Founding design partner program

Help build the contractor platform you wish already existed.

We are selecting a small number of GCs willing to bring real projects, real failure stories, and direct feedback into the product process.

You should not have to wait until launch to tell software companies what they missed.

Design partners work directly with the people building Duxor. The goal is to solve repeatable contractor problems, validate the live operating model, and shape a product that can replace fragmented daily workflows.

The product already starts with unusual depth.Design partners add more companies, project types, edge cases, and operating styles.
30+Years of software, systems, workflow, data, integration, and product experience
10,000+Customers served by the GC already co-designing the field and operating experience

What you receive

Direct influence, high-touch access, and a product built around real work.

This is not a survey panel. Founding design partners participate in a practical build and pilot process.

Founding partner benefits

  • Direct access to the product founder and development process
  • Workflow sessions built around your actual company and active projects
  • Early access to live operations, communication, presence, scheduling, voice, and core business workflows
  • Founder-led onboarding, configuration, and pilot support
  • Meaningful influence over priorities, terminology, workflows, and usability
  • Preferred pricing tied to the scope and timing of the pilot
  • A clear voice in what becomes configurable, standard, or integration-driven

Who fits best

We want operating partners, not passive beta users.

The strongest design partners are candid, specific, willing to use real workflows, and interested in solving problems that other contractors share.

You run enough moving parts to feel the gaps.

Multiple active jobs, crews, subcontractors, customers, vehicles, equipment, schedule changes, and field communication create real coordination pressure.

You have a current stack worth examining.

You use several products, spreadsheets, group texts, email, accounting tools, cameras, or manual processes and can explain where the handoffs break.

You can bring specific failure stories.

You remember the late crew, missed handoff, buried customer decision, wrong-site tool, schedule surprise, or morning spent calling everyone for status.

You will test with real people and jobs.

You can involve an owner or operations lead, a project manager, a superintendent, and a small field team in a controlled rollout.

How it works

From workflow review to controlled daily use.

We start narrow enough to learn quickly, then expand only after the core experience proves useful and reliable.

01 / DISCOVERY

Map the current stack.

Review the tools, spreadsheets, texts, devices, reports, costs, and manual processes used to run the company.

02 / FAILURE STORIES

Study what actually went wrong.

Identify missing information, delayed communication, duplicate entry, unnecessary calls, and the action the system should have enabled.

03 / REAL DATA

Set up a controlled pilot.

Load representative people, projects, jobsites, schedules, vehicles, equipment, customer contacts, and financial context.

04 / DAILY FEEDBACK

Use it, challenge it, improve it.

Run active work through Duxor, review feedback frequently, distinguish universal needs from company preferences, and ship improvements.

The standard we care about

The product must solve a real day better than the current stack.

The best outcome is not a long list of requested features. It is fewer status calls, less duplicate entry, faster schedule changes, better communication capture, earlier warning, and one trusted place to act.

We will ask hard questions. Which information was unavailable? Who needed it? When did it become important? What downstream work did it affect? What should have happened automatically, and what should have required confirmation?

That is how a broad platform stays useful instead of becoming a collection of checkboxes.

Common questions

What to expect before applying.

We are intentionally limiting the early program so each partner receives meaningful attention.

Do we need to replace our current software immediately?

No. The pilot should begin with a focused workflow and controlled group. We will identify where Duxor can replace, reduce, or connect existing tools as value is proven.

Do we need a dedicated technology team?

No. We need an engaged operating lead, access to a few representative users, and the willingness to explain current processes honestly.

Will every request be built?

No. Requests are evaluated as universal, segment-specific, configurable, integration-driven, or company-specific. The goal is a strong product, not custom software for one company.

Is the program free?

Pilot structure and pricing depend on scope, onboarding effort, users, data, and timing. Founding partners receive preferred terms and direct product influence.

Bring us the hardest workflow your current software still does not solve.

The more specific the story, the better the first conversation.
