Custom CRM Development in Atlanta

Rain Automation builds custom CRMs, workflow automation, and AI systems for businesses in Atlanta and across Georgia. The company is based in Atlanta, Georgia, and the phone number is (404) 323-5695. You own the code that gets written, and there are no per-seat fees on the other side of the build.

An engagement takes one of three shapes. A custom CRM build runs 4 to 8 weeks and delivers pipeline stages that match the process your team already runs, custom fields and views for the data your business tracks, integrations with Stripe, email, Slack, and your phone system, and automated follow-up that replaces manual handoffs, on React, Express, and Postgres. Workflow automation runs 1 to 3 weeks and uses n8n to connect the tools you are keeping, with conditional logic across your CRM, email, calendar, and payment processor, error handling and retry logic, no per-execution fees, and self-hosting on your infrastructure or ours. AI automation consulting is scoped from discovery and covers assistants grounded in your own documents and policies, automated lead response for inbound channels including Google Local Services Ads, and workflow monitoring with dashboards and error tracking.

The work runs in four stages. It starts with a conversation rather than a requirements document, with the person who writes the code on the call. A scoped first phase targets the single most expensive problem, with a written scope before anything starts. Working software ships at the end of that phase and features are added incrementally. Handoff leaves the code documented and version-controlled in Git, while Rain Automation runs deployment, hosting, monitoring, backups, and updates. Three anonymized build patterns behind the approach cover lead capture with qualification and follow up, quote to invoice and operations automation, and scheduling and reminder automation.

Being based in Atlanta means a kickoff, a process mapping session, or a go-live day can happen in your office rather than on a call, in your own business hours. The founder, Ryan Nichols, spent 15 years in cybersecurity including a role as CISO for a payment service provider, and now writes the code, deploys the infrastructure, and answers the phone. The fit is service businesses of 1 to 50 people paying for tools that do not share data, including home services, contracting, real estate, coaching, e-commerce, and event rental. Clients outside Georgia are served the same way, so proximity is a convenience rather than a requirement. Six questions are answered directly on the page: who owns the data and the code, how long a build takes, how cost is figured, what tools can be integrated, what happens after launch, and whether being in Atlanta matters.
