Fort Lauderdale · Broward County
Software for Fort Lauderdale's distributors and makers.
Futurise builds custom operations software and AI automation for Fort Lauderdale and Broward County distributors and manufacturers — the marine parts and services trade around the yards and Port Everglades, and the beauty and personal-care makers across South Florida. Ordering portals, fitment-aware catalogs, production tracking with approval gates. Our US line is a 954 number, which is not a coincidence.
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.
Fort Lauderdale's distribution economy has two faces. One is marine — the yards, the dealers, the marinas and the parts and supplies that keep them working, where every order is a fitment question and the season decides the volume. The other is beauty and personal care — the contract manufacturers and brand owners across Broward and the county line, where every job is a chain of approvals.
We build for both. For marine distributors, a dealer portal with per-dealer pricing and a catalog that carries fitment so the routine question answers itself. For the makers, production tracking where the sample approval, the batch record and the label sign-off each keep a name and a date, and a customer portal where the brand sees its own jobs.
We are a remote studio; our US line is a 954 number, and we meet in Broward for the projects that call for it.
Where it breaks
The three things we keep finding.
The fitment answer in one head
Which part, which engine, which year. When that person is out, the yard waits.
The brand's approval in an email thread
Which sample, which version, who said yes. Unfindable when it matters.
Season on a fixed office
Every yard prepping the same weeks; every brand launching for the same quarter. The office is the ceiling.
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.

Per-dealer pricing, fitment-aware catalog, honest backorders, usable on a phone in the yard.
Production tracking for makers

Straight answers
The questions, answered up front.
Is your 954 number a Fort Lauderdale office?
It is a US line, answered at any hour, by the person who builds the software. It is not an office, and we won't pretend it is. We meet in Broward for the projects that call for it.
Can we see it before we call?
Yes: orders.futurise.studio is a live wholesale ordering portal and factory.futurise.studio a live production tracker, both on fictional data. We don't show client screens or name clients — every Florida client we have is confidential — 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. Most first builds go live in two to four weeks, training is part of the build, and 30 days of care are included. Call +1 (954) 469-9764 or book at futurise.studio/book .
Are you based in Florida?
No. 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.
