ML Software · The IQ Platform · Castle Rock, Colorado

Businesses don’t lack effort.They lack systems.

So we build them — purpose-built software, one industry at a time, with an intelligence layer that knows the rules of your industry and tells your people what to do next.

The intelligence layer

The IQ is literal.

Most software stores what happened. Every IQ product knows the rules of its industry, reasons over your real data, and tells you what to do next — so your people spend their hours on the work that pays, not on chasing it.

01 · KNOWS

Your operation and its rules

Your documents, inventory, goals or loads — and the rules your industry runs on.

02 · REASONS

Over your real data

Connects what you have to what's coming: deadlines, shortages, drift, idle capacity.

03 · ACTS

Tells you the next move

Reminders, answers, plans and recommendations — with the evidence behind them.

Renewal IQ

Your liquor license expired on a Friday. Not anymore.

Every permit, license and certificate a restaurant needs to stay open — in one place, across every location.

THE INTELLIGENCE
  • Knows every document — and the jurisdiction that governs it
  • Knows each jurisdiction's filing windows and builds the reminders around them
  • Scans existing permits and reads the dates for you
  • Helps you create new documents and applications
WITHOUTThe license expired on a Friday. Nobody owned the renewal date.
WITH RENEWAL IQThe reminder went out 60 days before the city's deadline.

Parts IQ

Know what you have. Build what's next.

If you stock it, Parts IQ tracks it — electronic components, screws and bolts, sheet metal, lumber, kitchen supplies. A touchscreen inventory that lives where the work happens: stockroom, shop floor, bench, kitchen, truck. Scan it in, place it, find it in a tap.

THE INTELLIGENCE
  • Knows every item — components, hardware, materials, supplies — how many you have and exactly where it sits
  • “What can I build or make with what I have?” — answered from real stock
  • “I want to build this — am I missing anything?” — checked in seconds
  • Builds the pick list and remembers your plans

Life IQ

Hold yourself accountable to what actually matters.

A daily operating system for people with more on their plate than they can hold in their head — and nobody above them checking the work.

THE INTELLIGENCE
  • Tasks and to-dos, sorted into signal, necessary and noise
  • Goals your daily tasks actually roll up to
  • A private journal for the thinking that doesn't fit a list
  • Wingman — describe your week in plain words; it builds the tasks and keeps you on track
WITHOUTBusy all week. The goal never moved.

JobQuote IQ

Quote faster. Win smarter.

From incoming RFQ to paid invoice in one workflow — for shops too small for ERP and too busy to quote every job by hand.

WHAT THE INTELLIGENCE WILL DO
  • Prices new RFQs from similar past jobs — material, setup, machine time
  • Reads RFQs and drawings to pull out the specs
  • Checks capacity: can the shop actually hit that due date?
  • Learns which quotes win — and at what margin

How we choose an industry

We go where nobody else is building.

Three tests every IQ market has to pass before a line of code gets written.

01

Underserved

The existing options are spreadsheets, paper, or a tool built for a different business.

02

Overcharged

The "real" software is priced for enterprises — implementation fees, seats, consultants.

03

Owner-operated

The buyer is the person doing the work. No IT department, no procurement, no patience for bloat.

Why ML Software

Built by someone who's been doing this since 2000.

Not a team behind a ticketing system. One experienced builder who has shipped enterprise systems at scale — and who you talk to directly.
