About Stuart Bolen

The Difference Is Experience

Anyone can write code. Not everyone understands the operational reality of your business. I do.

"I built and deployed a full production CMMS from the ground up — managing hundreds of assets, work orders, and compliance schedules at scale. That same engineering rigor goes into every system RunLine Systems builds."

— Stuart Bolen, Founder & Reliability Engineer

With 25+ years of hands-on experience in industrial maintenance, reliability engineering, and automation, I founded RunLine Systems to solve real operational problems — not build generic software.

I've worked in active industrial and aviation facilities where software failures have real consequences. That experience means I design systems that actually hold up in the field — not just in demos.

Whether you're a restaurant group needing equipment tracking, a warehouse automating inventory, a facility manager replacing spreadsheets, or a manufacturer eliminating downtime — I understand your operation before I write a line of code.

RunLine Systems is a one-person freelance operation. When you hire me, you work directly with me. No middlemen, no outsourcing, no project managers between us.

🏭

Engineer First, Developer Second

I understand operations, maintenance workflows, and business processes from the inside. The software follows the operation — not the other way around.

🎯

Built for Your Exact Operation

No templates. No off-the-shelf features you'll never use. Every system designed around how your team actually works.

💰

The Sweet Spot in Pricing

Too complex for generic freelancers. Too small for enterprise vendors. RunLine sits in the gap — custom, credible, and affordable.

📞

Direct Access. Always.

You call Stuart. Not a support queue, not a chatbot. The person who built your system is the person you talk to.

🔒

You Own Your Software

No subscription lock-in. No vendor holding your data hostage. Every system is yours — the code, the database, everything.

✅

Proven in Production

Let's Talk

How I Work

From Problem to Production

A straightforward process with no surprises — you know what's being built, what it costs, and when it's done before we start.

Discovery Call

We map your operation, identify the bottlenecks costing you the most, and define exactly what needs to be built. No jargon, no pressure — just clarity.

Scope & Flat-Rate Proposal

You receive a clear proposal — what gets built, what it costs, and when it's done. No hourly billing surprises. No scope creep without your approval.

Build & Review

I build iteratively with regular check-ins so you see progress throughout — not just at the end when changes are expensive.

Deploy & Support

I deploy your system, train your team, and provide full documentation. Ongoing support keeps your software current as your operation grows.
