS when it is the wrong tool. Spreadsheets and aging platforms become applications people can run a season on — with imports so you do not start from zero.
Cloud, hosting & compliance
AWS, Azure, GCP, and other clouds, or your own machines. SOC 2–minded builds, PCI / PA-DSS when payments are in play, and uptime that operators can trust.
Ongoing partnership
Support after launch. When the original request changes — and it will — the software should still be ours to change with you.
Source-code review
A technical reading of the software and firmware.
For law firms when the code is evidence or a compliance risk. For engineering teams when they are expanding, or when they need senior or architecture-level review and guidance.
What we examine
Application source, firmware, build artifacts, and the path from repository to what shipped. Marketing claims and architecture slides are not the record.
Who it is for
Law firms when software is evidence or a compliance risk — patents, trade secrets, copyright, acquisitions. Engineering teams that are expanding, or that need a senior or architecture-level reading of the system.
How findings land
Written so a law firm can use them in the matter, or so an engineering team can use them to change the system: methods, versions, dates, and the trail through the code.
Languages
Deep expertise across a wide range of languages: Assembly, C, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, Objective-C, Swift, PHP, Python, Ruby, RPGLE, and SQL. That covers web, mobile, desktop, firmware, and the device stacks around them.
Selected work
Systems in production, not slide decks.
A sample of custom platforms we have designed, built, and kept running.
Product
Branch Invoicing
A workspace we built for agencies, consultants, and professional-services teams: time, expenses, estimates, invoices, and a signed-in client portal — web, iPhone, iPad, and Android.
- Invoices from tracked work, retainers, deposits, and credit notes.
- AI receipt and purchase-order reading, plus QuickBooks, Xero, and Stripe when accounting is ready.
Staffing
nStaffMMC
Outage and non-outage staffing for a power contractor. Replaced a forms stack with a Rails system staffing coordinators can run a season on.
- Org chart builder whose positions publish into outage requests.
- Candidate, pay, status, and hiring actions on the full request — not a PDF afterthought.
Procurement
PowerReq
A purchase-requisition platform in front of Viewpoint. Field and office staff raise reqs; approvals and job/vendor data stay in sync with the ERP instead of living in email.
- Roles, an approval matrix, attachments, and activity history.
- Jobs, vendors, and charge codes read from Viewpoint; Azure AD for sign-in.
Hospitality · Payments
City Sightseeing POS
A PA-DSS iOS point of sale with MagTek, Infinite Peripherals, Zebra, and Star Micronics hardware — millions of tickets sold, for use on the street, not just a counter. Built for tour operations that cannot wait on a register.
- Order entry, discounts, payment, and device status in one iPad app.
- Readers and printers as first-class Bluetooth and network devices, with live status instead of a mystery failure.
- A Back Office platform for reporting, analytics, accounting, and online ordering.
About
We write the software and stay with it.
French Quarter IT, LLC was founded in 2011. We work from Baton Rouge with operators who need software that matches how they actually work — not another brochure site, and not a platform they cannot change that only half-fits their processes.
The work includes long-running desktop, web, and mobile line-of-business platforms for staffing, procurement, payments, and the systems around them — and source-code review when a law firm needs a forensic reading, or an engineering team needs senior or architecture-level guidance, including when they are expanding.
We build primarily in Rails and Node, with native desktop where it belongs, and iOS, Android, and React Native when the work is in the field. Mobile apps include the hardware they run with: printers, readers, payment terminals, scanners. When a process needs it, we add AI to the system in place rather than parking a chatbot next to it. Hosting follows the client: AWS, Azure, GCP, other clouds, or bare metal.
Contact
Tell us what the business is stuck on.
If a process is still in email, spreadsheets, or software you have outgrown — if you need AI or agents inside software you already run — or if a law firm or engineering team needs a technical reading of source or firmware, for a matter, for expansion, or for architecture guidance — that is the conversation we want.
