Built From Real Problems,
Not Assumptions
Most maintenance software is built by people who've never had to rely on it. Ours is different.
We've lived the challenges of keeping operations running—managing work orders, tracking parts, coordinating teams, and making decisions under pressure. When the tools didn't fit the reality, we built one that does.
Why We Started
Maintenance and operations teams don't need more features. They need clarity, speed, and systems that actually work when things get busy.
- Work orders getting buried or lost
- Parts and inventory disconnected from maintenance
- Communication breaking down between teams
- Too many tools doing pieces of the job—but none doing it well together
That gap is what we're solving.
Our Philosophy
The best software isn't built in isolation—it's built through real use.
- Real technicians using it daily
- Real production schedules that can't afford downtime
- Real purchasing, inventory, and maintenance workflows
If it doesn't make someone's job faster, clearer, or easier—it doesn't make it in.
Built by people who actually do the work
Dustin Stelter is a builder at heart—combining operations, IT, and hands-on maintenance to create systems that actually hold up in the real world. From building internal tools to improving inventory and maintenance workflows alongside technicians (and handling the 3AM calls when things break), he's experienced where most software falls short. PlantOS is built from that experience—because he's the one who needed it.
- Hands-on maintenance & operations
- Built tools with technicians
- Real-world workflow & inventory systems
- Has taken the 3AM calls
Kari Haser is an operations leader focused on execution inside real manufacturing environments. She's led production scaling, coordinated teams across departments, and driven process improvements where efficiency and downtime matter most. She ensures everything built in PlantOS holds up under real-world pressure.
- Production & operations leadership
- Scaling teams & processes
- Cross-team execution focus
- Built for real-world performance
Why This Works
Most software companies guess at problems. We don't have to.
- Dustin builds the system directly with users
- Kari validates it through real operations
- The product evolves from real-world use—not assumptions
That's what makes this different.
Simple Idea. Big Impact.
Build a system that brings maintenance, inventory, and operations into one place—so teams can move faster with less friction.
What We're Solving
Operations today are too fragmented:
- Maintenance lives in one system
- Inventory in another
- Purchasing somewhere else
- Communication happens everywhere
That disconnect creates delays, mistakes, and unnecessary work. We're fixing that by bringing everything together.
What We're Building
Maintenance & Work Orders
Track, assign, and complete work without things slipping through the cracks.
Inventory & Parts
Know what you have, where it is, and what's needed—no guessing.
Purchasing & Vendors
Simplify ordering, tracking, and cost visibility.
Operations Visibility (Next Phase)
Connect maintenance to production so teams can plan ahead—not react.
What Makes It Different
We're not trying to be everything. We're building the system teams actually rely on.
- Fast, intuitive workflows
- Built for technicians—not just managers
- Flexible as operations grow
- Designed from real-world use, not feature checklists
Where We're Going
This isn't just a maintenance tool—it's the foundation for a full operational platform.
- Multi-location support
- Production scheduling
- Automation and insights
- Better decisions with real data
We're building the software we always wished we had.
And we're improving it every day—by continuing to use it ourselves.
