— 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

Two products shipping. More on the bench.

Each one solves a specific operational problem we kept watching real businesses lose hours, dollars, and weekends to.
