MindSpark LLC Information

MindSpark LLC., the company behind the PIRO toolset and team, was founded in late 2007 to serve as the business and legal backbone of a then yet unnamed product aimed to revolutionize the tracking and management of jewelry manufacturing. The driving ideas for this software came earlier, from the realization that the jewelry manufacturing industry really lacks a software system that can drive the processing of an order from beginning to the end. There were software packages out there that aimed to do this, but all of them were (and still are) either way to complex and expensive for the average manufacturing shop, or hard to use, requiring many clicks, data entry, search and reporting just to complete a simple order, thus wasting valuable production time. Observing the manufacturing processes employed in jewelry manufacturing, we came to the realization that there must be a simpler way to do this - and surely, after doing our research on the existing systems and talking to industry representatives, we found the holy trinity of functions that would be condensed into our software: visual presentation, ease of use, and flexibility. With these three concepts as pillars we started working on this application and we called it PIRO (which is the acronym for Production and Inventory Routing Organizer - which is exactly what our system does).
