RAY-LANE Technologies

College Station, Texas

Software for schools and the people around them.

We build tools that let a school district do something it already wants to do, without adding work to the people who are already stretched thinnest.

What we build

One product today. It does one thing properly.

We would rather ship one thing a district can trust than five it has to supervise. When we build the next one, it will be here too.

The Needs & Deeds Board

A giving board in your district's colours. A parent or a teacher asks for something a student needs; someone in your community buys that exact item and ships it to the campus. No money passes through the district, and no home address is collected from anyone.

What comes next

We are a new company and we are deliberately not pretending to be a suite. If you have a problem at your district that looks like ours — small, repetitive, and eating staff time that should go to students — we would genuinely like to hear about it.

How we build

The decisions we made before we wrote any code.

  • Staff are used as little as possible. If a design needs someone at a campus to click something for every request, it is the wrong design. A district with twenty thousand students has to run this with the people it already has.
  • Nothing is installed on your systems. No software, no plugin, no server access, nothing for your IT team to review or patch. You add a link on your website so families can find it; that is the whole technical footprint.
  • No money moves through us. Community members buy from the retailer directly. We take an annual licence from the district and nothing else.
  • We collect the least we can get away with. No home addresses, anywhere, from anyone. No student names on anything public. Our own sales staff cannot reach a student record at all, and that is enforced by the database rather than by hiding a menu.
  • An outage is never recorded as a judgement about a child. If something on our side fails while a family's request is being checked, it is marked as our problem and retried — never as a decision about them.

We have no customers yet. We are talking to our first districts now, at an introductory rate, because the people who say yes early will shape what this becomes. We would rather tell you that than imply otherwise and have you find out later.

Who we are

Two people, and you can reach either of us.

Ray-Lane Technologies was founded in November 2026 and is owned equally by the two of us. There is no support queue to get lost in.

Colton Morman

Builds and runs it

Colton writes the software, runs the deployments and answers anything technical. He also runs a small nonprofit that gets shoes to children who need them, which is where the hard lessons behind this product came from — how families actually ask for help, what school staff will and will not do, and what goes wrong.

Byron Mireles

Talks to districts

Byron handles the conversations: the first call, the walkthrough, pricing and the agreement. If you want to see what this would look like with your district's name on it, he is the one who will show you.

Ask us anything, including the awkward questions.

Privacy, data handling, what happens if we go away — those are the right things to ask a new vendor, and we would rather answer them early than at the end.
