Sandbox

Sandbox is the only comprehensive platform for engineering labs and makerspaces. 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. As a very small company team themselves (1 to 10 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Sandbox is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and founded in 2017. More on sandboxplatform.com.

Things worth asking about: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.
