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 majority 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.

Canals is a force multiplier
Tasks that previously took hours of inside sales time now take minutes. We tried another solution and just couldn’t make it work. Canals’ AI application is the future of order entry. It's had a significantly positive impact on our business, and the more we use it the better it gets.
