Custom software · Florida
Custom software for Florida distributors and manufacturers.
Futurise builds the operational layer a Florida distributor or manufacturer is missing — a B2B ordering portal, production and inventory tracking, an order desk, a CRM replacement — as a fixed-price build that runs alongside the accounting you already have. Not an ERP. The one slice that is costing you hours.
Futurise is a remote studio with a US line, +1 (954) 469-9764, answered at any hour. We have no Florida office and don't pretend to; we meet in Florida for the projects that call for it.
See it first, on fictional data: orders.futurise.studio is a wholesale ordering portal and factory.futurise.studio a production tracker.
Most Florida wholesalers and manufacturers we talk to are not short of software. They have accounting, a spreadsheet for pricing, a spreadsheet for stock, an inbox full of purchase orders, and a person who holds it all together. What they are missing is the layer above the accounting: the screen where an order becomes real, where a customer sees their own price, where production status is written down once instead of asked three times.
That layer is what we build. It is scoped in one call, priced in writing before work starts, and live as a link within the first weeks — because a system in production gets honest feedback and a system in a slide deck gets opinions.
It is also deliberately not everything. A first build does not include ERP write-back, replatforming, multi-site, EDI or accounting. If NetSuite, Fishbowl or Cin7 already runs your business well, you may not need us, and we will say so on the call.
Where it breaks
The four things we keep finding.
The portal that was really a brochure
List prices, no reorder-from-history, no stock. Customers used it twice and went back to emailing.
The ERP that never went live
Nine months of configuration, one busy quarter, and a cancelled project with nothing in production.
The CRM nobody opens
Built for the manager's dashboard, not for the rep's Tuesday. Data decayed, then trust, then use.
The spreadsheet with one owner
Pricing, stock or production held in a file only one person understands. It works until the day it doesn't.
What we build
One slice first, then the next.
The one slice of your order flow costing you hours today: an ordering portal, an order desk or a production tracker. Then the next.
B2B ordering portals
Each account logs in to its own price list, reorders from its history, sees honest stock or none at all, and the order lands in your system without anyone retyping it.
Production and inventory tracking
Status by job, real inventory with lots and expiry, a purchasing view that looks ahead, an approvals trail that holds up later.
Order desks
One queue for every order regardless of how it arrived — portal, rep, email, PDF — with exceptions stopped visibly instead of silently.
CRM replacements
Built for the rep first: what the account bought, what is drifting, what is on the open quote, whether the last order shipped complete.
On the ground
What’s actually different here.
Every local fact carries its source and its year.
Florida had 30,723 wholesale-trade establishments employing 365,417 people in 2023, and 14,341 manufacturing establishments employing 358,707.
Most are small: 19,200 of the wholesale establishments have fewer than five employees, and 13,580 of the manufacturers have fewer than 100 (Census size-class counts).
Miami-Dade alone holds 8,354 wholesale establishments — about 27% of the state's — followed by Broward with 4,361 (share computed from the county and state files).
Straight answers
The questions, answered up front.
Do we have to replace the systems we already run?
No, and you generally shouldn't. A first build reads from the system you already run and writes into it where that is safe; it does not replace your accounting. Replacing an ERP to get one screen is how a six-week project becomes an eighteen-month one.
Will it work with QuickBooks Online?
It can connect to QuickBooks Online through Intuit's public API; scoped in the first call. Either way, your accounting stays where it is. The portal or tracker does not replace it.
Can we see something you've built before we call?
Yes. Two demos run on fictional data and are open right now: orders.futurise.studio is a wholesale ordering portal (the login is printed on the sign-in page) and factory.futurise.studio is a production tracker that opens straight in. We don't show client screens or name clients, so the demos are the proof.
What does it cost?
There is no price list, because there is no standard build. You get a fixed price in writing after a 20-minute call, before any work starts, covering exactly the scope you agree to. Most first builds go live in two to four weeks, training is part of the build, and 30 days of care after launch are included. To get your number, call +1 (954) 469-9764 or book at futurise.studio/book .
Do you have an office in Florida?
No, and we won't pretend to. Futurise is a remote studio with a US line answered at any hour, and we meet in Florida for the projects that call for it. Your build runs at a live link you can watch from the first week, so distance doesn't decide whether it works.
Bring the step that breaks.
Twenty minutes with the person who builds, on a US line, any hour. Not in Florida? The same builds, for distributors anywhere in the US.
