Our mission
Stability plus innovation
Moss and Spark means stability plus innovation. Moss is your proven foundation: the people, relationships, judgment, and trust that already make your business work. Spark is the AI, automation, and custom software that help that foundation move faster.
Moss
Your proven foundation
The stable, human-first core that helps your company thrive.
Spark
AI that moves you forward
Automation and AI innovation that reduce busywork without replacing your judgment.
Moss & Spark was founded by a mechanical engineer with 15 years in industrial equipment and energy — we've lived the workflows we automate, so the tools we build actually fit the work.
Our mission is to help human-first companies adopt AI confidently, using focused, dependable tools that preserve what makes their work valuable.
Featured work
Built for real workflows
Built by Moss & Spark
Rapid RUSLE
Erosion risk, automated.
Rapid RUSLE is a Moss & Spark-built product for a recurring environmental workflow: structured project inputs, configured erosion calculations, and a consistent report draft that a qualified consultant reviews before use.
Internal automation
Lead Intake Automation
From inquiry to CRM handoff.
We automated our own lead intake path so website inquiries are captured once, routed into HubSpot, forwarded through n8n, and tracked with attribution and portal visibility instead of manual copy-paste.
Wondering which of these your firm needs first? See the three workflows we pilot. ↓
