AI Speed. Engineering Rigor.

MadeLabs is a software engineering firm that helps mid-market and enterprise companies build custom software products, AI agents and integrations across cloud, web and mobile, and plan the product vision behind them.

Working software early. Code that endures.

You'll see progress in the first week, not the first quarter.

  1. Week 1Prototypes you can react to
  2. Week 4A first demo with key components that you can navigate
  3. Every 2 weeksVisual and business updates

AI-assisted delivery throughout, from the first prototype to production.

Systems thinking and architectural engineering have never been more important.

  • Senior architecture from the start, designed before the first feature.
  • AI-generated code peer-reviewed by an experienced engineer.
  • Security and testing built in as we go, never an afterthought.
  • You own the intellectual property.

How we're different

Most of the delay isn't the coding. It's waiting on access, handoffs between teams, and unclear requirements found later. And maybe more than anything, it's understanding the business and surfacing important non-technical decisions.

The usual way

  • Discovery
  • Design
  • Approval
  • Building
  • Rework and redesign found late

The MadeLabs way

  • Building together with business users from week one
  • How we deliver

    A prototype before kickoff, so everyone is clear on the path forward from day one.

  • Where we build

    In our lab from week one, shipped through your own review.

  • Who does the work

    Four senior people you know by name, not ambiguous staffing line items.

What we build, and how we help you plan

    A monthly advisory to help your product and engineering teams go faster and operate securely with AI.

  • AI agents

    AI agents that do meaningful work inside your business, built and reviewed for your production and security standards.

  • Confidence Check

    An expert assessment of an existing system, with a clear path forward.

  • Technology roadmap

Kent PickardChief Technology Officer, Bluetail

I've worked with MadeLabs at two separate companies and rely on them not only for their technical guidance but also their enthusiasm for our company, our product, and their ability to seamlessly partner with our development teams.

Phil MazzaChief Operating Officer, Financial Network, Inc.

I've had the opportunity to work with MadeLabs in both the aviation and marine industry and would continue working with them in any new venture of the future. They are reliable, effective, and passionate about the work they do.

Senior engineers lead our projects.

You'll know the person leading your project by name before work begins. Our team works remote-first across the US and South America, with offices in Fishers, Indiana and East Lansing, Michigan.

Our founders, Nicholas Barger and Adam Broadbent, still lead the firm, with more than 50 years of combined experience.
