Bendel Systems — Organic Software Built on the Coast
Organic software built on the coast, for the coast.
WHAT BENDEL SYSTEMS IS
Bendel Systems builds coastal operations software pulled directly from real work on the water.
Every module is based on lived field experience — offshore hauling, kelp farming, storm seasons, tides, lakes, run-off, and municipal infrastructure.Built for fishermen, aquaculture crews, towns, and coastal operators who need clear signals, reliable windows, and simple, rugged tools that make sense in the field.
Modules include:
BFI / FishOps – Pattern engines, windows, field planning
KelpOps – Aquaculture insight + workflow & season planning
LobsterOps – Offshore intelligence, trap cycles, and haul windows
MunicipalOps – Lakes, tides, stormwater, and infrastructure monitoring
Coastal Vision – The big-picture environmental layer
Helm Enterprise – The backbone tying every module together
MODULES:
| LobsterOps | Offshore hauling intelligence: trap cycle scoring, weather windows, swell & tide impacts, vessel presets, block heat maps, efficiency planning, and operator notes. |
| KelpOps | Aquaculture insight engine: line condition, growth tracking, seasonal timing, water chemistry, farm snapshots, and yield projections — built straight from kelp field work. |
| MunicipalOps | Town-scale environmental + operations module: lakes, stormwater, flooding indicators, infrastructure watches, environmental alerts, and seasonal planning for municipalities. |
| Coastal Vision | The big-layer view: coastal strain indicators, storms, tides, swells, water quality, climate effects, sediment load, hazard pulses — the whole coast in one frame. |
| Helm Enterprise | The backbone of the entire system: module orchestration, color logic, preset engine, nodes, integration flow, demo launcher, Scenario Mode, and future PCM/PIM AI layers. |
About the Founder
Ben Stendel — Founder, Bendel Systems
(“Bendel”, to everybody on the water)For years I’ve worked in Maine’s fisheries, aquaculture, and coastal operations — from offshore lobster gear to running partner farms in Spruce Head with Atlantic Sea Farms. Everything I build comes from real patterns on real boats and real shorelines, not from theory.What started as a way to map my own fishing windows evolved into a full modular intelligence platform for the coast: lobster hauling windows, kelp gear checks, environmental signals, tide/weather analysis, municipal shoreline readiness, and now multi-module coastal operations — all built from the ground up in Maine.My approach is simple:
take everything we already know on the water, digitize it cleanly, make it visual, and make it usable.Today, Bendel Systems connects fisheries, aquaculture, municipal operations, and shoreline planning into one clear daily window. It’s built for fishermen, farmers, harbor staff, biologists, and coastal towns — the people who actually work on the coast. And everything starts with small, working demos that grow into full systems.If you’re part of the Maine coast — fishing, farming, running a town, or shaping policy — I built this so it works for you too.
Real-world experience: Years on boats, farms, wharves, and working waterfronts.
Built in Maine: Every module, every pattern, every design comes from here.
Future-facing: Early coastal AI, environmental signals, modular demos, and node-based shoreline monitoring.
