Bay City, Michigan
Managed IT
Your day-to-day technology, handled: networks, security, backups and the Microsoft 365 tenant nobody in the office wants to own.
- A number a real person answers
- Patching and backups you never think about
- Budget planning before things break
Managed IT & Software Development · Bay City, MI
IT that stays out of your way.
Software that fits how you work.
We do two things for Great Lakes Bay Region businesses: keep the systems you already depend on running quietly, and build the tools you cannot buy off the shelf.
- Local to Bay City
- Same-day support response
- No multi-year lock-in
Two ways we help
Keep it running, or build something new
Most shops do one or the other. Doing both means the software we write is built by the same people who will have to support it at eight on a Monday morning.
Custom Software
When the spreadsheet stops scaling and the off-the-shelf product does not fit, we design and build the thing that does — then keep it maintained afterward.
- Internal tools, portals and web apps
- Integrations between systems that do not talk
- Fixed-scope phases, not open-ended billing
Track 01
Managed IT services
Covered under a flat monthly agreement, so a bad week for your network is not also a surprise invoice. Pick the whole stack or just the pieces you are missing.
AI Consulting & Enablement
Assisting employees with AI integration and providing training on AI tools. We help you identify where AI can genuinely save time and money or where it might be a distraction.
Networks & Wi-Fi
Switching, firewalls, VLANs and wireless that reaches the whole shop floor — designed, installed and monitored instead of pieced together.
Cybersecurity & Backup
Endpoint protection, multi-factor authentication, phishing training and tested restores. The unglamorous work that decides how bad a bad day gets.
Microsoft 365 & Cloud
Email, Teams, SharePoint and license cleanup, plus migrations off aging on-premise servers when it actually saves you money.
Hardware & Procurement
Spec, source, image and deploy workstations, servers and phones — with a refresh schedule so machines get replaced on plan, not on failure.
IT Planning & vCIO
A quarterly sit-down covering what is aging out, what it will cost and what is worth doing next year. Technology decisions in plain business terms.
Not sure what you already have? Ask us for a network assessment — no charge, no obligation.
Track 02
Custom software & web development
Scoped in phases with a fixed price for each one. You see working software early and decide whether the next phase is worth it.
Business Applications
Quoting, scheduling, inventory and job tracking built around your actual process instead of forcing the process into someone else’s product.
Websites & Web Apps
Fast, accessible sites that load on a phone in a parking lot — and customer portals behind them when a brochure page is not enough.
Integrations & Automation
Get your accounting, CRM and shop-floor systems passing data to each other so nobody is retyping the same order into three screens.
Data & Reporting
Dashboards that answer the questions you actually ask on Monday, pulled from the systems you already run rather than a fresh pile of manual entry.
Legacy Modernization
That Access database or twenty-year-old VB tool the business still runs on — moved to something supportable, without losing the logic inside it.
Support & Iteration
Software is not finished when it ships. We stay on for hosting, fixes and the changes you only discover once people are using it.
Have something in mind? Tell us the problem — the first conversation is scoping, not sales.
Featured project
AquaTrack: RFID and GPS tracking for your aquaculture operations
A compete solution built for shellfish aquaculture. A rugged boat mounted unit reads RFID tags on clams, oysters, scallops, and and any other static sea farmed mollusks as your boat checks on each lease, and records which tags were seen, where, when and what the observed status was with real buttons that do not inhibit work.
A Raspberry Pi in a waterproof case runs the whole system: a RFID reader, a differential GPS receiver and a touchscreen for set up. Four programmable metal buttons on the case allow you to digitally mark the tag with no typing and no disruption to work flow.
- Error checking to ensure accurate readings
- Places every read on the correct lease.
- Maps each lease, its tags and the boat’s position, and works offline on the water
- Syncs data with a web app for comprehensive reporting and analysis
How we work
Four steps, no mystery
The same path whether you are handing us your network or a blank page.
-
01
Assess
We walk your systems or your workflow and write down what is actually there — including the parts nobody documented.
-
02
Propose
You get a plain-language plan with a price next to each piece, and an honest note about what can wait.
-
03
Build or onboard
We do the work in phases with a checkpoint at the end of each, so nothing runs quietly over budget.
-
04
Support
Then we stay. Monitoring, updates and a standing quarterly review of what is next.
