Independent software studio in Auburndale, Florida
Small-business software,
without the bloat.
Central Florida Software is an independent software studio in Auburndale, Florida, building focused, affordable software for small businesses. Five products — trucking finances, client bookings, carrier leads, game-day pools, and shop paperwork — each doing one job well, each supported by the person who wrote it.
AxleVault
Bookkeeping built for owner-operators. AxleVault watches your cost per mile as it happens, reads receipts on sight, tags every fuel stop by state for IFTA, and tells you whether a load clears your costs before you commit to it.
- Receipt scanning that fills itself in
- Live cost-per-mile tracking
- IFTA fuel log with quarterly totals
- Load profit check before you book
- CDL, medical card & 2290 reminders
- Tax-season exports for your accountant
Free for 14 days, no card required. Founding members lock in $4.99/month — or $49.99/year — for life. $9.99/month after the founding spots fill.
TakingClients
A booking page that looks like your work, not a marketplace. Built for tattoo artists and stylists: clients pick a time and pay a deposit before anything touches your calendar — and there are no commissions on your bookings, ever.
- Free booking page with a real-time calendar
- Deposits collected up front
- Ten templates built for creative portfolios
- Payment plans via Klarna, Afterpay & Affirm
- SMS reminders and balance payment links
- AI front desk that answers clients 24/7
Free to start. Pro is $12/month and Studio is $29/month — the first 20 artists get Pro free for a year.
AuthorityAlerts
Your next customer just got their trucking authority. FMCSA publishes every new trucking company the morning it happens — AuthorityAlerts delivers the ones in your states, with the owner's phone and email, to your inbox by 10:30 AM ET. Built for insurance agents, factoring companies, dispatchers, and ELD vendors: whoever calls first wins.

PaperPusher
Every cert, invoice, and due date — one portal, under your shop's name. Paper Pusher is a white-label customer portal for independent crane and hoist inspection shops: customers log in to download certs, pay invoices by ACH, and see exactly when the next inspection is due.

- Invoices paid online by ACH (~1%, capped at $15)
- Automatic reminders at 60, 30 & 7 days out

Free Starter plan for up to 15 customer companies; Pro is $199/month. Launching early 2027 — the waitlist is open now.
Some work we do for free.
Central Florida Software built and maintains the website for T.L.C. Association (Tender Loving Caregivers) pro bono — a Lakeland, Florida 501(c)(3) that trains and supports foster, adoptive, and relative caregivers across Polk, Highlands, and Hardee Counties, and runs a free Care Closet of clothing, shoes, books, and diapers for children in care.
Small on purpose.
Central Florida Software LLC is a one-founder software company. Every product here started as a real problem someone was living with — then got built, shipped, and supported directly by the person who wrote the code. No sales teams, no per-seat pricing traps, no features nobody asked for.
Quick answers.
- Are these products free to try?
- Every one of them. AxleVault has a 14-day trial with no card, TakingClients and KickoffPools have free plans, AuthorityAlerts gives you a free 10-lead sample, and Paper Pusher will launch with a free Starter tier.
- Who builds and supports these products?
- Brandon Livingstone — Central Florida Software is a one-founder studio, so the person answering your email is the person who wrote the code.
- Where is Central Florida Software located?
- Auburndale, Florida, between Tampa and Orlando. The products serve small businesses everywhere.
- Do you take on custom or pro bono work?
- Products come first, but we make room for work that matters — like building and maintaining the website for T.L.C. Association, a local caregiver nonprofit, at no charge. Email us and ask.
Talk to the person who built it.
Product questions, partnerships, support — email goes straight to the founder, not a ticket queue.
