The AI operating system
for your department

Build and run custom business software with AI. Your apps, data, and automations together, without per-seat fees.

A client portal on your own domain, with intake, document requests and case tracking behind it. Reminders chase what clients owe you.

Jobs, daily logs, punch lists and change orders in one system. Crews update it from the site, and clients sign off on changes online.

Donors, grants, volunteers and programs in one system. Donors manage their gifts online, and volunteers never add per-seat fees.

Bookings, tickets, check-in, shifts and suppliers in one system. Clients confirm headcount online, and reminders go out on schedule.

Orders, inventory, production and deliveries in one system. Suppliers confirm dates online, so the floor plans from current numbers.

Enrollment, absences, field trips and support plans next to your SIS. Families sign forms online, and staff see only what they should.

Tenant portals, maintenance, leasing and owner reports in one system. Tenants book repairs online, and owner reports go out on their own.

Permits, records requests, grants and 311 in one system. Residents apply and track progress online, and every decision stays on record.

Policy sign-offs, training, accreditation and use-of-force reviews in one system. Every acknowledgment is logged for your assessors.

Work orders, time clocks, inspections and inventory in one system. Ask for a new form, field or approval step and it’s ready in minutes.

Pipeline, quotes, renewals and commissions in one system. Partners register deals in a portal, and commissions update as deals close.

Courses, exams and certificates for your staff or paying learners. Expiring certifications send reminders, with no per-learner fees.

Tickets, SLAs, returns and refunds in one system. Customers track their requests online, and overdue tickets escalate automatically.

Hiring, onboarding, time off and reviews in one system. Employees update their own details, and you control who sees each record.

Permits, records requests, grants and 311 in one system. Residents apply and track progress online, and every decision stays on record.

Our customers

Teams already running on Zite

"We've tried many tools over the years.

Zite is in a league of its own.

It's more robust, more flexible and saves our county time and money."

Ravi K. Udeshi

Election Manager, Fairfax County

"We built our own tools for the requests and feedback we get from 150 branches, pre-filled with what we already know about each one. Matching up survey results used to take literally weeks.

Now my team spends that time working with the data."

Stephanie Anderson

Associate Director, New York Public Library

"We used to have a massive backlog of app and internal tool requests.

Now anyone on our team can build the software they need, and we know the apps match our brand and IT guidelines."
