Software developer for Tucumán and northwest Argentina: retailers, distributors and agribusiness

If you're looking for a software developer for a business in Tucumán, here's how I work: I build custom software, websites and apps, remotely from Buenos Aires, on the same clock and with direct contact on WhatsApp. I work on my own, so you talk to the person who actually builds it.

Tucumán is the commercial hub of northwest Argentina, the region locals call the NOA. Distributors in the capital, San Miguel de Tucumán, supply Salta, Jujuy, Santiago del Estero and Catamarca. Around the city there are sugar mills, lemon farms and the companies that serve them, and the city itself is full of shops, clinics, professional firms and universities. They don't need the same things, so let's go business by business.

Distributors and wholesalers: orders from the whole region

A distributor in Tucumán often has customers in several provinces and reps who drive long routes. A small-town grocery orders over WhatsApp, the rep jots it down, and someone at the warehouse retypes it all. Orders get lost and nobody is quite sure what's in stock.

There are three ways in, alone or together: an inventory system for distributors that tells you what you really have, a field sales app with current prices, and a wholesale ordering portal so customers can order on their own, whenever they want.

Agribusiness services: harvest season and maintenance

During the sugarcane harvest and lemon season, everything speeds up: trucking, repair shops, contractors, equipment maintenance companies. If what you know about each machine lives in the foreman's head, the problem shows up exactly when you can't afford to stop.

Preventive maintenance software tells you which equipment is due for a check before it breaks, and a field service technician app lets each technician log the job on site, with photos. You set it up calmly in the off season, and it's already running when things get busy.

Downtown shops, clinics and professional firms

Downtown San Miguel and the nearby suburb of Yerba Buena have a lot of retail, and most of it sells through Instagram and WhatsApp. That works until the catalog grows: every customer asks about price, size and stock, and you answer the same things all day. An online catalog without checkout with a WhatsApp button takes care of much of that.

Tucumán also handles a lot of the region's medical care, with patients coming in from neighboring provinces. For clinics and practices, a clear site with specialties, doctors and appointment requests saves phone calls; see website for dentists for the same idea applied to one specialty. And if you're a builder or real estate agency, the Recorrido 3D blog has a piece on 3D renderings and walkthroughs in Tucumán, Salta and Jujuy.

Regional manufacturers selling structures

The NOA has workshops and manufacturers building sheds, canopies and steel structures for farms and mills. If you keep getting “how much for a shed?” with no dimensions or details, a 3D configurator lets the customer design what they want and send it to you complete. I documented a real example in the EQUIBOX case: a horse stall manufacturer near Buenos Aires whose customers design their barn in 3D and request a quote. You can also try my own demo, Estructuras 3D.

What each type of business usually needs

Working with me from Tucumán, or from abroad

We start with a video call so I understand your business. I send a written proposal, split into stages, and we begin with the one that organizes your day the most. You open each step from a link on your phone or computer and sign off before we continue.

You send me how you work today (the spreadsheet, photos of the notebook, the forms), your products or services, and photos. I deliver the system or site up and running, with a dashboard you manage yourself. If you're abroad, say a buyer of NOA lemons or sugar who works with a local partner, we can run the project in English and keep the screens in Spanish for the team on the ground.
