Spyder Software

Spyder Software has been developing easy design software solutions for structural engineers. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. 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.

Spyder Software is based in Sutter, California. More on spydersoftware.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 Spyder Software, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
