Our Team
The Canals team combines the world’s top tech talent with deep industry expertise. Founded by two experienced startup operators, we’re a profitable, bootstrapped company that proudly remains 90% employee owned
The industrial world runs on inconsistent data, limited standardization, and fragmented paperwork that breaks traditional software. AI can be a powerful solution, but in complex industries, its impact depends on how well it’s translated into real workflows.
At Canals, we build technology grounded in how our customers actually operate. We invest time learning the details of their day-to-day, understanding where their current systems fail, and designing solutions that empower them to do their best work. We treat every user insight as a blueprint for the next iteration, and we are always iterating.
Our goal is to make AI work across the industrial supply chain, solve real problems for our users, and keep materials moving.

In our daily lives we’re used to software that just works, products like Google, Instagram, and Uber. When I first came into the world of distribution, I was surprised to find the standard for software was very different.
At Canals, we’ve built a team of engineers and product leaders who’ve spent their careers at world-class technology companies being held to world-class standards.
We’re excited to give distributors a product they love, one that just works.

You make it look easy
What you're making happen with job management has been impossible for many other companies. And you make it look easy.

Blown away
When I started this program the Senior Management Team requested one thing. We want this to be as effortless as possible.
The result was that within 10 weeks of live use we had run thousands of documents through purchasing and receiving each month, most going straight into Eclipse without anyone on our team touching them. It is automated so we are only looking at the things that NEED to be looked at. When we showed leadership how simple the program was, fully adapted to our company needs, they were blown away. It was better than they knew. The engagement on our team was never a fight, even with various tech abilities, it is easy to use and truly makes the job easier and faster. It just makes sense.

It just works
What I love about Canals is, when you guys turn PO-to-receipt tracking on, it just works. Even order entry, it was maybe a week maybe before it was running. It's as advertised, and nothing is like that anymore.

More accurate than Google
Canals has been more accurate and does a better job than Google of providing more information when you're looking up products. And I do appreciate the deeper dive into the data and what we have in our stock.

Everyone I talk to loves the product. Our own users all rave about it.

Saved me so much time
I was a huge skeptic of Canals at first. I was like, "I don't know about all that," but it has really saved me so much time entering orders. I think we're on a really good track with it.
