We’re not just another software development company—we’re the team that kicks technology challenges out for good and delivers real solutions that work.
Kick IT Software Solutions was born from a simple observation: too many businesses settle for overly complicated software solutions that barely work and waste a lot of time on repetitive tasks. After 25+ years in enterprise software development, frequently cleaning up legacy systems, our founder Tim Grotenhuis saw an opportunity to use his experience to make a real difference for growing businesses.
We are firm believers in “Keep It Simple Software” (KISS) – which perfectly aligns with the initials for Kick IT Software Solutions! The best solutions are well thought out and simple to understand from a technical standpoint, not unnecessarily complex monstrosities that require a PhD to operate.
We’re based in Asheville, North Carolina—a city with a vibrant startup scene that perfectly embodies our philosophy: independent, innovative, resilient, and unafraid to do things differently. Just like the businesses we serve, this software development company believes in blazing its own trail and delivering real results to real people that matter while keeping IT Simple!
To use our experience in custom software development, AI automation, and strategic leadership to help growing businesses turn their technology challenges into powerful growth engines.
For every growing business to have access to enterprise-level technology expertise and solutions that scale with their ambitions—built with simplicity and clarity, free from unnecessary complexity. Technology should empower your business, not overwhelm it.
With over 25 years of hands-on development and leadership experience, Tim has built, or overseen the building of, everything from enterprise financial systems to AI-powered recruitment tools. He’s led distributed teams across 12 time zones, scaled systems to handle 400+ client facilities worldwide, and won awards for technical leadership.
Tim‘s approach is simple: understand the problem, get the right people and tools in place, find the solution, and execute—no matter how complex the challenge. When you work with Kick IT, you’re getting direct access to someone who’s been in the trenches and knows how to deliver results.
Tim is a long-distance runner, community fundraiser, and father of four who brings the same passion for excellence to everything he does. Whether he’s directing races that raise hundreds of thousands for local schools or bicycle-commuting through the streets of Asheville, he’s always curious, always learning, and always pushing boundaries.
