# Built by Someone Who Ran a Manufacturing Software Company

MetaBinary is Joseph Rose: Founder & Technical CEO, based in Waterford, Ireland. He writes down how a business works before building anything on it, because he spent 20+ years watching software fail when nobody did.

## Joseph Rose

Founder & Technical CEO

Founded MetaBinary in Waterford, Ireland. 20+ years building software, cloud infrastructure, and automation for enterprise, full-time on MetaBinary since June 2026 as sole founder and shareholder.

### 20+ Years in Manufacturing Software

Before MetaBinary, Joseph held C-suite roles at a manufacturing estimating software company, where he led operations, product, and teams. He knows exactly how shops price work — and where the existing tools fail.

### Already Built This Category Once

Joseph built the world's first instant online metal-casting costing engine as co-founder and sole technical architect. MetaBinary is the second time he's built a platform like this from the ground up.

## Why We Exist

Most consulting firms only advise. Most development shops only build. Few have spent real time on both sides of that gap — running operations and product inside a manufacturing software company, and before that as the sole technical architect building an automation platform from scratch.

Joseph has watched shops try to buy software that assumes their process is already written down — and watched it fail, because the knowledge that actually drives pricing and scheduling lives in one person's head, not in a system.

MetaBinary exists to close that gap. The approach is to document how a business actually works before automating or building anything on top of it — not as a slogan, but as the direct lesson of having sat on both sides of exactly this problem in the manufacturing-software world.

## Who We Work With

We work with established B2B companies — roughly 10 to 100 people — that have real customers and real revenue, but systems that can't keep up.

Not a manufacturer? The services fit any B2B company. These three industries also get a platform built specifically for them:

CNC & Precision Machining

Structural Steel Fabrication

Product Assembly

## How We're Different

Built by an Operator

Your work is done by the founder: 20+ years in enterprise software, former C-suite executive at a manufacturing estimating software company.

We Plan and Deliver

Strategy and execution under one roof. No handoffs to third parties or waiting on internal teams.

No Vendor Lock-In

For service work we build on standard tools you can take with you. If you move on, everything transfers.

Fixed Fees

One project fee or one monthly fee, agreed before work starts. No hourly billing. No surprise costs.

## Also Built by MetaBinary

Two products in one manufacturing suite. Castimation is the specialist casting side of Partimation.

### Partimation

Upload a part or a drawing and see how it should be made — and what it should cost.

### Castimation

Turn a 3D part into a casting quote in minutes — and catch scrap before tooling is cut.

## Speaking and Events

Joseph speaks on what goes wrong when a business buys software before anyone has written down how the work is actually done — and on quoting and estimating in manufacturing, which he has now built twice.
