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.

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.
Our customers streamline their tedious
processes with bespoke software.
Here are a few projects that we've done over the years.
CUSTOM SOFTWARE BUILD
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:
- 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 3,000+ families in Jacksonville, FL
- Technologies: Phoenix LiveView - Elixir - PostgresSQL

PROGRESSIVE WEB APP

We took 2nd place and contributed to creating a better world! Check out the article from Flagler Live.
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 company's 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. View his work experience here.
"Everyone in our team loves the software Or Equals built! Tremendous Job!"
