Tekpea

Tekpea's disruptive patent-pending technology platform. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

The natural audience is companies with a specific process to automate. They also list Electronic Design Automation (EDA), Energy, Lighting and Renewable Energy, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small company team themselves (11 to 50 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.

Tekpea is based in Sunnyvale, California and founded in 2010. Their site is tekpea.com.
