Software for small manufacturers

Built on the production floor, not behind a desk.

Every Allenrad app is designed by a working food manufacturer: a production technician with 17+ years of making, packaging, and selling real food products. We don't guess what producers need; we build the tools we needed ourselves.

Product line

Three tools, one workflow: make it, measure it, move it.

Each product covers one stage of running a small production business, from the recipe on your bench to the box on your customer's shelf.

Fast, precise unit conversion for the production floor. Weights, volumes, temperatures: the conversions you actually use when a supplier quotes in kilograms and your recipe is in ounces. No ads, no clutter.

Approach

Why producers trust tools made by a producer.

We've had your problem

Scaling a recipe for a co-packer, passing a lab review, pricing a jar so it actually makes money. These aren't hypotheticals to us; they're the exact problems our software was built to solve.

Built for small teams

No enterprise onboarding, no sales calls, no features you'll never touch. If you're a two-person operation or just filed your LLC, the tools work on day one.

Your numbers stay right

In production, a rounding error becomes a failed batch. Precision in conversions, scaling, and costing is the foundation every Allenrad product is built on.

Allen Rad working at a bowl cutter on a meat production line
Allen Rad, on the production floor · ten years ago
"I didn't learn manufacturing from software. I learned software because manufacturing needed it."

Allenrad Technology didn't start behind a programmer's desk. It started on the factory floor.

Allen Rad has spent 17+ years in food manufacturing, from co-founding a meat products brand to running his own food company in Virginia. Through all those years, on the long road from an idea to a product in a customer's hands, he kept hitting the same wall: formulas lost in notebooks, costs buried in spreadsheets, and batches turned into losses by one small miscalculation.

Years of wrestling with these problems led him to one simple, hard-earned conclusion: every successful producer runs on a solid system. The right system removes the bugs from a business and stops the bleeding before it starts. It's exactly what good code does for a program.

So why is software like this so rare? Because the people who build software have almost never been producers themselves. They guess what a manufacturer needs. We know, because we were that manufacturer.

Every tool you see at Allenrad was first built to solve our own problem, and is used in our own real business every single day. Then we realized this pain is shared by every small producer out there. So why keep it to ourselves?
