The code and process that hold a business together.
Lug-Nut Technologies focuses on billing and payments, security, and scaling.
Focus areas
-
01
Billing and payments
Revenue runs through integrations, invoices, and reconciliation logic that nobody wants to touch. The goal is charges, refunds, and records that line up.
-
02
Security
Reviewing access, secrets, and infrastructure, and closing the gaps that matter most before someone else finds them.
-
03
Scaling
What works at ten customers often breaks at a hundred. The focus is systems, and the processes around them, that handle more load and more people without falling over.
About
A lug nut is a small part, but when one is missing, the wheel comes off. Most businesses have parts like that in their code and operations: the billing job everyone is afraid of, the credentials that never got rotated, the manual process that only one person understands. Lug-Nut Technologies is built around that work: finding those parts, tightening them, and documenting them so they stay tight. It's also the home base for other projects.

-
Intelligent payments routing
Problem
Acceptance for first-time onboarding and for recurring charges suffers when payment routing does not adapt.
Approach
An intelligent weighted model for adaptive payment routing, developed before today's AI tooling, raised acceptance for onboarding and for recurring payments, with significant gains.
-
Payments integrations
Problem
Accepting money is no longer just cards; new methods and providers keep arriving, and the stack has to absorb them without breaking what already works.
Approach
Payment methods and providers are adapted into existing systems so acceptance stays current as options beyond cards grow.
-
Payment operations, end to end
Problem
Revenue across several brands has to settle, reconcile, and hold up under audit.
Approach
Billing and payments run as one operation, covering acceptance, processing, ledgering, settlement, reconciliation, refunds, disputes, and chargebacks, built to meet PCI DSS and SOX.
-
Tokenizing payment data
Problem
Storing raw payment data widens compliance scope and risk.
Approach
Enterprise tokenization replaces raw payment data with tokens as part of a PCI DSS program, so fewer systems ever handle it.
-
Access control with a paper trail
Problem
Access to APIs and changes to customer data have to be controlled and traceable.
Approach
Role-based access control across APIs and applications, tied into corporate identity management, with a ledger that records every change to customer data.
-
Folding acquired brands into one platform
Problem
Each acquired brand arrives with its own customers, products, and systems.
Approach
Technical due diligence comes first, then integration, with infrastructure that imports and manages each brand's customers and products while the platform grows more reliable.
