Does everything in your company run through you?

Do you feel like nothing gets done unless you're involved?

That's what we fix.

Sound Familiar?

The Pains Every
Manufacturer Knows

📞

You're the Last Filter

Every customer issue, every production question, every decision — it flows through you. You're running the business and fighting fires at the same time.

📊

No Real-Time Visibility

You don't know what's happening on the floor right now. You find out about problems when they're already costing you money.

🤖

AI Is Overwhelming

You know you need it. You've looked at it. There are a thousand online options and none of them feel built for a manufacturer like you.

🔧

Systems Don't Talk

Your shop management software, your email, your CRM — they all live in separate islands. Nobody's connected the dots.

The Process

Up & Running in
6 Weeks. Flat.

We do the heavy lifting. You show up for three meetings and get back to running your business.

01

Free AI Readiness Assessment

We come to you. 45 minutes. We map your current systems, understand how information flows in your business, and identify exactly where AI will have the biggest impact. No charge, no obligation.

02

We Build Your System

Our team connects your existing software, configures your AI chief of staff, and sets up your president's daily digest and dashboard. You need about 2 hours of your time total during this phase.

03

Go Live & Train Your Team

We walk you and your key people through the system. Most presidents are using it independently within a day. It's designed to feel natural — not like learning software.

04

We Stay With You

AI moves fast. We maintain your system monthly, update it as new capabilities emerge, and are a local phone call away when you need something. You never deal with a help desk.

Real World Example

From Phone Call to
Resolved. In Minutes.

Scenario

Customer Calls With a Defect Issue

📱
You hang up the phone and send one voice message

"Acme Industries has a weld defect on order #4821. Loop in Dave in engineering and make sure someone follows up tomorrow morning."

The system acts immediately — automatically

Case logged in your system. Dave notified. Follow-up task created for 9am tomorrow. Confirmation sent back to you in 30 seconds.

☀️
Tomorrow morning you see it in your daily digest

"Acme Industries defect case — resolved by Dave at 11:15am. Customer confirmed satisfied. No further action needed."

You never sent a single email or made a follow-up call

The loop closed itself. That's what it feels like when your business has an AI chief of staff.

Who We Are

Local People.
Real Accountability.

We started MFG Edge AI because we watched too many manufacturers get sold software they couldn't use by people they'd never meet again.

We're local. When something breaks, you call us — not a help desk in another state. When AI evolves (and it evolves fast), we update your system before you even notice something changed.

We don't sell you new software. We connect what you already have and make it work harder for you. We've done implementations on everything from modern cloud systems to shops running on spreadsheets and gut instinct. We've yet to walk away because of a client's tech stack.

Our goal is simple: the president of your company should wake up every morning knowing exactly what happened overnight, what needs a decision today, and what the team is already handling. Everything else is noise.

Local First

We shake your hand. We visit your floor. We're accountable to you in person.

No Rip & Replace

We work with your existing systems. You don't need to buy new software.

Always Current

AI moves fast. Your monthly retainer keeps your system on the cutting edge.

Real Results

We measure success by what the president stops having to do manually.
