Software built inside a real operation.

Vortenia builds custom software: operational tools, dashboards, automations, and apps for businesses and teams that run on spreadsheets and manual work. The tools here were built and proven inside a real operation, then shaped by the work over time.

Stage Early

This is our software, running a real floor right now.

Nothing here is a mockup, and it is not one product. The bench auditor and the inventory system below were each purpose-built for their own job inside an operation we run ourselves: different problems, different faces, same studio. That is the point. Yours would be built around your workflow, not adapted from someone else's platform.

Not a video. Try it.

The board below is the real floor interaction, running on canned data. Scan a unit and watch it move a stage: the counts tick, the activity feed updates, the queue advances.

9/21 paired audits: won every disagreement

A portfolio of real, working software.

These came out of a real refurb operation, but the approach is the point, and it applies to any business drowning in manual work: understand the workflow, then build the software that fits it. Intake, audit, dashboards, automation, bench tooling, and the reporting layer around it.

Operations Platform

The web layer that keeps floor work visible.

Dashboards, role-based views, scan events, queues, and handoff screens for teams moving devices through a real operation. The platform is the spine, but individual modules can stand on their own.

Assignment and Catalog Matching

Decision support for turning audited facts into product decisions.

Review queues and matching tools that help operators choose the right product or listing path for Apple and PC inventory. Built for trust, review, and human override, not blind automation.

Mac Reimaging Suite

Bench tooling for preparing Apple machines repeatably.

A set of macOS-focused tools for restoration, imaging, drive preparation, and repeatable bench work. Designed around technicians working multiple machines in parallel.

Windows Audit and USB Tooling

Practical Windows tools for audits, drivers, and device prep.

USB-based audit and setup utilities for Windows refurb workflows, including device checks, driver handling, and repeatable prep paths.

Station Proof Modules

Focused screens for the hands doing the work.

Scanner-first station tools for tech, cleaning, packing, and post-pack handoffs. These modules make the broader system visible because they show the software meeting the floor where work actually happens.

From what's slow to what ships.

No discovery phases that outlive their welcome, no seventeen-page proposals. The same directness we build with.

01

Tell us what's slow

A few sentences about what you run and where the hours go. That's enough to start.

02

Scoping call

We walk the workflow together and agree on the smallest version worth building.

03

Build in weeks

You see working software early and often, not a reveal at the end.

04

Handoff and support

Training, documentation, and post-launch support. The code is yours to keep.

Build it with us.

Most of what Vortenia builds starts the same way: a business stuck on spreadsheets and manual steps. Here's how that work is scoped and priced. Every project is custom, and every price is a starting point, not a checkout button.

Tier 01 The Automation Kill one painful manual process.
from $2,500
one-time
≈ 1–2 weeks
  • Replace one spreadsheet or manual workflow with a custom tool or automation
  • A scan-and-track tool, an intake form that feeds a database, a report that builds itself
  • Custom-built and yours to keep
  • One round of revisions
  • 14-day post-launch support
Start here →
Tier 03 The Operation The full platform that runs the whole thing.
from $18,000
custom scope
scoped together
  • Multi-part system: dashboards, data, kiosks or mobile, integrations
  • The class of system that runs an entire operation
  • Built and maintained as an ongoing partnership
  • The same kind of platform running a real floor today
Let's talk →

Extend it

Available with any project. Mix and match.

Keep It Running
$250 / month

Monitoring, updates, and small changes so your software stays healthy without you thinking about it.

Integrations
from $1,500

Connect the tools you already run: Amazon, ChannelAdvisor, QuickBooks, Shopify, Google Sheets, and more.

AI Automation
from $2,000

A custom agent or assistant wired into your workflow: triage, reporting, or repetitive work handled automatically.

Tools you can download and run.

Alongside the client work, Vortenia ships free standalone utilities. They exist for the same reason as everything else here: we needed them, so we built them. Try them; it is the fastest way to see how we build.

macOS Drive Forge icon

macOS Drive Forge

Free macOS utility for putting multiple installers on a single USB stick or external drive.

macOS

A native macOS app for building bootable installer drives. Its standout feature: it can place several macOS versions on one drive, for example Sonoma, Sequoia, and Tahoe side by side, so a single stick or external hard drive can reinstall or boot any of them. It also handles the everyday single-installer job, without making you memorize command-line flags.

  • Multi-version drives. Split one USB stick or external hard drive into several bootable volumes, one macOS version each.
  • Works with any external disk. USB flash drives, USB-C and Thunderbolt SSDs, and external hard drives. Bigger drives carry more installers at once.
  • Browse and download any Apple full installer straight from Apple, then keep a local stash so you never re-download.
  • Live progress and drive-capacity bars as each volume is built.

First launch: right-click the app and choose Open, then confirm (it is not yet notarized).
macOS 14 or later. An external USB stick or hard drive, 16 GB or more per installer volume. Administrator access, since building a drive erases it first.

Overwatch icon

Overwatch

Real-time Windows security monitor with Telegram alerts.

Windows

A lightweight Windows utility built around one question: who or what touched this computer, and when. Eight monitors watch logins, session lock and unlock, processes, USB devices, remote access, network changes, power, and sensitive files, and push alerts to Telegram instantly. A local web dashboard shows the event feed in plain English.

  • Away Mode. One toggle when you step away; every snoop-relevant event escalates to critical and pings Telegram immediately.
  • Presence detection. Routine alerts stay quiet while you're actually at the keyboard. Auto, Quiet, and Loud modes.
  • Web dashboard. Local, plain-English event feed: "Someone signed in to this computer."
  • Eight monitors. Logins, sessions, processes, USB, remote access, network, power, and files.
  • One file. A single Overwatch.exe, no Python install needed.

Windows 10 or 11. A single Overwatch.exe, no Python install needed. Not code-signed: SmartScreen warns on first run, choose More info then Run anyway.

Tools shaped by the work.

A lot of operational software gets designed by people who don't run operations. It tends to look good in a demo and struggle in practice.

Everything on this page came out of operations we run ourselves. It was used internally first, refined on the floor, and shaped by the work over time. That is the same way we build for clients: starting from your workflow, not from a template.

Made for the hands that actually do the work. A scanner, a few buttons, the right defaults already filled in. Easy enough for a new hire's first shift, fast enough that nobody else has to slow down for it.

Built where the work happens.

The things people ask first.

Who owns the code?

You do. Custom builds are delivered with full source and documentation. No lock-in, no per-seat licenses, no rent on your own tool.

How fast is a typical build?

An Automation usually lands in one to two weeks, a System in three to six. You see working software early and often, not a reveal at the end.

What do you build with?

Whatever fits the job: web dashboards, station kiosks, barcode scanners, databases, integrations with tools you already run, and AI agents where they earn their keep. There is no platform you have to conform to.

Do we need to be technical to work with you?

No. You describe what you run and where the hours go, in plain language. Translating that into software is the job.

What happens after launch?

Every project includes post-launch support, 14 or 30 days depending on tier. After that, Keep It Running covers monitoring, updates, and small changes for $250 a month, or you take the keys and run it yourself.

What if we're not sure what we need?

Tell us what's slow. The scoping conversation is free, and we'll suggest the smallest version worth building, even if that turns out to be smaller than you expected.
