About
Furnus
Furnus is a business systems firm. We build and run the systems a company depends on, and we take responsibility for how they work together.
Story
Furnus started in 2025. The name is Latin for furnace: heat and pressure go in, something useful comes out.
Most companies split this work across a technology lead, a marketing lead, and whoever built the website. Each of them makes sensible decisions that the others have to live with. We hold all of it in one engagement so those decisions get made once, together.
The work is web and software development, marketing, automation, and AI integration. A client can hire one as a project, several as a program, or the whole seat on a fractional basis.
Mission and vision
Mission
Give growing companies senior coverage across their operating systems and their go-to-market, at the size of engagement they can actually use.

Companies whose technology and growth run as one system, with named people accountable for the result.
