IT, data and automation for manufacturers
Get more from the systems you already run.
I help manufacturers with 50 to 500 staff cut manual work, see their numbers clearly, and deliver IT projects in weeks instead of quarters.

Yearly ERP vendor spend, 2023 to 2026 (2026 is an estimate), by bringing custom work in-house.
What I help with
ERP and enterprise systems
Upgrades, integrations and vendor management for the system that runs your plant and your books. I prove changes on a small scale first, then roll them out.
Data and BI
Power BI, Fabric and SQL set up so everyone works from the same trusted numbers, with your team trained to build and maintain their own reports.
AI and automation
Practical automation and AI-assisted development with safeguards: version control, read-only access to core systems, and staff who know how to use it.
IT strategy, vendors and budgets
A clear plan, a budget you can defend, and vendor contracts that match what you actually use.
Project delivery and process
A lightweight way to scope, prioritize and finish IT projects so they close in weeks and the backlog stops growing.
Ways to work together
Every engagement starts with a conversation. We pick the format that fits afterward.
Project
A defined outcome with a clear scope and finish line, such as a data environment, an upgrade or an automation.
Ongoing support
A regular block of time to keep a system or team moving: fixes, improvements and a person to call.
Fractional IT lead
Part-time IT leadership: priorities, vendors, budget and people, without a full-time hire.
Not sure which fits? Start a conversation and we will work it out.
How it starts
- We talk. You describe the problem. I ask questions. No pitch.
- I scope it. You get a short written plan with the outcome, the approach and the effort.
- We decide. If it fits, we start. If not, you keep the plan.
