IT Support for Manufacturing / Distribution

Networks, scanners, and systems that keep Long Island shops and warehouses shipping.

Downtime Is Lost Production

In an office, a down PC is annoying. On a floor, a down scan gun, ERP session, or label printer is idle labor and missed trucks. We manage the technology that production and fulfillment actually stand on.

What Shops and Warehouses Struggle With

Office and floor on one fragile network
Accounting PCs, cameras, Wi-Fi scanners, and a CNC PC should not hang off one retail router.
Scanners and label printers nobody owns
When a Zebra dies at 4 p.m., shipping stops. That device needs to be inventoried and replaceable.
Legacy software that still runs the business
Old ERP and Windows versions vendors will not touch. End-of-life software is a ransomware issue.
No spare for the person who built it
One technician who knows the share mappings and firewall rules is a single point of failure.
