The Pesto Group Inc.
We craft technology solutions like an Italian grandmother crafts her pesto — with passion, care, and the finest of ingredients. Admittedly, Nonna’s pesto tastes much better than anything we create, but our products are guaranteed fresh and made to withstand the test of time. Our subsidiary, Pesto Softworks, engineers affordable, user-friendly software for the LBM industry that automates many routine business operations and improves the business performance of hardware and building supply stores. That’s just one example of what we bring to the plate. Simply put, if you have a technology challenge, we’re like you're Nonna cooking a holiday dinner, we guarantee satisfaction. And also like Nonna, our creations are crafted to ensure the best experience – beautifully architected, designed, and served.
