Built From Appliance Retail Experience
Appliance.io was built from firsthand experience inside appliance retail. What started as a way to solve real showroom, warehouse, delivery, and operations challenges became a platform shaped around how dealers actually work.

From the Showroom

Before Appliance.io
Retail runs deep. Jon, founder of Appliance.io, grew up inside Slyman Bros., a multi-generational appliance business. Appliance retail wasn’t a market opportunity. It was everyday life.
1965 - 1990s
The roots
Jon grew up in a family-run appliance business founded in 1965. Showroom floors, warehouse aisles, delivery routes, and customer conversations shaped his understanding of how independent retailers truly operate.
2000 - 2010s
The operator's eye
As he became more involved in the business, Jon gained firsthand insight into inventory coordination, pricing, logistics, and service workflows. He saw clearly that retail systems should reflect real operations, not the other way around.
2018
First lines of code
Jon began building software for his family’s appliance business. The goal wasn’t to “enter tech.” It was to solve real retail workflows from the inside.

One storefront in St. Louis. Two brothers. A focus on service and value. Over the next few decades, the family business grew into multiple locations, without losing its roots.
2000 - 2010s
Next generation, same values. Expanded showrooms, stronger regional roots, and a sharper focus on personalized service.

Jon began building software for his own family’s appliance business. The goal was simple: create tools that matched real operations.

Why We Started Building
