20 years of helping businesses gain a competitive edge.

For Marc Terrien, one of the highlights of being a business owner is seeing the way that his company can help others. As president and owner of Thin Air Web, he loves seeing how clients can leverage technology to make their businesses run smoother, faster, and better. Whether it’s a new website to improve their digital presence or custom business software that gives them a competitive edge, Thin Air Web has helped businesses achieve more for 20 years.

When Thin Air Web acquired its custom cloud software business, it inherited a proud history of software written in Adobe ColdFusion. While software development has changed dramatically over the past two decades, one thing hasn’t changed: reliance on ColdFusion. “We didn’t start out as ColdFusion developers,” Terrien says. “But the more we used it, the more we realized we didn’t need anything else. ColdFusion has been our go-to for everything ever since.”

Combining high stability, fast development, and a rich feature set, ColdFusion offers everything that Thin Air Web developers need to create sophisticated productivity and enterprise-scale systems for logistics, manufacturing, real estate, and more. “We’ve developed extensive solutions using ColdFusion software, contributing to significant revenue growth and technical innovation,” says Terrien.

Stable applications that keep the country moving.

Reliability and stability are critical for any organization running an enterprise system. For Thin Air Web developers, there isn’t a second choice for mission-critical applications. They will always choose ColdFusion.

“There’s a reason ColdFusion runs most of the credit unions and many government enterprises in the United States,” says Terrien. “ColdFusion’s ability to run complex enterprise systems with minimal maintenance allows our developers to focus on innovation rather than navigating obstacles.”

Thin Air Web’s applications power high-volume businesses that move millions of dollars weekly. One of the company’s flagship clients, NavigatorTMS, is a leading U.S. provider of transportation management software solutions, supporting logistics for 3rd party logistics and trucking companies of all sizes. Built entirely on ColdFusion and hosted on xByte Cloud, the NavigatorTMS platform is mission-critical—any downtime risks widespread shipping delays. Thin Air Web ensures performance, scalability, and reliability to meet the industry’s evolving demands.

“Thin Air Web took our tool from a concept on a napkin to an enterprise-level system that became our entire business model,” says Stephen Wineriter, President & CEO of NavigatorTMS. “It’s stable, updates are turned around quickly, and communication is always consistent. I wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else.”

“The features baked into ColdFusion cover 99% of my development needs. If something isn’t native, I can easily pull in a Java library and keep going.”

Fast development, innovative applications.

For Thin Air Web developers, ColdFusion excels for its speed and built-in features. Developers can skip wireframing and make prototypes functional for demos because basic functions can be implemented as fast as writing the HTML.

Over the years, the ColdFusion feature set has continued to evolve, eliminating the need for third-party plugins or extensive integration work. Thin Air Web regularly uses built-in functions such as cfftp and cfhttp for remote connections, cfdocument and cfhtmltopdf for PDF generation, and cfspreadsheet to handle user data.

“The features baked into ColdFusion cover 99% of my development needs,” says Andy Urban, developer at Thin Air Web. “If something isn’t native, I can easily pull in a Java library and keep going.”

With developers spending less time wrestling with code, they can focus on delivering innovative software to clients faster. One U.S. oil and gas manufacturer uses a custom in-house production management system created by Thin Air Web and integrated with SAP to run four remote locations. An elevator manufacturer uses a custom application to generate quotes and manage projects. Clients also work with Thin Air Web for everything from online training and certification systems to managing property listing feeds for the real estate market.

“We have international businesses that run millions of dollars per week on software that we’ve built for them,” says Terrien. “All of that is thanks to ColdFusion.”

“We couldn’t do everything we do without ColdFusion, and that’s really the bottom line.”

Looking to the future with ColdFusion.

Thin Air Web developers also work with Adobe Creative Cloud apps to bring life to website or software designs, including UI elements created with Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator.

The company uses both Creative Cloud and ColdFusion for the same reason: they continue to evolve and get better over time. Thin Air Web is currently migrating its systems to ColdFusion 2025, anticipating improvements in charting and data-visualization tools.

To Terrien, the endurance of ColdFusion comes down to one thing: it works. “ColdFusion continues to evolve, adding to its great toolbox while maintaining speed and stability,” says Terrien. “We couldn’t do everything we do without ColdFusion, and that’s really the bottom line.”
