    From Quote to Delivery — Without the Headache

    Every rod has a story: the customer calls, you spec it out, source the parts, build it, ship it, collect payment, and somehow track taxes. RodGenix is the rod building software that handles the business side of that story so you can focus on the craft.

    Quote It

    Build professional quotes in 60 seconds — with real parts, real costs, and your markup already calculated. Free, every plan.

    Source It

    Browse the HFF Custom Rods & Rodbuilding.com catalog with your dealer pricing. Order components without leaving the platform. Free, every plan.

    Build It

    Track every build through 7 stages. Know exactly where each rod stands — from blank to shipped.

    Built-in CRM + Live Vendor Costs

    Know your customer. Know your true margin.

    RodGenix is the only rod-building platform that pairs a real CRM with live vendor catalog pricing — giving you a profit lens on every quote, every build, every repeat customer.

    Builder CRM

    • Customer profiles with full build history, preferences, and notes
    • Quote → order → build → delivery timeline per customer
    • Lifetime revenue per customer, VIP flagging, and custom tags
    • Quote and order status emails, sent automatically

    Vendor Integration = Real Margin

    • Live HFF Custom Rods & Rodbuilding.com catalog (45,000+ items) wired into every quote
    • Real component cost vs. your sell price — margin shown before you send
    • Per-rod profitability reports and a margin leaderboard by build type

    Your Craft Deserves Better Than Spreadsheets.

    You didn't get into rod building to fight with Excel and shoeboxes of receipts. RodGenix gives you back the hours running a custom rod building business costs you — so you can take on more builds, not more paperwork.

    The Reality Today

    • 20-30 min per quote, hunting prices
    • Inventory in your head or a notebook
    • Vendor orders across 3 different websites
    • Customers can't find you online
    • Tax season = panic season

    With RodGenix

    • Professional quote sent in 60 seconds
    • Know every component you own, instantly
    • Order from HFF Custom Rods & Rodbuilding.com in one place
    • Your own storefront, selling 24/7
    • Tax reports your CPA will love

    Free plan: $0/month, forever. $2.99/rod for your first 20 sales each month, then free the rest of that month.
