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.
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 three 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.
The one slice of your order flow costing you hours today: an ordering portal, an order desk or a production tracker. 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.
On the ground
What’s actually different here.
Every local fact carries its source and its year.
Hillsborough County has 56 fresh-produce wholesalers employing 1,015 people, and 188 grocery wholesalers employing 5,299.
Polk County, along the I-4 corridor, adds 24 fresh-produce wholesalers and 48 food manufacturers employing 5,477.
Florida's 533 produce wholesalers are 10.9% of all US produce wholesalers, for a state with 7.7% of US establishments overall (computed from the 2023 state and national files).
Port Tampa Bay lists refrigerated cargo among its five cargo categories and citrus juice concentrate among its commodities.

Hillsborough County's agricultural market value was $704 million in 2022; statewide, Florida grows 33% of the US value of sweet corn, 17% of fresh-market tomatoes and 14% of strawberries.

Port Tampa Bay handled 32,415,926 tons of bulk and general cargo in fiscal 2025 and ranked first among Florida's seaports by tonnage.
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 .
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.
