Turn everyday problems into useful tools

Kertoma helps your organization take the small, recurring tasks that slow people down and turn them into simple web applications — without needing a development team.

Kertoma first turns employees' everyday knowledge into useful applications — and then uses the knowledge accumulated along the way to build a shared organizational wiki.

Common challenges

Sound familiar?

Most organizations lose time to the same kinds of small, repetitive tasks. These are the problems Kertoma is designed to address.

Collecting information

You need data from several people — status updates, inventory counts, survey answers — but email threads and spreadsheets get tangled.

A small form-based app that gathers responses in one place, in the format you need.

Repetitive calculations

Someone on the team regularly works through the same numbers — cost estimates, conversions, resource allocations — by hand or in a fragile spreadsheet.

A simple calculator app that applies your rules consistently, every time.

Tracking important tasks

Critical checklists, approvals, or hand-off steps live in someone's head or in an overflowing inbox. Nothing is wrong — until something is missed.

A lightweight tracker that shows what's done, what's pending, and who needs to act next.

Changing requirements

What worked last quarter no longer fits. Processes shift, regulations update, and yesterday's template is today's bottleneck.

Applications you can adjust as needs evolve — without starting from scratch.

How it works

From problem to tool in plain language

Kertoma is built around the idea that you should be able to describe what you need in the words you'd normally use — and get something that works.

Describe the problem

Write down the task or question the way you'd explain it to a colleague. No technical jargon, no special syntax required.
Kertoma builds a working application

Your description becomes a small web application your team can use right away — a form, a calculator, a tracker, or whatever fits the need.
Use it and refine it

Put the tool to work. When requirements change or you spot improvements, describe the change and the application updates.

Long-term value

Keep what your organization knows

Tools solve today's problem. But the reasoning behind them — the why, the rules, the hard-won expertise — is just as valuable.

A living record

Every application in Kertoma is accompanied by the description that created it. Over time, your collection of tools becomes a record of how your organization actually works — written in language anyone can read.

Accessible know-how

When someone new joins or a process owner is unavailable, the knowledge isn't locked in a person or a file. It's organized as a human-readable wiki that your team can browse, search, and build on.

Continuity through change

People move roles. Priorities shift. A readable knowledge base helps your organization stay resilient because the context behind decisions stays with the work.

Compounding improvement

Each refinement to a tool or description makes the next one easier. Over time, the organization gets better at describing what it needs — and Kertoma gets better at delivering it.

Our aspiration: we believe that when organizational knowledge is written clearly and kept close to the tools people actually use, it becomes more useful, more accurate, and more likely to be maintained. Kertoma aims to make that cycle as natural as possible.

Getting started

Start with one everyday problem

You don't need a big initiative. Pick one small, recurring task that costs your team time or attention, and describe it.

Think of a task that several people repeat regularly — collecting figures, checking a list, calculating a total.
Write it down the way you'd explain it to a new colleague: what information goes in, what should come out.
Bring that description to Kertoma and see the first version of your tool.
Try it with your team, note what needs adjusting, and refine.
