Founded

Manufacturing and distribution still run on spreadsheets, phone calls, and craftsman knowledge.

Kalima is built for the quoting, purchasing, and order work in those businesses.

KALIMA TECHNOLOGIES INC. was founded in 2026 in Davenport, Iowa.

Paul Arnold Kalima Jr., Director

How we work

The company is the director and the product. This is how the work is approached.

01

Built to be used

A workflow is built to be used, not left in a presentation.

02

The match has to be right

The details are the product: a correct part match, a quote a person can review, and a screen that is easy to check.

03

Put in place over a few weeks

Kalima was founded in 2026. A quoting or purchasing workflow is scoped with the customer and typically takes 2–6 weeks to put in place.

04

A person still approves

Each workflow names what the software may do and what a person still has to approve.
