Gumbo Software Inc.

Gumbo has delivered some of the best IBM i utility software. In practice that means connecting machines, sensors and robots to software that controls or monitors them.

The natural audience is manufacturers and operators. They also list Robotics, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Gumbo Software Inc. is based in Seattle, Washington and founded in 1988. Their site is gumbo.com.

Before you commit, look at hardware compatibility, uptime, and support. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

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