Software for Tampa Bay's produce houses.
Futurise builds market-sheet order desks, catch-weight ordering and lot tracking for the fresh-produce distributors around Port Tampa Bay, Plant City and the I-4 corridor — businesses where the price is this morning's market, the shelf life is measured in hours, and the paperwork has to survive a dispute. A first build is one slice, fixed-price, live in weeks.
US phone line · Any time, day or night — you'll talk to Shivam, who builds it.
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.
Tampa Bay's produce trade sits between a port that handles refrigerated cargo and the growing areas east along the corridor, and it sells into every metro on the peninsula. Generic wholesale software assumes a price list and a case; produce houses have a market sheet and a catch weight. So the software runs on a spreadsheet and a person.
We build from the market sheet: prices load once in the morning and every order that day reads them; catch weight is a real field so the invoice is right without an edit; lot identity survives the split at receiving, which is what makes a claim answerable in minutes. AI intake reads the texted and emailed orders and drafts them for a person.
It runs alongside the accounting you keep.

Where it breaks
The four things we keep finding.
This morning's price, last night's order
The market moved overnight. Forty orders need a decision, by hand, before the trucks.
Catch weight edited on the invoice
The system said one case; the scale said 38.2 lb. The edit happens afterward and never reconciles.
Lot identity lost at the split
One supplier lot, four bins, two customers. When a claim comes, nobody can say who got what.
What we build
One slice first, then the next.
Market-sheet order desk
Prices load once each morning; every order that day reads them; exceptions stop visibly.
Catch-weight ordering
Order by case, invoice by weight, no after-the-fact edit; per-customer conversions built in.
Lot tracking
The bin is the unit of record, every split is a lot-controlled transaction, claims answer in minutes.
Pricing
Every build is custom. Priced before we start.
Every build is custom. 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, and 30 days of care after launch are included.
One slice of your order flow
The one slice of your order flow that is costing you hours today — an ordering portal, an order desk, a production tracker — scoped and priced before we start.
For most first builds. The price is fixed in writing after a 20-minute call, before any work starts.
The price
Custom to your scope and fixed in writing after a 20-minute call, before any work starts. There's no price list.
The clock
Most first builds go live in two to four weeks, counted from the day your data arrives in the agreed format, not from signature.
After launch
30 days of care are included. After that, care is optional, month to month, and only once your team uses it daily.
How it works
Training is part of the build, not an extra.
Call, or book 20 minutes
You talk to Shivam, who builds it, any time, day or night. We ask how orders reach you today and where they get re-typed. If software isn't the answer, we'll say so.
One slice, one fixed price
We agree the slice, one named contact on your side, and a fixed price in writing, before any work starts.
Two to four weeks
For most first builds. The clock starts when your data arrives in the agreed format, not at signature. One read-only path in from what you already run.
Trained, then supported
A screen-share walkthrough, training for your office (we do it ourselves), then 30 days of care.
Straight answers
The questions, answered up front.
Our prices change every day. Can software keep up?
That is the design constraint. The build treats the morning market sheet as the price list: it loads once, every order that day reads it, and an order taken against yesterday's sheet is flagged for a person rather than silently repriced. Forty orders stop needing forty decisions.
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.
