BUILT FOR YOUR FLOOR. OWNED BY YOU. FOREVER.
Manhattan, SAP EWM, HighJump — these platforms weren't built for your warehouse. They were built to fit every warehouse. And that's exactly the problem.
Mid-market operators — 3PLs, distributors, manufacturers — are left choosing between software that costs a fortune and spreadsheets that don't scale. Neither works.
AI-assisted development changes everything. What took 18 months and $2M now takes 10 days and a fraction of the cost. The result? A system that fits your pick paths, your carrier mix, your SKU structure — and that you own forever.

By the time the software is live, your operations have already changed. Vendors can't keep up.
Off-the-shelf tools handle the average warehouse. But no warehouse is average.
Six areas where custom-built systems deliver immediate, measurable ROI that no SaaS tool can match.
Most warehouses still use paper or fragmented systems for inbound. A custom mobile app with barcode/QR scanning, AI-assisted putaway logic based on velocity, weight, and expiry — live in days, not quarters.
Cycle counts are manual, slow, and error-prone. AI flags anomalies, suggests count priority, and reconciles discrepancies against historical patterns. Site-specific logic that no SaaS tool can replicate.
Dock scheduling is shockingly manual — phone calls, emails, whiteboards. A custom booking portal with AI-assisted slot optimization saves hours of coordinator time every single day and eliminates conflicts.
Hundreds of suppliers, inconsistent lead times, at-risk deliveries nobody sees coming. AI parses PO history, flags issues before they miss, and surfaces reorder recommendations automatically. No ERP does this cleanly.
In food, pharma, and industrial manufacturing, QC is critical but tracked in Excel. Custom NCR workflows with AI-assisted root cause analysis and supplier scorecards — built in days, not quarters.
Supervisors waste hours building manual reports. A custom dashboard pulling from scan data or a simple input app gives real-time labor efficiency metrics — tailored to how your operation actually measures performance.
From discovery to a working system in your hands — without a 12-month project plan.
We embed in your operation. Map workflows, pain points, edge cases, and the exact logic your ops run on. No 200-page requirement doc — just a precise blueprint.
Right-sized databases, security, cloud hosting, and access controls — scoped to your actual needs, not a generic enterprise template that costs 10× more to run.
We build together. Daily check-ins, fast iteration. You speak operations — we handle the code. No technical background needed, just your domain expertise.
Real workflows, real data, real users. You test every edge case before anything goes live. We fix fast. No change orders, no extra cost.
Your system goes into production. Your team is trained and running independently. You own the code. No vendor, no license, no lock-in. Adapt it whenever your operations change.
Hard numbers from actual deployments — not demos, not projections.
A mid-sized warehouse running on spreadsheets and manual counts — picking errors, lost stock, hours of daily data entry. We built a custom WMS in 8 days.
A founder with a compelling product idea and no technical infrastructure. Traditional agency quotes: $200K+ with unclear timelines. We built and launched in 6 weeks.
We've run warehouses, led logistics ops, and shipped software at scale. We understand your problems because we've lived them.
15+ years building and leading technical teams in logistics and operational systems. Has architected WMS, TMS, and ERP integrations for mid-market operators — and knows exactly where they fail.
Business technology strategist with deep ops expertise. Ensures every system we build creates lasting impact — not just a demo that fades after the kickoff call.
Tell us what you're running on today and what's breaking. We'll tell you what we can build — and how fast.
We've spent years in logistics, operations, and software architecture. We've built systems at scale, led technical teams, and solved real-world problems on real warehouse floors.
owntech was founded on a simple belief: every operation deserves software that fits like it was built in-house — because it is. We don't sell licenses. We build your system, train your team, and hand over the keys.
