About ControlZebra

Clear version history for the full lifecycle of the systems that keep factories moving.

Our Mission

ControlZebra exists to help industrial teams make every change interpretable throughout the full lifecycle of their projects. From design and commissioning to maintenance and future upgrades, teams should be able to see what changed, understand why it changed, and act with confidence.

We are building missing links for industrial source control - practical tools that enable change visualization, safe rollback, traceability, and approvals while leveraging tried and tested technologies and platforms which your IT trusts.

Who We Are

ControlZebra was started by an industrial automation engineer turned product manager, with the support of colleagues and friends who know the pressure of keeping real systems running. It grew from a frustration shared by engineers everywhere: the tools needed to manage critical project history are often beyond the reach of smaller teams.

We believe industrial software should work with open standards and give teams the freedom to use the Git host that fits their organizational needs. That is how more people can understand, protect, and improve the systems they are trusted to maintain.
