My ventures are built on a common philosophy – fix the process first, apply engineering discipline, simplify the system, and use technology only where it truly matters. Over the years, this philosophy led to the creation of Nine Software Solutions, Shoppeboard, and several emerging initiatives that continue to evolve under the same principles.
Nine Software Solutions (NSS)
A Process-First Systems Company
Nine Software Solutions (NSS) is a process engineering and lean software company focused on simplifying business operations. We redesign workflows, build clarity into everyday tasks, remove friction from processes, and create only the minimal technology required to support them. Our solutions are grounded in real-world challenges, operational discipline, and frugality-driven design.
- Process before software
- Solve the root cause, not the symptom
- Build only what improves workflow efficiency
- Keep systems stable, predictable, and transparent
- Lean automation over heavy technology
I started Nine Software Solutions to fix processes, not to glorify technology.
Why Nine Software Solutions
After decades in engineering, software, and manufacturing, I realized most companies don’t need more technology – they need better processes. Teams struggle not because tools are missing, but because workflows are misunderstood, communication is unclear, and systems aren’t designed with real users in mind.
I built Nine Software Solutions to fix this gap. To apply engineering discipline to everyday business processes. To make operations simple, reliable, and scalable without unnecessary complexity.
What We Do at NSS
Process Engineering
We analyze workflows, redesign processes, and remove inefficiencies that drain time, money, and clarity.
Lean Software
When software is needed, we build minimal, purposeful tools that support the process – not overshadow it.
Systems Design
We combine engineering logic with a deep understanding of business operations to create stable, predictable systems.
The Birth of Shoppeboard
Shoppeboard was born as the flagship solution inside Nine Software Solutions. During multiple process audits and workflow redesign projects, one pattern became clear: non-core procurement was universally chaotic, scattered, and inefficient across organizations. We saw an opportunity to fix it with a blend of processes, systems, and lean digital support.
Shoppeboard: Procurement Simplified with Process Discipline
Shoppeboard is a procurement services and consolidation platform designed to simplify non-core procurement for medium and large enterprises. It brings structure, transparency, and reliability to the purchasing process, supported by disciplined workflows and lean digital tools created by NSS.
How Shoppeboard Works
- Standardized procurement workflows
- Reliable supply network built over years
- Centralized ordering across categories
- Transparent pricing and documentation
- Real-time spend visibility dashboards
- Frugally built tools that enhance process discipline
Why Shoppeboard Became the Flagship Business
Shoppeboard reflects the core philosophy of Nine Software Solutions—process clarity, operational discipline, frugality, and customer-first execution. It solved a real, persistent problem across industries and scaled organically through trust, reliability, and consistency. Today, Shoppeboard serves 200+ enterprise customers and continues to grow steadily under the NSS umbrella.
The Shared DNA of NSS & Shoppeboard
- Frugality over complexity
- Knowledge over code
- Process clarity over tool overload
- Real-world problem solving
- Customer-first design
- Transparency in operations
- Reliability in execution
Emerging Initiatives
Beyond NSS and Shoppeboard, I am developing a set of new initiatives focused on systems, process intelligence, frugal automation, and operational clarity. These will evolve into structured offerings over time, each built on the same philosophy of simplicity, discipline, and long-term value creation.
- Process Intelligence Frameworks
- Lean Automation Tools
- Systems Thinking Playbooks

The Philosophy Behind All My Ventures
Whether it is engineering services, software solutions, procurement systems, or operational frameworks, all my ventures share a common foundation – systems thinking, frugality, and customer-first execution. I build with clarity, discipline, and a long-term view, ensuring that every venture delivers practical value and helps organizations function better, not louder.
