The Brown5 — Idaho Software Company Solving Operational Problems With Technology
The Brown5 LLC is an Idaho-based software company headquartered in Caldwell, Idaho, serving organizations across the United States. We help mission-driven organizations — nonprofits, churches, ministries — as well as small businesses, growing companies, and enterprise clients solve operational problems through custom software, artificial intelligence, and automation. We are also the maker of Theophilus, a faith-based learning application available on the web, the Apple App Store, and Google Play.
Most of the organizations we work with do not need "a new website." They need the disconnected parts of their operation to work together: the intake form that never reaches the right person, the spreadsheet three people maintain by hand, the donor records that live in four systems, the reporting that takes a week to assemble. We start every engagement with a free discovery conversation, identify the actual bottleneck, and recommend the smallest, highest-impact fix first.
What we do
- Custom software development — internal tools, operational platforms, client portals, and web applications built around how your team actually works.
- AI development and automation — retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) over your own documents, AI assistants, document scanning and extraction, and workflow automation that removes repetitive manual steps.
- Custom business platforms and CRM systems — donor, volunteer, member, client, project, and billing systems unified into one source of truth.
- Nonprofit and church technology — donor and volunteer CRMs, giving and reporting workflows, member engagement tools, and grant-ready reporting.
- Websites and web presence — fast, accessible, search-optimized sites that are connected to the systems behind them instead of standing alone.
Who we work with
Nonprofits and foundations, churches and ministries, service businesses, professional practices, logistics and field-service operations, and enterprise teams that need a system no off-the-shelf product covers. Every service we offer is available to any organization, regardless of size or sector.
How engagements work
Websites typically launch in three to six weeks. Automations and dashboards range from two to five weeks. Custom operational platforms are phased and generally go live in stages over two to four months, so your team sees value early instead of waiting for a single large launch. Every engagement includes training, documentation, and thirty days of post-launch support, with an ongoing Care Plan available for hosting, monitoring, backups, and security updates.
How we protect your data
Every system we build uses role-based access, encrypted connections, and row-level security so people only see the data they are authorized to see. Donor, member, and financial data is never shared, sold, or used for model training. You own your data and can export it at any time.
