Realtime with Phoenix

The Elixir language's Phoenix framework is the epitome of cutting edge open source software. With Phoenix, we build highly interactive realtime web applications using the same technology of our nation's rock solid telecomm network.

Rapid development with Rails

The gold standard of getting from back-of-the-napkin idea to market quickly is Ruby on Rails. Twitter, AirBnB, Twitch, and Hulu all began with small, highly productive teams using this technology.

Services

Instead of spending money on software, let's build software that makes you money.

From rescuing a project, to augmenting your team, or making your business more efficient, we've got you covered.

Web Development

We use best-in-class technologies (Phoenix/Rails) to rapidly build reliable software that remedies your growing business' most acute inefficiencies.

Mobile Development

You need your office staff to know exactly what's going on in the field. We'll keep everyone on the same page with a Flutter mobile application. No backend yet? We do that too.

Our customers streamline their tedious processes with bespoke software.

Here are a few projects that we've done over the years.

Local Fare Jax

It all started with frustration that their off the shelf software had an 8-step online store sign up. We did some due diligence and discovered that their software platform belonged to a bankrupt company that hadn't done a major update in over 5 years. We built them an entire platform that:

  • They doubled their revenue on their new platform, to the tune of multiple millions
  • Reduced their sign up to 4 steps
  • Delivered massive speed improvements due to building it on the lightning-fast Phoenix LiveView technology
  • Built a bespoke software algorithm for calculating deliveries/logistics
  • Removed the need for member passwords with magic link login
  • Delivered a full routing system, from mobile app, to inner staff realtime routing interface, and updates for their members
  • Pioneered a completely custom online store, never before done in LiveView
  • Complete inventory management system that tracks their item quantities against what was purchased in the store
  • Pioneered an automatic allergy-to-item matching algorithm that keeps members safe by auto-substituting items with allergens
  • Painlessly serves 5,000+ families in Jacksonville, FL

  • Build a fully-featured Quickbooks integration that has processed tens of millions in invoices and payments
  • Created a serverless function that painlessly generates legal documents on the fly
  • Sped up legal delivery times massively through automatic document generation.
  • Interviewed and Hired 7 software engineers
  • They also doubled their revenueto the tune of multiple millions.

Patient Pilot

Collaborating with Jitesh Doshi of Spinspire and Dr. Arnold Silverberg, we built Patient Pilot in 24 hours.

It's a Progressive Web App (you can download it on your phone) that helps streamline the process of surgeons educating their patients on elective surgeries. This was a big event put on by the city of Palm Coast, Florida.

We took 2nd place and contributed to creating a better world! Check out the article from Flagler Live.

ACE Dispatch - Dispatching Software for Truckers

We built this dispatching software for a trucking company that completely transformed the dispatching story. Dispatching staff could quickly update routes company-wide. Truckers could easily get the updates.

We also built an integration with the truckers' handheld devices, so that they could mark deliveries on the fly.

Patient Pilot

A software development shop obsessed with delivering real-world business value.

In October 2019, Joshua Plicque left a Software Engineering Lead position to pursue his personal passion of day trading in the stock market. Along the way, in January 2020, he found his phone chirping with opportunities to solve three companies' business problems through software. With this much opportunity, Or Equals was born.

Joshua's career began under the tutelage of the world-class developers of Hashrocket, a lauded Ruby-on-Rails shop. After apprenticing there for a year, he honed his skills for 4 years at ZenCase, a legal practice management startup. When things started taking off at the startup, he fielded a rockstar team of EmberJS and Rails developers.

He founded Or Equals on the 3 core principles of: radical honesty, software excellence through craftmanship, and continuous improvement. His software experience spans the fashion, trucking, travel, workplace productivity, and insurance industries. Due to these varied experiences, he brings a dynamic and well-rounded approach, founded upon delivering business value.
