IT Services for Manufacturing, Warehousing & Distribution
ERP uptime, OT/IT segmentation, and warehouse Wi-Fi for Southern Nevada manufacturers and distributors.
Production floors, warehouses, and distribution centers cannot pause for IT. We design the networks, ERP support, and OT/IT security that keeps orders shipping.
Manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution live and die by two things: the ERP and the network on the production or warehouse floor. When either fails, orders don't ship — and every hour of unshipped orders shows up in the P&L.
We support light manufacturing, contract manufacturers, food and beverage producers, and 3PL / distribution operations across the Southern Nevada industrial corridor (Henderson, North Las Vegas, and the industrial parks off I-15). Our work covers ERP hosting and uptime, floor and warehouse Wi-Fi that actually holds barcode scanners, OT/IT network segmentation, and security posture that customer audits are asking about.
How the operation runs
Planning, warehouse, and shop floor connected
ERP, warehouse scanning, and shop-floor systems share the same backbone — segmented so an office incident cannot stop production.
Daily operational workflows
- 1Shift start: ERP is up, warehouse Wi-Fi is holding scanners across every aisle, printers are online, and the day's production and shipping schedule is loaded.
- 2Receiving: inbound POs are scanned, checked against ERP, and put away with directed put-away logic.
- 3Production: work orders release, MES or manual routings track progress, and quality data is captured at the station.
- 4Picking and shipping: wave picking or discrete picking on RF scanners, packing verified, labels and BOLs printed, and shipments confirmed to the ERP and to the carrier.
- 5End-of-day: cycle counts reconcile, EDI transmissions confirm, backups verify.
Business & technology challenges
Dropped scanner signal in the warehouse
Racking, product density, and reflective surfaces destroy Wi-Fi. We do proper active surveys, not guessed AP placement.
OT / production PCs on the office network
PLCs, HMIs, and label printers on the same VLAN as email is a ransomware invitation. We segment properly with jump hosts and firewalls.
EDI failures at 5 p.m.
Trading-partner EDI drops that nobody noticed until the retailer chargebacks arrive. We monitor and alert on transmission health.
Aging ERP host
SAP B1, Epicor, Infor, or SYSPRO on an under-sized on-prem server. We modernize on-prem or migrate to cloud.
Compliance considerations
SOC 2 and customer audits
Enterprise customers audit their suppliers. We prepare the environment and documentation.
CMMC for DoD-adjacent suppliers
Suppliers to DoD primes face CMMC 2.0. We handle the technical controls.
FDA 21 CFR Part 11 (food/pharma)
Electronic records and signatures — access control, audit trails, and validation.
PCI-DSS for direct-to-consumer channels
If you sell direct online, PCI applies to the cardholder data flow.
Industry software we support
NetSuite ERP
Cloud ERP tuning, SuiteScript deployments, and integration health.
SAP Business One
Hosting, HANA sizing, and add-on management.
Epicor / Infor / SYSPRO
Server sizing, upgrade planning, and integration monitoring.
Zebra / Honeywell handheld scanners
Provisioning, WLAN tuning, and MDM.
WMS platforms (HighJump, 3PL Central, ShipHero)
Integration to ERP and shipping carriers, and warehouse Wi-Fi tuning.
Cybersecurity risks unique to this industry
Ransomware on the ERP or file server
Encrypting the ERP database is an existence-level event. Immutable, off-site backups and EDR everywhere.
OT compromise via IT pivot
PLCs on flat networks get owned during ransomware. Segmentation is the fix.
EDI credential theft
Trading-partner credentials in email get harvested. We move to secret storage and MFA-fronted VANs where possible.
Vendor / supplier BEC
Fake invoice and banking-change fraud in AP. Banner rules and out-of-band verification.
IT / OT boundary at a glance
Technology recommendations
Site-survey the warehouse Wi-Fi
Real active surveys with racking loaded — not empty-warehouse guesses. Then AP placement, channel plan, and QoS for scanners.
Segment OT from IT
Dedicated VLANs, firewalls between zones, and jump-host access to HMIs and PLCs. No production PC on the same broadcast domain as email.
Modernize ERP hosting
Right host, right SQL/HANA sizing, right backup — on-prem or cloud.
Monitor EDI transmissions
Alerting on failed EDI so nothing dies silently.
Business continuity & disaster recovery
ERP RPO/RTO
For most producers we design toward 1-hour RPO and 4-hour RTO on the ERP, with rehearsed cutover to a warm DR environment.
Warehouse-Wi-Fi resilience
Redundant controllers, PoE, and uplinks so a single switch failure doesn't idle the pickers.
Cellular failover on the office and shipping side
LTE/5G failover ensures shipping labels keep printing when the ISP dies.
How the engagement runs
Cloud, remote work & AI opportunities
Cloud ERP migration
NetSuite, cloud SAP, or hosted Epicor — sized for peak season and integrated to the shop floor.
Warehouse automation and MES
Barcode, RFID, and simple MES layered on top of ERP. We handle networking, identity, and integrations.
AI in demand planning and QC
Vision-based QC and AI forecasting are landing. We handle the integration and governance.

ExploreFrequently asked questions
Can you fix our warehouse Wi-Fi that drops scanners?
Yes. We do full active site surveys with racking loaded, then redesign AP placement, channel plan, and QoS so scanners hold connection across every aisle.
Do you support NetSuite, SAP Business One, Epicor, and Infor?
Yes. We support the environment, integrations, and identity these platforms depend on and coordinate with the vendor or partner on application-level tickets.
Can you segment our production network from our office network?
Yes. We design VLANs, firewall zones, and jump-host access to isolate OT from IT so a ransomware event on office endpoints does not reach PLCs and HMIs.
