Your Business Has Problems Your Software Wasn’t Built to Solve.
We Build the Software That Does.

What We Do

Most organizations reach a point where the software they rely on — their ERP, their EMR, their operational system — was built to handle 80% of the job. The remaining 20% lives in spreadsheets, email threads, manual processes, and gaps that everyone works around but nobody has fixed.

That’s where Element 79 works. We build the software that fills those gaps: portals that give the right people the right access, APIs that connect systems that were never meant to talk, dashboards that surface what matters, and workflows that turn institutional knowledge into enforceable process.

We’re not a generalist agency. We specialize in business data operations — the intersection of your systems, your data, your people, and the business rules that tie them together. The same expertise that powers Aurum is what we bring to custom client engagements.

Your customers, partners, and vendors need limited, secure access to selected aspects of your business. Maybe they need to view order status, submit requests, review documents, or take action on things that involve them — without getting access to everything else.

Generic solutions either give too much access or too little flexibility. We build portals that give external stakeholders exactly what they need: purpose-built, secure, and designed around your specific business relationships and data.

• Customer-facing order status, account management, and self-service portals
• Vendor and supplier portals for order acknowledgment, delivery updates, and document exchange
• Partner portals with role-scoped data visibility and action capabilities
• Authentication and access control built to your security requirements
• Mobile-friendly, web-based — accessible anywhere without VPN

Systems today talk to each other — both within your organization and beyond it. But many of the systems your business depends on were never designed for external connectivity. They sit behind walls that block integration, automation, and the kind of real-time data sharing that modern operations require.

We build APIs that bridge those gaps: wrapping legacy systems, translating proprietary data formats, and exposing the functionality you need in a safe, controlled, and well-documented interface. Whether the system was designed for it or not.

• REST and web service APIs layered over existing systems
• Secure, authenticated API access with granular permission controls
• Data format translation and normalization between systems
• Internal APIs for inter-system communication within your organization
• External-facing APIs for partner, customer, and third-party integration
• Full documentation and versioning for long-term maintainability

The data is there, trapped in your business systems. The question is whether the right people can see it — and whether what they see reflects what’s actually happening right now, not what was true when someone last ran a report.

We build dashboards that pull live data from your systems and surface it in clear, actionable views — accessible on the web, on mobile devices, or on shared displays in operations centers and production floors. No more stale reports. No more “let me pull that query.”

• Operations and management dashboards built on your existing data
• Real-time status views for key processes, inventory, production, and customer activity
• Role-based visibility — each user sees what they need, nothing they don’t
• Mobile-optimized for field and floor use
• Shareable, display-ready views for collaborative spaces and operations rooms
• Drill-down capability from summary to detail

Events happen every day in your business that require a structured response: a customer complaint that needs escalation, a quality failure that needs investigation, a data discrepancy that needs resolution. Who owns it? When is it due? What happened? How was it resolved?

Without dedicated software, these processes live in email, shared spreadsheets, and institutional knowledge. That means things fall through the cracks, accountability is unclear, and there’s no audit trail when someone asks what happened.

We build workflow software that turns your business processes into managed, trackable, auditable workflows — with assignment, deadlines, status tracking, escalation, and resolution records built in.

• Custom workflow and case management systems tailored to your processes
• Assignment, escalation, and deadline management
• Full audit trail — who did what, when, and why
• Integration with existing systems to pull context and push results
• Management dashboards showing status across all active workflows
• Automated triggering from data events, exceptions, or external systems

Your business has rules. Pricing rules. Compliance requirements. Data standards. Approval thresholds. The problem is that many of these rules live in policy documents, in people’s heads, or in informal processes — and your software has no way to enforce them.

The result: data that doesn’t follow the rules gets into your systems undetected. Errors that should have been caught at entry only surface downstream, when they’re more expensive to fix.

We build software that enforces your business rules at the point of entry and continuously validates existing data — catching problems before they become costly issues, or alerting you to data that’s already out of compliance.

• Automated validation layers on top of existing systems
• Rule-based data quality checking on schedule or real-time
• Exception alerting when rules are violated
• Pre-entry validation to prevent bad data from entering systems
• Reporting on compliance status across data domains

Not every system a business relies on was built for the modern web — or for the generation of users who grew up on it. Legacy systems often have interfaces that are functional but unfriendly: dense, non-intuitive, and inaccessible on mobile. Training new users takes longer than it should. Mistakes happen because the interface doesn’t guide the user.

Replacing the system isn’t always an option. But you don’t have to replace it to improve it. We build modern web front-ends that sit on top of your existing system — presenting the same data and functionality in a clean, accessible, intuitive interface — while the underlying system continues to work exactly as it always has.

• Modern web UI layered over legacy backend systems
• Mobile-friendly, responsive design that works anywhere
• Guided workflows that reduce training time and user error
• Accessibility standards compliance
• Improved interoperability with other web-based systems
• No disruption to the underlying system — your data stays where it is

Most of the time, your processes run well. But do you have visibility when they don’t? And when something goes wrong — a missed delivery, a failed quality check, an anomalous data record — does the right person find out immediately, or when it’s too late to respond effectively?

We build exception management systems that monitor your processes and data continuously, alert the right people when something goes wrong, and track the resolution from detection to close. So you can have confidence the business is running as it should — and know immediately when it isn’t.

• Automated exception detection against your business rules and data standards
• Immediate alerting via email, web portal, or integration with existing systems
• Exception tracking from detection through to resolution
• Management reporting on exception volume, type, and resolution time
• Trend analysis to identify recurring issues before they become systemic

Also available as a platform product: Aurum Intercepts provides automated SQL-based exception detection and management as a fully self-hosted, licensed product. Learn more about Intercepts →

As a business grows — through organic expansion, acquisitions, and system changes — data accumulates in more places than anyone planned. Some of it can be integrated in place. Some of it needs to be moved, consolidated, and transformed in the process. Some of it needs to be normalized across systems that were never designed to work together.

We manage data transfer and transformation projects of any complexity: one-time migrations, ongoing synchronization, acquisition data onboarding, and ERP consolidation. We bring the tooling, the process, and the experience to do it reliably — with full logging and auditability at every step.

• One-time and recurring data migration between systems
• Data transformation, normalization, and enrichment during transfer
• Acquisition data onboarding — validating and integrating new company data into your systems
• ERP migration support — data quality validation before and during go-live
• Full audit logging — every record processed, every transformation applied
• Validation and exception reporting throughout the migration

Also available as a platform product: Aurum Unify provides a self-hosted data pipeline builder for ongoing transfer and transformation workloads. Learn more about Unify →
