Develop applications
Custom software built for the way your organization actually works — from internal tools to products like Proset AI.
Application development · Infrastructure · AI
The applications your business runs on — built, customized, and maintained.
Schoedel Design is an applications studio. We develop custom software, tailor open-source platforms, and build the infrastructure that runs it all — specializing in AI, automations, and agentic systems.
Based in San Antonio. Supporting small and mid-sized organizations locally and remotely.
What we do
One studio for the application and everything under it.
Schoedel Design is an applications studio. We develop software, customize open-source platforms, and build and maintain the infrastructure they run on.
Customize applications
Open-source platforms tailored, connected, and maintained — instead of adding another closed SaaS subscription.
Maintain applications
Ongoing care for the software in production: updates, fixes, and improvements as the work changes.
Build and run the infrastructure
The servers, networks, and platforms beneath the applications — six servers and more than 25 services in production today.
Specialty: AI, automations, and agents.
AI is where we go deepest — automations that take over routine work, and agents built to act on real systems with human oversight.
Managed IT and support
We run what we build — and we keep it running.
Take one area or hand over the whole stack. Every agreement has defined scope, clear response expectations, and someone who answers.
Cybersecurity and Threat Management
Endpoint protection, network monitoring, identity control, and compliance handled as an ongoing service instead of a one-time cleanup.
- Endpoint protection, patching, and device hardening
- Network, log, and account monitoring with alerting
- Identity, MFA, and access reviews
- Backup, recovery testing, and incident response
Cloud Migration and Infrastructure Management
We move legacy servers, files, and email into the cloud, then run the environment: configuration, uptime, backups, and cost.
- Server, file share, and business email migration
- Secure configuration, domains, DNS, and certificates
- Backups, monitoring, and disaster recovery
- Hosting, capacity, and cloud cost management
AI Consulting and Automation Integration
Practical AI adoption that keeps proprietary company data inside your organization, starting with where AI actually fits the work.
- AI readiness review and use-case selection
- Private, self-hosted, and vendor model options
- Workflow automation across the tools you already own
- Staff training, usage policy, and review checkpoints
Co-Managed IT and Managed Services
Support that supplements your internal IT staff rather than replacing them. Your team keeps control and hands off the load it cannot carry.
- Helpdesk coverage, escalation, and after-hours response
- Patch, asset, license, and vendor management
- Documentation, runbooks, and onboarding workflows
- Extra project capacity when your team is at capacity
Security Auditing and Infrastructure Hardening
An independent review of your environment, then we harden it — close the exposures, lock down accounts and access, and protect the private data you cannot afford to lose.
Explore security auditing- External and internal security audit with findings and priorities
- Server, network, and application hardening against real threats
- Access, credential, and secret management review
- Private data protection: encryption, backups, and exposure checks
Co-managed or fully managed.
Monthly agreements for ongoing coverage, or fixed-scope projects for migrations, security hardening, and AI rollouts.

Try Proset- → Voice-first capture
- → Useful structured outputs
- → English and Spanish
- → Android and web
Proof in operation
We use the systems we build.
Our applications and infrastructure run real work. That operating experience informs what we recommend and what we avoid.
