Vorpal // the platform we deploy and extend

// platform · self-hosted · yours to own

The operational foundation we start from.

Vorpal is the reusable operational platform behind Mad Botter deployments — jobs, quotes, orders, parts, labor, equipment, documents, and costs in one self-hosted system. We do not start you from a blank codebase. We deploy this and adapt it around your workflows, your compliance requirements, and the systems you cannot replace.

// designed to support your compliance posture — we do not certify compliance

// data sovereignty

Stop trusting your operational data to shared clouds.

Traditional SaaS ERPs force your most sensitive financial and operational data into shared multi-tenant environments - creating compliance risks and recurring fees. Vorpal gives you the consumer-grade UX your team wants, with the air-gapped security your compliance officers demand. You own the software. You own the infrastructure. You own the data.

Everything an operator needs. Nothing they don't.

// 01 total data sovereignty

Keep your data behind your firewall.

True data isolation. Deploy on bare metal or inside your Azure tenant. No unauthorized access, no data leakage. Built to sit inside the boundary you already defend for ITAR, CMMC, and HIPAA-governed work.

The platform — straight answers

Where does Vorpal run?

On your infrastructure — bare metal, a Dokku single-server setup, or inside your Azure tenant. Your operational data stays behind your firewall; the software makes no unauthorized external calls.

Is Vorpal suitable for ITAR, CMMC, or HIPAA environments?

It is engineered for compliance-strict, air-gap-capable facilities across aerospace, defense, heavy civil, and industrial agriculture. You own the software, the infrastructure, and the data — no shared multi-tenant cloud. It is designed to support your compliance posture; The Mad Botter does not certify compliance.

How is Vorpal deployed and maintained?

It ships as self-contained Docker images: one-click Dokku for single-server setups, or Azure Container Apps runbooks for private cloud. It is powered by PostgreSQL and Rails 8, so your IT team can manage it with tools they already know.

What does Vorpal do?

It is a keyboard-first, project-centric ERP: track every job from quote to completion with real-time cost rollups across labor, materials, and equipment, plus IoT equipment monitoring and a full audit log on every query.

// take ownership

The platform is where we start, not what we sell.

You are not buying Vorpal — you are engaging The Mad Botter to put an operational system into production and stay accountable for it. The platform is why that takes months instead of years.
