Managed IT Services for Manufacturing
Transform Downtime Into Dollars with IT That Keeps Your Manufacturing Floor Moving
Prevent IT Breakdowns That Could Cost Tens of
Thousands in Downtime
Your operations rely on your applications and hardware. If they fail, everything comes to a standstill. Machines sit idle, conveyor belts freeze, and workers stand by with nothing to do. The factory floor, usually buzzing with activity, falls silent as supervisors scramble to check error messages and frozen progress bars. Orders are delayed, and with every passing minute, the costs rise into the thousands. How can you avoid this nightmare?
The solution is prevention. Build a reliable IT environment where you anticipate and snuff out service outages before they happen. That’s what we do at Leverage IT. With our proactive services, you can count on your technology—making downtime a thing of the past. We’ve helped countless manufacturers over the years, and we’re ready to help you keep your operations running like a well-oiled machine.

When technology issues strike, every second counts. How your staff responds can be the difference between a few dollars in downtime and a few thousand. How can you prepare your staff to be ready?
Our best practice testing and alignment processes ensure your team knows how to effectively use all technologies they interact with on a daily-basis. And if they’re ever stumped by an issue, Leverage IT has an Engineer working to resolve your service request quickly, typically in under 8 minutes on Critical and High priority issues.
Integrate New Technology with Ease
Are your current systems struggling to keep up with capacity, performance, or delivery expectations? An upgrade is probably in order. But trying to navigate the technology selection, negotiation, and implementation process is a massive undertaking. Where do you begin? That’s where our Navigate Business Application Selection and Implementation service comes in.
We help you identify the best IT solutions to meet your business needs, offering support from the selection process all the way through implementation and staff training. What’s more, we ensure seamless migration to your new technologies with minimal disruption—offering the right training and tools to maximize performance, increase capacity, and drive your profits.
Optimize Your Wireless and Barcoding Systems for Peak Efficiency
Your wireless environment, barcoding, and printing systems are the backbone of your day-to-day operations. Workers rely on these systems to scan, store, and move products efficiently. But when coverage is poor or equipment fails, your workflow is disrupted, causing costly delays.
Our infrastructure management services ensure your wireless network is fully optimized and your barcoding and printing systems run smoothly. With our expert planning, installation, and maintenance services, we eliminate coverage gaps and keep your operations running without a hitch.
Managed Services for Manufacturers
While technology is essential to your operations, it’s also a drain on your time. You want to grow your company, but dealing with IT is a constant headache that seems to add little value. It’s time to change that. With over 20 years experience in technology, Leverage can optimize your IT across your entire organization. We handle everything—from data backup, patch management, system upgrades, and more—so you can focus on growing your business.
Cybersecurity for Manufacturers
For manufacturers, IoT devices and connected systems are prime targets for cyberattacks. A single breach can halt production, expose sensitive data, and trigger regulatory fines—potentially costing your company millions. Our security services ensure that the right protections are in place to manage and mitigate these risks. We provide comprehensive security solutions that safeguard your operations, from your wireless environment to critical systems, giving you peace of mind.

The truth is, not every manufacturing operation does. If your in-house IT team keeps your technology running smoothly, prevents downtime, and increases your profits, you’re probably doing just fine. However, if your IT is disjointed, causing frequent disruptions and serving as a cost center rather than a source of ROI, we can help.
While we strive to offer clear pricing details, it’s difficult for us to do so without knowing more about your business and technology challenges. We don’t offer out-of-the-box solutions. Pricing depends on your specific needs and the project scope, and can vary based on your business size, the amount of consulting required, the problems you need guidance with, and other factors.
Absolutely. We work with you to assess your current IT needs and develop a scalable plan to accommodate future growth. Whether building out your network infrastructure, adding new applications, or upgrading hardware, we plan and strategize with you to transform your goals into a reality.
