Specifi

Specifi designs and publishes tools for the food service and hospitality industry. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. They also list Service Industry, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Specifi is based in Schaumburg, Illinois and founded in 2006. More on us.specifiglobal.com.

Things worth asking about: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with Specifi, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
