About
Pickle Software LLC is an independent software company based in Fairfield, Ohio.
We build management software for member-based organizations — the schools, programs, congregations, and community groups that keep a roster of people and are responsible for how those people are doing.
How we build
Every organization we have looked at believes its process is unique. Mostly it isn't. What differs is the vocabulary: students, parishioners, pupils, residents, members. Underneath, the same handful of problems keeps appearing — who belongs here, what have they done, what comes next for them, and how do we reach the adult responsible for them.
So we build the general mechanism rather than one organization's version of it. A progression system that a martial arts school configures as belt ranks is the same system another program configures as course modules or service milestones. Building it that way is slower at the start and considerably faster forever after.
Who we serve
Small and mid-sized organizations, generally ones where the person running the software is also the person running the program. They do not have an IT department. They have a Sunday afternoon. Software for them has to be obvious on first use and has to keep working without attention.
Working with us
We are a small shop and we work closely with the organizations that use what we make. If you run a program that has outgrown its spreadsheet, we would genuinely like to hear how you handle it today.
