Custom Software Development

We build just you what you need.

Most development teams write code. We design products. There's a difference — and that difference shows up in software that your team actually uses, that fits your workflows, and that solves your problem.

Our Approach

Product Design Thinking, Applied to Manufacturing Software

We've seen what happens when software projects skip the design phase and go straight to implementation. You get technically functional tools that nobody wants to use.

We take a different path. We start by deeply understanding the operational problem — the actual friction, the workflow breakdowns, the gaps in information flow. Then we design a solution. Then we build it.

Understand Before Building

We spend time in your operation — talking to the people who will use the software, watching how work actually happens, not just how it's documented to happen. Requirements gathered from a conference room miss the reality of the factory floor.

Design for the Person Using It

Your maintenance tech in safety gloves, your operations manager checking KPIs on a tablet, your line supervisor who has 30 seconds to make a decision — we design for these people, in these conditions. Not for a demo environment.

Build What's Needed, Nothing More

Feature bloat is a symptom of skipping the design phase. When you understand the problem precisely, the solution becomes clear — and it's almost always simpler than the first proposal. We build the right thing, not the impressive thing.

Deliver and Iterate

We ship working software early, get it in front of your team, and refine based on real use. Manufacturing environments change — the software should too.

Don't make me think

Software should be obvious. If your team needs a manual, we haven't done our job.

Less is more

Every feature earns its place. We cut scope ruthlessly so what ships actually gets used.

Pride in our craft

Clean code, thoughtful design, careful testing. We build software we're proud to put our name on.

What We Build

Capabilities

From simple internal tools to complex multi-system integrations — if it solves a real manufacturing problem, we can build it.

Factory Floor Applications

Operator-facing interfaces designed for industrial environments — large touch targets, high contrast, fast load times, and offline resilience when connectivity drops.

Production Monitoring Dashboards

Real-time KPI visualization for operations managers — OEE, throughput, quality rates, downtime tracking. Accessible from any browser, on any device.

ERP & SCADA Integration

Connect your operational data to your business systems. We bridge the gap between PLC data, SCADA systems, and ERP platforms so your information flows where it needs to go.

IoT Data Pipelines

Collect sensor data from your equipment, process it in real time, and make it available for decisions — whether that's automated alerts, predictive maintenance signals, or operator dashboards.

Legacy System Modernization

Replace aging internal tools and spreadsheet-driven processes with software that's maintainable, secure, and actually used. We've modernized systems that were holding operations back for years.

AI & Automation Integration

Add AI capabilities to your existing systems — intelligent document processing, anomaly detection, natural-language interfaces for your operations data. Practical AI that solves real problems.

Our Process

From Conversation to Deployed Software

A structured process that keeps you informed and in control at every stage — no surprises, no scope creep, no software that lands differently than expected.

  1. Discovery

    We learn your operation, your team, and the specific problem you're trying to solve. We ask hard questions about workflow, failure modes, and constraints. This phase prevents expensive mistakes later.

  2. Product Design

    We design the solution before writing a line of code. Wireframes, workflow diagrams, and prototypes — validated with the people who will use the software, not just the people who commissioned it.

  3. Build & Review

    Development in short cycles with regular check-ins. You see working software early, give feedback, and we adjust. The final product matches expectations because expectations were continuously aligned throughout.

  4. Test & Harden

    Thorough testing against real-world conditions — not just the happy path. Edge cases, connectivity issues, user errors, and load scenarios are all tested before anything ships.

  5. Deploy & Train

    Deployment managed alongside your operations team to minimize disruption. Training tailored to your team's actual roles — not a generic walkthrough of every feature.

  6. Support & Evolve

    Manufacturing operations change. Software should too. We stay engaged after deployment — monitoring, iterating, and ensuring the software keeps solving the problem as your operation evolves.

Technology

We Choose the Right Tool for the Job

We don't have a favorite framework we try to use everywhere. We select technology based on what your operation actually needs — reliability, maintainability, and performance in the conditions where your team works.

Our principles:

  • Proven over fashionable — we use well-supported technologies with long track records
  • Maintainable by your team — or by any competent developer you hire later
  • Appropriate complexity — the simplest solution that actually solves the problem
  • Secure by design — especially critical in OT environments connected to business systems
  • Resilient to manufacturing conditions — intermittent connectivity, shared devices, varied screen sizes
