About
How This Started
InPoint Automation was co-founded by Michael and Dominika. Between us we've got West Point, a dental laboratory, a master's in automation and robotics, and a track record of getting things done.
Michael's background is military - West Point, then years as an officer before moving to Poland. Programming came later, picked up in 2020 as a post-army hobby writing shaders and mods for the video game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly. That turned into solving problems at the dental lab. His bachelor's was in foreign language, but the self-taught work was enough to earn a spot in an automation and robotics master's program - and to graduate with the highest possible result. The thesis laid the groundwork for some of InPoint's longer-term R&D, and the company followed shortly after.
Dominika grew up around entrepreneurship - her parents have been running a successful hardware store for nearly 35 years, and she grew up working in it. She studied to become a dental technician and was seriously injured in a gas explosion while still in school. She spent months in the hospital, came out stronger for it, and finished anyway. She went on to train and develop staff at another laboratory before opening her own. She brought that same experience into InPoint Automation - accounting, logistics, supplier relationships, and a lot of the strategic planning behind where the company goes next.
Shared entrepreneurial backgrounds, overlapping strengths, and the resilience to see things through - that's what makes InPoint Automation work.
What We Do
Our first public release was the KSeF module for Dolibarr. Poland rolled out KSeF - a national e-invoicing system. The API is open, but every integration we found either wanted money to wrap it or came bundled into an ERP you'd have to commit to before knowing if it fits. We were already running Dolibarr in the dental lab, so we wrote our own module and released it as FOSS. That's how we work - find a problem, build a solution, document it properly, share it if there's no reason not to
Right now we're building out logistics automations, working on our first in-house hardware product, and setting up an import line with custom labelling for events and weddings. The products side generates revenue and gives us a real-world testbed for the tools we're developing. The longer-term R&D pipeline is where things get more interesting, and we'll talk about those when they're closer to ready.
How We Think
Everything we ship, we use first. The KSeF module runs our invoicing. The logistics automations will handle our fulfilment before they ever touch a customer's. Doesn't go out the door if we wouldn't trust it in our own business.
We plan methodically. Understand the problem, develop options, stress-test them against what could actually go wrong, then commit to the best path and execute. We document as we go - clear SOPs, less tribal knowledge, easier to onboard someone new or hand something off.
We're lean right now because our major work is still in R&D, but the goal is to grow organically, off products that actually work. We're not interested in the common startup pump-and-dump of grabbing VC money, throwing something at the wall, and selling before it all comes crashing down.
The Real Beef
The Real Beef is InPoint's educational arm - blog and YouTube channel covering project builds, electronics, and how-to content. A lot of the engineering that becomes InPoint projects starts there.
The name comes from Angus - Angus Beef - a black lab with white spots who earned it.
