5280 Systems is a hyper-lean, zero-employee consultancy. No account managers, no offshore dev team — the person who audits your stack is the same person who builds and ships the fix.
derek@go5280systems.comI'm an automation engineer and systems architect based in Aurora, Colorado. I started 5280 Systems after watching how much revenue local home service businesses — plumbers, HVAC techs, roofers, electricians, landscapers — lose to problems in their tech stack they were never equipped to diagnose themselves.
Most of what's actually costing contractors jobs isn't visible from the office: quote emails silently landing in spam, lead forms dropping half their fields before they hit the CRM, calls going to voicemail with no path back to a live person. None of it shows up until you go looking for it — so that's what I do first, before proposing anything.
Every diagnostic and every deployment runs through one person, start to finish. Nothing gets handed off between a sales call and the actual build, because there isn't a handoff to make.
The same process whether the outcome is a $650 speed-to-lead bridge or a full revenue engine build.
A real technical audit — email headers, DNS records, lead form payloads, and call-routing paths checked against how they should actually behave. Not a sales call framed as an audit.
A written diagnostic report plus a short, personalized Loom walkthrough pointing at the specific failure in your stack — not a generic checklist. You keep this whether or not you hire us to fix it.
Every pipeline deploys into software accounts you create and own — Make.com, Twilio, your CRM. We never host or hold client workflow data on agency-owned infrastructure.
Every build is tested with real test submissions before handoff. Guided onboarding typically runs 2–3 weeks, mostly gated by carrier registration timelines — not by us.
Every build deploys to your own accounts. 5280 Systems does not host or pay for client workflow data — retainer fees cover engineering oversight, never infrastructure markup.
We don't pitch a build until we've found a specific, provable leak in your own stack. If the audit finds nothing worth fixing, we tell you that.
Nothing ships without a real test run first — you watch it work before you sign off, not after.
