Nolen Young

Founder

Nolen launched AXLE in 2016, building on technology he originally developed for the dental and medical industries. His goal was to eliminate disconnected platforms and create a centralized system with true cross-functionality, enabling synchronized, chain-reaction operations across products. Recognizing a gap in solutions for scaling multi-location businesses, he brought that vision to life and has grown it into a platform serving multiple sectors across 2,000+ businesses on six continents.

In addition to these team members, our company includes many behind-the-scenes experts dedicated to delivering the highest quality development and execution as efficiently and on time as possible.
