Cirql is an industrial tech company. We invest in niche industrial businesses, run them on software we build, and build the same for yours.
Talk to usMost industrial companiesstill run on phone calls,spreadsheets and memory.That is where softwareand AI go the furthest.
So we look for niches like that: steady demand, specific parts, and nobody building software or AI for them.
Two companies of our own, each built around software we wrote. A third is a conversation away.
Replacing pump vanes usually means a phone call, a part number nobody can find, and a wait. So we built a store that gets it done in minutes: search by model or part number, or snap the nameplate, and see the sets that fit, side by side by price. Checkout, labels, tracking and reminders run on their own.
Nobody had every industrial vacuum pump and air compressor in one place, so we built it from the makers’ own catalogues and spec sheets, with every figure kept next to its source. Now anyone can compare models side by side, describe what they need in plain English, and ask for a quote.
Steady demand, specific parts, customers who need an answer today, and systems nobody has touched in years. If you run a business like that, or know one, we would like to hear about it.
Pitch us a niche
Quotes, pricing, shipping, inventory, billing, emails, marketing and cold outreach: Vac Vanes does all of it on its own.
A person steps in only for the judgment calls, like a fit we can’t confirm. Everything else is software we wrote.
We build it for our own companies first, then for yours. Five things we build again and again.
Customers, equipment, quotes and history move out of inboxes and spreadsheets into one CRM your team actually opens.
| Account | Pumps | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Lakeside Packaging | 6 | Vane check due |
| Prairie Molded Parts | 3 | Quote sent |
| Granite Bay Plastics | 11 | Call back Tue |
| Cedar Lane Printing | 2 | New contact |
| North Fork Creamery | 4 | Vane check due |
Sample accounts. Vac Vanes runs on a CRM we built the same way.
Customers tap the part instead of guessing the number. Vac & Air has 225 exploded views. This one is live, a DVP CB 12 rotary vane pump: tap the vanes, or any part, to see its number and add it to a quote.
The order-to-shipping chain, catalog updates, follow-ups and reminders. The work that used to be someone’s whole afternoon.
One of the jobs that runs Vac Vanes without anyone watching it.
Agents that read the inbox, look up the part, draft the reply and log what they did. A person approves anything that matters.
| Status | |

The rules are Vac Vanes’ own. Sample emails.

Two ways in. Both start from systems we already built for our own companies.
