Dolphin Software

Dolphin Software isn't your mother, but it does make cleaning up after yourself a little easier. The company's software allows users to record and track chemicals -- from simple cleaning supplies to toxic stuff -- used and stored at their facilities. Clients use it to manage inventory, perform hazard and environmental reporting, and share regulatory compliance. Customers have included Bell Helicopters Textron, Carnival Cruise Lines, Cessna Aircraft Company, and Nike. Dolphin also offers related professional services such as consulting, support, training, and maintenance. The company was acquired by IHS in March 2008
