Technology should solve an expensive problem.
If it doesn’t move time, money, quality, or delivery, it can wait.
About
Manufacturers shouldn’t have to become technology companies to benefit from world-class technology.
Manufacturers run extraordinarily sophisticated physical systems. The software and data around those systems often lag behind. VBOLT exists to close that gap.
Respect
We are not here to teach shops how to manufacture.
The customer already knows the machines, the process, the material, the customer, and the floor.
VBOLT brings software, data, systems, and automation. The useful work is combining both — without making the operation fit the software.
How we think
Practical beats impressive.
The software should fit the operation.
The operation shouldn’t have to fit the software.
Better decisions begin with knowing what actually happened.
Capture first. Analysis after the record exists.
Improvement should compound.
See. Solve. Prove. Expand.
People
Founder-led. Built in South Carolina.
Daniel Toohey started VBOLT to put serious data and software capability in front of shops that large vendors usually ignore.
The first product is BOLT: capture what happens on the floor without turning machinists into clerks.
