About TexTrack™

Big-company engineering. Garage-startup overhead.

TexTrack started in a garage in Houston, Texas — founded by someone who spent years on a warehouse floor and knew exactly what slows crews down, what breaks, and what equipment actually needs to do. Today we run a lean design company: we engineer and own our intellectual property, then build through a certified American supplier network. Your money goes into the product, not our overhead.

Our story

Built by someone who lived the problem

Before TexTrack, our founder worked in a warehouse — walking the miles, hauling the loads, and watching good equipment sit broken for weeks waiting on a service technician. The problem wasn't a lack of machines on the market. It was that they were overbuilt in price, underbuilt in serviceability, and designed by people who had never worked a shift on the floor.

So TexTrack was started the way real industrial companies used to start: in a garage in Houston, Texas, with a design pad and a stubborn idea — that facility equipment should be simple to own, fast to fix, and priced like the maker doesn't have a factory to feed.

Because we don't. And that changes everything about what you pay and what you get.

How we build

Designed in Houston. Built in the USA.

Most equipment brands carry factories, machine shops, and idle capacity — and you pay for all of it in the sticker price. TexTrack is a design company: we own the IP, build on demand through a certified US supplier network, and inspect every unit in Houston before it ships.

We design it. We own it.

Every TexTrack system starts as our own engineering and intellectual property — designed in-house around what facility crews actually deal with every day.

Built through a US supplier network

Our designs are manufactured on demand through a certified American supplier network instead of a factory we have to own, staff, and maintain. Our overhead stays a fraction of a traditional equipment maker's.

Savings go into the product

With no factory of our own to feed, our time and money go where they matter: robust, high-quality design — and custom systems built around your facility.

ISO 9001:2015 certified network

Components are produced through an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing network — with AS9100D, IATF 16949, and ITAR-registered capability available for demanding applications.

Metal & material traceability

Full material and process lot traceability is available on manufactured components — every critical part can be traced back to its material source and production run.

Compliance docs on demand

Certificates of Conformance, material certifications, full dimensional reports, inspection reports, and hardware certs — available when your procurement or safety team requires them.

Built for uptime

Our business model is your uptime.

01

Any part swaps in 5–10 minutes

Every component on a TexTrack unit can be swapped out in 5 to 10 minutes with common hand tools. No specialization, no factory training, no waiting on a service technician. Your own team keeps the unit running.

02

Modular enough to ship UPS

Because our units are fully modular, everything ships in standard UPS boxes. No pallets, no dock scheduling — equipment and parts arrive like any other package.

03

Overnight replacement

If a unit ever goes down, UPS-boxable modularity means we can overnight a replacement — so you're back to work in days, not weeks. That speed isn't a service upsell. It's how we designed the product.

Leadership

The people behind TexTrack™

A small Houston team with shop-floor experience, big-company strategy, and a habit of building things ourselves. We design the equipment, write the software, and answer the phone.

Founder & Lead Designer

Jonathan Jones

Jonathan leads design and R&D at TexTrack, owning product engineering, the modular movement system platform, and the company's software portfolio.

Before founding TexTrack, he spent more than a decade in design, CAD, robotics, and manufacturing. As a certified hose welder at an industrial hose supply company, he helped launch its robotic welding program. He invented the modular movement system platform behind TexTrack's standing scooters, burden carriers, and stock chasers, holds multiple patent filings on tethered safety bolts for dropped-object prevention, and built TagRite, HoseTag, and HomeTrackIt, all subsidiaries of TexTrack Inc.

Jonathan is a certified TIG welder and certified on Haas mills and lathes, with hands-on experience in robotic manufacturing and rapid prototyping, which is why TexTrack equipment is designed to be simple to build and fast to repair.
