About Us

informXL is a leading business intelligence provider to homebuilders and developers throughout North America. Originally founded in 2004, we began by guiding builders through the complexities of ERP software selections, implementations and system conversions. It was during this time that we saw the writing on the wall: builder data was growing, and companies needed a way to manage it. So in 2009 we aligned our efforts to focus along a single path – data analytics for homebuilders.

With an unwavering commitment to our clients, the promises we make, and the solutions we deliver, we are a strong and stable partner to growing builders. Be it a comprehensive analysis project or a single report, informXL can help you better manage your information.
