About & consulting

Senior software engineers for manufacturing teams.

Bring us a defined project or a difficult operational problem. You work directly with the two engineers scoping and building the solution—without adding a full-time software team.

Who we are

Founding engineers, involved from the first conversation through delivery.

We worked together building manufacturing software at First Resonance before starting Factorial. That experience gave us a close view of the technical and operational challenges faced by teams building complex hardware.

Cofounder & engineer

Andrew Poggione

Andrew is a software engineer who likes difficult problems and maintainable systems. His background spans backend services, data modeling, analytics, developer tooling, infrastructure, and customer-facing applications. He brings a quantitative foundation in mathematics and economics and a strong bias toward software that can stand the test of time.

Cofounder & engineer

Orion Follett

Orion is a software engineer focused on turning complex business problems into simple, reliable systems. His background includes backend architecture, databases, performance, infrastructure, and internal platforms. He studied computer science and physics and is especially interested in the intersection of software and manufacturing.

Consulting

Practical engineering for real manufacturing operations.

We can extend and integrate Factorial, or work independently on the software and data problems slowing down your operation.

Factorial services

Implementation, integrations, customization, data migration, and hands-on operational support.

Analytics & dashboards

Clear operational metrics, reporting, data models, and decision-ready dashboards built around how your teams work.

Internal tools

Purpose-built tools and workflow automation that replace spreadsheets, manual handoffs, and repetitive work.

Custom applications

Web applications and software developed around your users, constraints, and long-term maintenance needs.

Data & integrations

Data pipelines, APIs, and connections between ERP, PLM, MES, machines, and the rest of your software stack.

DevOps & reliability

Infrastructure, deployment, observability, performance, and reliability work for systems your operation depends on.
