Colorado & SoCal manufacturers · fixed-fee IT

Manufacturing IT that keeps ERP, drawings, and the shop floor working — fixed fee, audit-ready.

Free Manufacturing IT Risk Audit. We map the shop-floor and ERP failure points that cost you downtime, scrap, audit findings, or lost drawings — and hand you a written plan you keep either way.

No charge. No obligation. If the audit isn’t specific and useful for your plant, we don’t pitch — we apologize and walk.

  • Shop floor + ERP
  • Drawings at the machine
  • CMMC · ISO · ITAR
  • We help CAMA manufacturers

The only fixed-fee manufacturing MSP that runs ERP-aware IT, kills paper drawing chaos with a shop-floor drawing + QR system, and brings AI to ops — built by a team that actually helps CAMA manufacturers, not generic helpdesks.

Sound familiar?

Most of our clients aren’t chasing gadgets. They’re trying to ship product without IT becoming the bottleneck.

The network “just works”… until it doesn’t

Printers drop mid-pick. VPN flops for remote accountants. Nobody’s sure if last night’s backup finished.

ERP is critical — and fragile

Epicor, SAP, Dynamics, Sage, and the rest need stable infrastructure, sane permissions, and recovery plans that match how the plant actually runs.

Drawings everywhere, answers nowhere

Paper prints on the floor go stale. The “current” file lives in three folders and one person’s laptop. Revisions become tribal knowledge.

How the promise shows up on the floor

Proof under the offer — not a gadget catalog. Managed IT is the spine; drawings, AI, and compliance are how we keep plants shipping.

Managed IT for the whole site

Proactive monitoring, patching, and unlimited support so your team isn’t the after-hours helpdesk — fixed monthly fee.

ERP-aware infrastructure

We stabilize and support the plant systems your VAR implements. Networks, servers, and permissions shaped around inventory, MRP, and accounting.

Cloud & secure remote access

Hosted desktops and remote workflows for controllers, estimators, and multi-site teams — without opening the plant to the world.

Backup & disaster recovery

Verified backups and a recovery path you can explain to a COO in one sentence.

AI embedded in ops — not a toy SKU

Fewer fire drills and faster answers for the floor: document search, ops assistants, and workflow automation on systems you already trust.

Drawings always at the machine

Our drawing + QR system: scan the job or traveler, open the approved revision — stop hunting binders and network folders.

Paper drawings & network scavenger hunts — fixed

One proof point under the Risk Audit: drawings always at the machine, never lost on the network.

Wrong print on the floor

Operators work from a binder that was current last quarter. Scrap, rework, and “who approved this?” follow.

Files scattered everywhere

Drawings live on shares, email, USB sticks, and personal drives. Nobody agrees which PDF is the source of truth.

QR → current revision

Tag the job, machine, or traveler. One scan opens the approved drawing — controlled, findable, ready for the floor.

CMMC, ISO, and ITAR expertise

Defense and regulated manufacturers need IT partners who already speak the control language — not a crash course after the audit letter arrives. Consultants assess; we own remediation and ongoing posture as fixed-fee managed IT.

CMMC

Practical guidance: scoping, controls that stick on the shop floor, and evidence your team can maintain.

ISO

Align systems and processes so security and quality aren’t two different stories for two auditors.

ITAR

Protect export-controlled data and workflows — access, storage, remote work, vendors — without freezing the plant.

We help local manufacturers through CAMA

Trust signal, not a logo farm: we’re the IT team that helps CAMA — the local manufacturing association — so shops in the community get technology support that understands manufacturing.

Member-minded perk in the works: complimentary Risk Audit path for CAMA shops (pipeline detail with launch).

Who this is for (and who it isn’t)

For you if…

  • Manufacturer or distributor roughly $1M–$100M+
  • Shop floor + ERP (Epicor, SAP, Dynamics, Sage, or similar)
  • Tired of paper drawings / network file scavenger hunts
  • Facing or preparing for CMMC, ISO, or ITAR scrutiny
  • Want one accountable IT partner on a fixed fee — not ticket roulette

Not for you if…

  • Pure office / SaaS with no plant floor
  • Looking for cheapest break-fix or hourly firefighting
  • Want a gadget demo, not outcomes for uptime, audits, and drawings
  • Need a full ERP implementation partner (we stabilize and support; we don’t replace your VAR)

What clients notice

“The shift in vendors went seamlessly — and the network finally feels managed instead of reactive.”

Finance leader · manufacturing client

“They dig until there’s a real answer — and they explain it in language the plant and the front office both understand.”

Director of IT · $70M+ Denver manufacturer

“Cloud access means quotes and files travel with the team — without babysitting an on-site server.”

Operations & realty clients

Your Free Manufacturing IT Risk Audit ends with a written plan you keep either way. It ranks what can take the shop floor, ERP, drawings, or an audit offline — and the fixed-fee path to fix it.

Executive summary

Top risks in plain ops language — downtime, scrap, audit findings, lost drawings.

Scope covered

Network & endpoints, ERP connectivity (Epicor/SAP/Dynamics/Sage/etc.), drawing/file chaos, CMMC/ISO/ITAR-ready gaps.

Ranked risk list

Severity × likelihood, tagged fix this week / this quarter / later.

Remediation map

Recommended fixes tied to outcomes: uptime, audit readiness, drawings at the machine.

Fixed-fee next step (optional)

Managed IT proposal only if it’s a fit — no obligation to buy.

Score your plant in 5 minutes

Dan Sullivan–style scorecards: pick the statement that fits now for each row (1–12), optionally score next. Bring the totals to your Free Risk Audit — the low rows become the plan.

Manufacturing IT Readiness

Uptime, ERP spine, drawings, backups, shop-floor cyber, support accountability, compliance signal, and future capability — eight rows that show where IT multiplies the plant vs. where it burns time.

Open Manufacturing IT Scorecard

CMMC Readiness

Scope (FCI/CUI), identity, hardening, evidence habits, incident response, vendors, leadership ownership, and continuous monitoring — a readiness signal, not a certification claim.
