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
