Read moreYou hire senior. You get senior.
The large professional-services firms sell you senior expertise and staff the work with juniors. That's not how we run. When you hire us, the engineers who scoped your project are the same ones building and supporting it.
- Direct access to senior engineers
No account manager layer between you and the people writing tickets and scripts. When something breaks, you're talking to whoever built it.
- Deep on Esko and HYBRID, fluent across the rest
Senior implementation experience on Automation Engine and Cloudflow — plus the MIS, ERP, competing RIPs, and automation glue (Enfocus Switch, Prinergy, Pace, Avanti, Label Traxx, Cerm, NetSuite, JDE) that prepress has to talk to every day.
- Pricing that reflects reality
Engagements typically land 20–35% below large professional-services firms, because we aren't funding a pyramid of billable time above the work.
A process built around not surprising you.
Four stages, in the order you'd expect. Each one ends with something concrete you can read, review, or push back on before we move forward.
- 01
Discovery
A free call to understand your shop, your stack, and the specific problem you want solved. No pitch deck, no rehearsed script.
- 02
Assessment
We audit what exists, document the gaps, and scope a realistic engagement with pricing. You get the assessment whether you hire us or not.
- 03
Implementation
Build, configure, script, and integrate — with your operators and admins in the loop the whole way. No surprise go-live.
- 04
Support
We stay reachable after cutover. Retainer, block hours, or on-call — whatever matches how your shop actually operates.
Tell us what's broken. We'll tell you what it takes to fix it.
Free 30-minute discovery call. No sales deck, no obligation — just a conversation with someone who's seen your stack before.
