The quiet machine behind well-run businesses

See it this morning. Act on it today.

Each person gets the numbers they own every morning, from the whole brand down to each location, and issues show up before they become problems. Code does the math, never AI, so you can act with confidence.

Production case study · multi-state fitness

Built inside a real business, not a demo.

The platform runs in production end to end: connected reporting, payroll review, and commission workflows. It replaced an outside BI vendor, caught six figures a year in payroll miscalculation, and turned a week of monthly board reporting into one command.

It also means the business never hired the data engineer this would otherwise take. The outside vendor had covered one slice; the platform covers the rest.

None of it is one-off. New clients get the same platform components, configured to the systems they already run, for a flat monthly fee.

We build and run our own software on this same stack, which is how we know it holds up when nobody is watching it.

Vendor, payroll, helpdesk, and license figures are measured from this business's production data; the payroll figure annualizes a six-month window. The engineer is one senior data engineer at Los Angeles market rates, fully loaded, the hire the platform made unnecessary. Staff time is attested by the operators at their loaded rates and includes commission review that was previously skipped. Everything is rounded down.
How it works

Live in two to six weeks.

About two weeks for a morning brief and four to six for the Data Engine, once we have access to your systems. More systems or custom reports take longer.

Pick what matters

Choose the reports and decisions that matter most. We check access to your systems and quote a fixed setup price and schedule.

Build and review

We connect the data, check the calculations, and review report drafts with your team before the scheduled delivery starts.

Keep it running

The platform refreshes on schedule and we handle what breaks. Each quarter we review results with you and pick the next improvement.

Before we get started

Who is this for?

Businesses on Mindbody, Mariana Tek, Momence, Arketa or Zenoti start with the morning brief, Tempo or both. Businesses whose booking, sales, payroll and accounting live in separate systems get the Data Engine. California employers with an hourly workforce can start with the wage-and-hour audit. The first call is about what fits.

How is pricing set?

The morning brief starts at $500 a month, plus a one-time setup fee. So does Tempo, the dashboards; take both and you pay one setup fee. The Data Engine has a setup fee and a flat monthly fee, quoted once we have seen your systems and the reports you need. New integrations or workflows are priced before we build them. Audits are a fixed fee.

What does our team need to do?

Name one person to own the project, give us access to the systems involved, walk us through the reports you rely on, and review the drafts. After launch, we meet quarterly.

Who owns the data, and what happens if we leave?

Your data is yours. Before any work starts, the service agreement spells out hosting, access, export, and what we hand over if you leave.

What does maintenance include?

We monitor the feeds, fix what breaks, and keep the reports in your agreement arriving on schedule. New reports, rules, and integrations are priced before we add them.

How do you handle sensitive data and AI access?

Access and data-processing terms are signed before we connect anything. We build and test on synthetic or de-identified records, and AI only touches client data where your agreement allows it. Please keep payroll records and employee details out of the form below.

Why Mainspring Data?

In a watch, the mainspring is the coiled steel that powers everything. Every gear and every hand runs on it. You never see it working. You just get the time.

A spring is also where a river starts. That's the other half of the name. We build the main spring of your business: the source your numbers, your reports, and your decisions all flow from.

It winds itself, it runs without tending, and the ai was in mainspring all along.
