Software developer for Neuquén and Patagonia: service companies, builders and tourism
I build custom software, websites, apps and 3D tools for businesses in Neuquén and Patagonia, working remotely from Buenos Aires. It pays off most for service companies working for the energy industry, builders selling off-plan and lodges in the Andes lakes region that want direct bookings.
If you're looking for a software developer for a business in Neuquén, here's how I work: I build custom software, websites, apps and 3D tools, remotely from Buenos Aires, on the same clock as Neuquén. I work on my own, with video calls, progress you open from a link and direct contact on WhatsApp.
Neuquén is the capital of a province in northern Patagonia, and it's unlike anywhere else in Argentina. Vaca Muerta, one of the country's biggest oil and gas plays, brought in service companies, workers relocating from other provinces, construction everywhere and constant demand for rentals. Then there are the Andes lakes, where towns like San Martín de los Andes and Villa La Angostura live on tourism. Each of those businesses needs something different, so let's take them one by one.
Service companies: work orders, equipment and paperwork
A small company serving the energy industry (trucking, maintenance, installations, equipment rental, camp catering or site cleaning) usually has the same headache: information is scattered across supervisors' WhatsApp chats, spreadsheets everyone builds their own way, and folders of paperwork you have to pull together every time a client asks for a report.
A system of your own fixes that at the source. The technician logs the job from their phone, with photos and a signature; the office sees what's done, what's pending and what can be billed; and the client report comes out ready, with no retyping. I cover this in work order management software and in inspection checklist app. If you rent out equipment, pickups or modular camp units, the key question is what's at which site and when it comes back: that's equipment rental software.
Builders and real estate: selling what isn't built yet
Neuquén and the towns around it keep adding apartment buildings, gated neighborhoods and lot subdivisions, and many buyers are people who moved for work or invest from another province. That buyer can't swing by the site on a Saturday; they need to understand the unit from their phone.
That's why I built Recorrido 3D, my product for interactive 3D walkthroughs that help sell homes and apartments before they're built. Its blog has a piece on 3D renderings and walkthroughs in Neuquén. If what you need is a site that shows your projects and brings in inquiries, that's a website for construction companies.
Cabins and lodges in the lakes region: direct bookings
During ski season and the summer lake season, cabins, hostels and small inns fill up. The catch is that many bookings come through platforms that take a cut, and the rest arrive over WhatsApp with the same questions again and again: are there openings, how many people fit, are pets allowed, how do you get there when it snows.
A site of your own with real photos, availability and an inquiry button lets you take direct bookings and answer fewer messages. I went through it in website for small hotels and cabins. And if you build cabins or timber homes to sell in the region, a configurator where buyers pick the model and finishes saves a lot of back and forth: the Estructuras 3D blog has a piece on 3D quoting tools for builders in Patagonia.
What each type of business usually needs
| Business | The recurring problem | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| Energy service company | Reports built by hand, data in each supervisor's chat | Work orders logged from the phone |
| Equipment rental | Not knowing what's at which site | Rental system with history per unit |
| Builder or developer | Buyers who can't visit the site | 3D walkthrough and a project website |
| Cabins and inns | Repeated questions and commission-based bookings | Own website with direct bookings |
| Local shop or service | New customers can't find it on Google | A simple site and an up-to-date Google profile |
How we work remotely
The first conversation is a video call: you tell me how the business runs today and what's eating your time. Then I send a written proposal, split into stages, and we start with the one that helps you most. You open every step from a link on your phone or computer, and we don't move on until you sign off.
What you send: how your team works today (even a photo of the spreadsheet), the forms or reports your clients ask for, photos and copy. What you get: the system or site up and running, with a dashboard you and your team can manage. More on the process in working with a remote developer.
If you're reading this from abroad, say a company that has operations in Neuquén, we can work in English. Spanish-speaking field staff get the screens in Spanish, and your head office gets the same information in a language it reads.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need to travel to Neuquén?
No. I work remotely from Buenos Aires, with video calls, progress you open from a link and contact over WhatsApp or email. Neuquén and Buenos Aires are on the same time, so scheduling is easy. If your team is split between the office and the field, even better: everyone checks progress from their phone.
Will the app work where there's no signal?
It can be built for that. If your technicians log data where the signal is poor, the app saves their work and sends it once they're back in coverage. We decide that at the start, because it changes how it's built.
Do you handle invoicing or my clients' compliance requirements?
I don't replace your accountant or your quality team. What I do is make the system store and show information the way it's required: check with your accountant or quality lead what records you need, and I build the system to fit.
Do you charge by the hour or by project?
By project. You tell me what you need, I ask a few questions and send a written proposal with what each stage includes.
If you run a company or a business in Neuquén, the Alto Valle or the lakes region and want to see what we could build, message me on WhatsApp at +54 9 11 6193-3176 or email contacto@facundocampo.com.ar. I answer in English and Spanish, and I quote each project separately. You can also use the [contact page](/en/contacto).
