— Built by Indolent Designs

Software for industries that still run on phone calls and spreadsheets.

We are a small independent studio that builds vertical-industry tools for operators who deserve better than enterprise SaaS or DOS-era tooling. Steel fabricators. Freight brokers. The shops and dispatch desks that keep the country moving.

— The lineup

One product shipping. Three on the bench.

One live product, three more in the works — each one solving a specific operational problem real businesses lose hours and weekends to.
