SupplyDome didn't start with a product idea. It started with a question that kept coming up in conversations with operations teams, maintenance leads, and asset integrity managers across energy, manufacturing, and heavy industry: why is it still this hard to find the full history of a piece of equipment?
The team behind SupplyDome comes from a background in Human Centered Design — a discipline built on the belief that the best solutions come from understanding people deeply before proposing anything at all. That means stepping into the field, observing how work actually happens, understanding the pressures people are under, and listening without an agenda.
"We don't call ourselves industry experts. We learned by sitting with the people who are — understanding what they do, what slows them down, and what keeps them up at night."
What we heard, consistently and across every industry we spoke to, was the same set of frustrations. Equipment history fragmented across systems. Maintenance records that existed somewhere but couldn't be found when they were needed. Teams arriving on site without the full context of what had been done before. Safety information living in someone's head rather than attached to the asset.
These weren't software problems. They were human problems that software had failed to solve — because most software was built around what was technically possible, not around how operations teams actually work.
So we built SupplyDome differently. Every feature, every workflow, every decision about what to include and — just as importantly — what to leave out, came from what we learned in those conversations. The product reflects the work, not the other way around.
