FOUNDED BY AN OPERATOR. BUILT FOR THE INDUSTRY.
WAREHOUSES ARE FAILING BEFORE THEY OPEN
Failed Certificate of Occupancy. Sprinkler Systems that can’t protect what’s actually stored. Operations locked into inefficient layouts for decades.
15 Years Watching the Industry
Fail the Same Way. Every Time.
Built from experience. Engineered to eliminate the failures we witnessed firsthand.
Our founder spent 15 years inside industrial warehousing watching the same preventable disasters repeat across every project.
Permits rejected for code violations that a 20-minute analysis would have caught. Sprinkler systems designed for a generic commodity — and then a tenant arrives with high-piled plastics that the system was never built to protect. A $300,000 retrofit. Operations on hold. Lease disputes. Everyone pointing at everyone else.
And layouts. Operations teams locked into inefficient floor plans for 7, 8, 10 years because “redesigning is too cumbersome.” Throughput problems that were baked into the building before the first pallet ever moved in — because no one modeled the actual operation before the permit was submitted.

These are not industry growing pains. They are solvable engineering problems. We built IDI to solve them.
IDI’s SmartSuite replaces guesswork with a verified digital twin of your building and your operation — checked against every applicable code before a single drawing goes to the AHJ. The result is not just a faster permit. It is a facility that actually works on day one, month one, and year ten.

- Guaranteed permitting success: code conflicts resolved before submittal, not after a correction notice Zero sprinkler retrofit surprises: commodity classification and rack storage adequacy verified at design, not at the fire marshal’s desk 120+ days earlier occupancy: that is 4-months of lease revenue collected instead of carry costs absorbed 65% lower production costs: layouts optimized around your actual workflows, not a generic template
TECHNOLOGY
Three Systems. One Unfair Advantage.
Most industrial projects are designed from assumption. IDI projects are designed from data — your building, your equipment, your operation — verified against every applicable code before anyone touches a permit package.
SmartScanTM
Pulls in your actual 2D/3D equipment — racking, dock levelers, conveyor lines, MHE — and places it inside a precise model of your building. Every clearance, every aisle width, every storage height calculated from the real layout. Delivered in 48 hours. Not weeks.
SmartDNATM
Every completed IDI project feeds a proprietary intelligence layer. Proven layout patterns, AHJ-specific code interpretations, and operational throughput data from comparable facilities are embedded into your design — so you benefit from every project that came before yours.
SmartVerifyTM
IBC, IFC, OSHA, ADA, and local jurisdiction amendments — checked simultaneously against your specific building model and operations. The only system that runs rack storage sprinkler design adequacy at the design stage. Not at the fire marshal’s desk 18 months after you’ve moved in.
What IDI Delivers For Your Role
The problem IDI solves looks different depending on who you are. Here is what it means specifically for yours.
