If your current software, processes,
and data were delivering enough value,
you wouldn’t be reading this.
We can build you something better.
If you’re being held back by inefficient or outdated processes, software that doesn’t meet your needs, or information that’s scattered across spreadsheets and paperwork, you’ve come to the right place.
For decades we’ve helped organizations fix problems that create expense, limit growth, and increase risk. Skeleton Key delivers custom software development and consulting to help you identify and solve your most pressing challenges. We deliver the software and strategies that help you serve your customers better and work more efficiently.






You can tell when the way you work just isn’t working. Leaders turn to us for the support and solutions they need to improve their operations and achieve their long-term goals. Across construction, municipal government, education, manufacturing, and the skilled trades — and many other industries — we identify issues, then build new software and processes to help teams work smarter.

“We were spending thousands of dollars per week […] Today, we’re getting a significantly better finished product, for a fraction of the storage costs and a fraction of the production cost. When we started, the idea of custom software was pretty new to us. Skeleton Key made it easy, and they gave us the confidence to know our team can do this.”

“We used to have to work very long hours during enrollment, but because things are streamlined (and we’ve learned the system!) we worked more like 8 hour weekdays instead of 10-12 hr. weekdays plus Saturdays. […] You not only help when we ask, but we often comment that you intuitively know what we need or how to solve a problem we’re having.”
“Lending to used-car dealerships is a very niche business. Skeleton Key took the time to figure it out and build an app for what we needed. It works, and it makes us extremely efficient.”

Our collaborative process starts by asking the right questions in order to understand your goals and challenges. We identify the members of your team who are directly impacted, examine your current processes, identify issues, and rank the improvements that will deliver the most significant impact and value. Once we’ve agreed on a plan of action, we then work with you to develop, test, and deliver the solutions you need to achieve your long-term goals.
Throughout this process and after deployment, we work side-by-side with your team to make sure all your questions are answered, and that any unexpected challenges get resolved as quickly as possible. We also help you plan for the future with proactive discussions about new challenges and opportunities — ensuring you have the technical help and insights you need to get maximum value from your technology investment.
Based in St. Louis with team members across the U.S., we build custom software and workflow solutions for large and small businesses, educational institutions, nonprofits, and the public sector. Whether we’re building the “missing piece” to help your teams work more efficiently … replacing outdated software with customized solutions … or building integrations so you can make better use of data – whatever the challenge, we deliver the knowledge, tools, insights, and support you need to achieve your organization’s full potential.
