Tailored IT Solutions by Manufacturing Specialty
Discrete/Make-to-Order Manufacturing & Direct-to-Consumer
Your Challenges:
- Custom orders mean no margin for error.
One delay and you're retooling an entire line or fielding angry emails
from consumers.
- D2C selling brings exposure—your systems
are now customer-facing, and one data leak could tarnish your hard-won
reputation.
- Your ERP and scheduling tools feel like
duct tape and prayer.
Our Solutions:
- We provide the infrastructure to
successfully modernize your ERP and MRP systems, tailored to fit your
exact workflows, eliminating the need for workarounds or late-night Excel
gymnastics.
- We shore up your cybersecurity, so
customers feel confident clicking "buy now" and your team sleeps better at
night.
- We deliver systems that scale, flex, and
support you whether you're shipping 12 or 12,000 units.
Benefits:
- Fewer production hiccups and less
scrambling. Your team plans better—and breathes easier.
- Customers trust your brand, not just
your product.
- You move from reactive to ready, with IT
that feels like a safety net, not a stressor.
High-Tech/Biologics Manufacturing (Compliance-Focused)
Your Challenges:
- You're juggling FDA guidelines, ISO
standards, and clinical-grade expectations—missing a step isn't an option.
- Your data must be secure, traceable, and
accessible during an audit with zero finger-pointing.
- You're often the bridge between quality
control, IT, and finance—without enough time or help.
Our Solutions:
- We implement zero-trust environments
built for life sciences—where every click is logged and every system is
validated.
- We facilitate compliance documentation,
so your next audit isn't a panic-inducing spreadsheet.
- We speak both compliance and IT—so you
don't have to translate between departments.
Benefits:
- You feel in control, not cornered by
complexity.
- Your next audit prep is a checklist, not
a crisis.
You become the strategic partner your leadership team relies on—because your systems are rock-solid and inspection-ready.
Repetitive/Automotive Manufacturing (Supply Chain Protection and Customer-Based Security)
Your Challenges:
- You depend on global suppliers, and one
bad actor in the chain could shut you down or tank a customer
relationship.
- You're fielding pressure from customers
to hit compliance checklists you didn't create—but now own.
- You can't afford a line halt due to a
ransomware attack or a vendor system going offline.
Our Solutions:
- We map your digital supply chain and implement controls to
prevent threats from spreading.
- We help you meet your customers'
cybersecurity demands—without disrupting your own production.
- We run disaster recovery drills like your
future depends on it—because it does.
Benefits:
- Your customers trust you with their
business—and keep coming back.
- You stop losing sleep over a supplier's
sloppy IT.
- You become the strong link in the chain,
not the vulnerable one.
Defense Contractors
Your Challenges:
- You're under a microscope—CMMC, NIST,
DFARS—all with shifting rules and serious consequences.
- You hold sensitive data that can't
afford a "we'll fix it later" attitude.
- You're expected to stay compliant and
secure without turning your shop floor into a surveillance state.
Our Solutions:
- We build secure enclaves and segmented
networks that meet DoD and prime contractor standards.
- We prepare you for every audit with NIST
and CMMC gap analysis, remediation plans, and documentation that holds up.
- We provide continuous monitoring so
you're not caught off guard.
Benefits:
- You keep contracts—and stay off the
watchlist.
- You're ready for audits, not racing to
fix issues the night before.
You protect what matters most—your reputation, your people, and your mission-critical
