Sledgehammer Infosystems Home
Let’s be honest: you’re probably using software designed for companies 50 times your size. It’s got features you’ll never touch, tools and infrastructure built assuming that you have dedicated experts doing nothing but maintaining them, and pricing that makes you cringe every time it’s time to pay up. But the alternatives? They’re often too simple to handle your actual complexity. You’re stuck in the middle: too sophisticated for basic tools, too small for enterprise solutions.
We focus on serving businesses and organizations in west-central Indiana from our home base in West Lafayette. We build focused, purpose-built technology systems for organizations in our community that operate at human scale, where you know your clients by name, where context matters, and where adaptability & flexibility beats rigid process.
Our Services
Website Design & Hosting
Strategic web presence that tells your story without requiring you to be a tech expert to maintain. Built for clarity, purpose, and easy updates.
Software Development
Hand-crafted applications built around your way of doing business. We design systems that capture how you actually work, at a scale that makes sense for organizations your size.
IT Support
Reliable technology support from people who understand small-organization constraints. We handle the technical details so you can focus on your mission.
Hardware & IT Procurement
The right gear, sourced and set up without the enterprise price tag or the six-week requisition process. Workstations, laptops, cables, storage — whatever your team actually needs.
Consulting
Sometimes the best solution isn't software: it's a better process, a clearer workflow, or just learning to use the tools you already have. We'll help you figure out what actually needs building.
Web Accessibility Services
From comprehensive audits to remediation and content strategy, we help make your website accessible to everyone in your community.
Our Products
GatherPack
GatherPack helps busy people-powered groups stay organized without losing their minds.

TeensySuite
TeensySuite is a collection of lightweight, easy-to-use software tools designed to help small businesses and organizations manage their operations more efficiently. Built with simplicity and usability in mind, both for us as the developers and for our users, our tools are intuitive and straightforward. No fluff, minimal pizzazz, but plenty of flexibility - and just a bit of retro tech aesthetic.

How We Work
Small by choice
We’re not a big consultancy. We’re not trying to scale to 100 clients. This isn’t a limitation: it’s how we stay sharp and deliver work that actually fits. We want to get to know the people and the communities that we’re working with, and that just doesn’t happen when you’re trying to serve a huge client base.
Focused on community
We know that technology is just a tool, and that the real work is building relationships, understanding needs, and creating systems that support the people who are doing the work. We want to be a part of your community, not just a vendor you call when something breaks. We want to understand your mission, your values, and the people you serve so that we can build technology that actually supports your work instead of just getting in the way.
Built around how you work
We start by understanding your actual day-to-day reality, not by trying to fit you into a predetermined solution.
What makes you different from the organization down the street? Where do generic tools force you into wasting time? What context gets lost when information lives in five different places? What’s broken enough that you’ve learned to just work around it instead of trying to fix it?
Then we build systems that support those specific realities. Sometimes that’s a custom application. Sometimes it’s just a better spreadsheet. We’re here to solve your actual problem, not sell you a predetermined solution.
