Busch Automation

Your business shouldn’t need you for everything.

I build custom software and automations for small businesses, from a single workflow that saves you hours to a full system that runs your operation. You tell me what’s slowing you down. I quote one fixed price, build it, and make sure it keeps running.

Example build A roofer’s quote system, working overnight
  1. Customer

    Asks for a roof repair quote on the website

  2. Automatic

    Texts back a price range: $2,150 to $2,600

  3. Customer

    Books an inspection for Thursday at 10 AM

  4. Automatic

    Confirms the booking and schedules a reminder

  5. Automatic

    Owner and crew see the new job on their calendar

Result: a booked job, with zero work from the owner.
Caleb Busch, founder of Busch Automation

Hi, I’m Caleb.

I’m a self-taught developer in Orlando, and I studied cloud computing in college. For the past few years I’ve built and run algorithmic trading systems that operate around the clock with real capital, where reliability isn’t optional. I build your tools the same way, so they keep running long after I hand them over.

Most of the people I work with aren’t technical, and they don’t need to be. They know exactly where their time goes. Figuring out the fix is my job.

A few things I’ve built for myself

  • Algorithmic trading platformA multi-account system that prices markets in real time and manages live orders on regulated exchanges, 24/7.
  • Automated budgetsConnects to my bank accounts and cards, then tracks and sorts spending on its own.
  • Discord botsSeveral, including bots that track P&L and post real-time trade alerts.
  • Nutrition tracking appBarcode scanning, a searchable food database, and saved recipes. My household uses it to log meals and track nutrition in seconds.

Projects start at $500. The first call and the quote are always free, and you get the exact price before any work starts.

Single automation

$500–$1,000

For example: instant replies to new leads, invoice reminders, form entries sent to a spreadsheet.

Connected workflow

$1,000–$2,500

For example: a quote calculator, lead-to-booking flow, or review requests after every job.

Custom tool

For example: a job tracker, client portal, or reporting dashboard.

Business system

For example: intake, scheduling, billing, and reporting in one connected system.

Custom platform

Something else

Let’s talk

Ongoing development, AI projects, unusual ideas, or anything that doesn’t fit above.

Not sure where yours fits? Describe it and I’ll tell you.

Paying for it

Under $1,000 is paid upfront. Above that, half to start and half when it’s delivered. If you want something added along the way, I quote it before doing it.

If something I built doesn’t work the way we agreed in the first 30 days, I fix it. Free.

No fine print games. After that, an optional maintenance plan keeps everything monitored and up to date.

Questions people ask

Do I need to know what software to use?

No. Tell me the problem and I’ll recommend the approach. Where it makes sense, I build on the apps you already pay for.

What happens if it breaks?

Anything I built that doesn’t work as agreed in the first 30 days, I fix free. After that, a maintenance plan covers it, including breaks caused by other apps changing.

Who owns what you build?

You do. Your accounts, your data, and your build stay yours, even if we stop working together.

How long does it take?

Most projects go live in one to two weeks. Your quote includes a delivery date.

Do you only work with Orlando businesses?

I’m based in Orlando, but I work with businesses anywhere in the world.

What would you love to stop doing?

I read every one myself and reply within one business day.

Rough budget

Got it. Thanks for the details.

You’ll get an email from me within one business day with a link to pick a time for our call.
