Built for the floor
When the WMS goes down, the whole floor stops.
Warehouses and 3PLs run on systems a general-purpose "IT guy" never prices in — the WMS, the handheld scanners, the EDI feed to your trading partners. Here's what we actually cover, and every one of these is inside the flat rate.
Your WMS can't stall mid-shift
Hosted WMS or a database on a box in the back — a hang mid-shift means pickers standing still and trucks waiting at the dock. We monitor the server, the database host, and the network path, patch on a schedule, and keep the disruptive maintenance off your shipping windows.
Scanners that hold signal in every aisle
Barcode and RFID handhelds are only as good as the wireless behind them. Dead zones at the back of the racks or up on the mezzanine turn every scan into a re-scan. We design and manage floor-wide coverage so a handheld works in aisle 40 the same as it does at receiving.
A broken EDI feed is a missed shipment
Your trading partners run on EDI — 856 ASNs, 940/945 warehouse orders, 810 invoices. When a feed silently breaks, you don't find out until the chargeback lands. We watch the connections and the maps so a dropped document gets caught before it turns into a compliance penalty.
Run the math on a stalled shift
A floor that goes idle for an hour isn't down one hour of pay — it's the pickers, the loaders, the trucks on the schedule, and every order that misses its cutoff. One tested backup and a same-day response turn a floor-down event into a hiccup instead of a lost shift.
Automation for exceptions, not spreadsheets
Threshold alerts when stock runs low, exception notifications when a shipment stalls, morning summaries instead of morning report-pulling. We wire the automation into your existing WMS and Workspace — small, boring, reliable wins that add up to hours a week. More on our AI services →
Per workstation
What every workstation gets — for $125 flat.
One rate. No security "add-on," no backup "upgrade," no after-hours meter. Everything below is already in the number.
Unlimited support
Nights, weekends, and every shift — you call, we answer, no hourly meter ever.
Endpoint detection & response
Behavior-based EDR on every machine — not signature antivirus.
Backup & disaster recovery
Continuous, ransomware-resistant backup with restores we actually test.
Firewall & network — managed
We spec the gear; you buy it at our cost. Monitoring, firmware, and policy are on us.
Same-day response SLA
Every ticket gets a same-day response — written into the agreement, not just promised.
On-site onboarding
We come to your facility, document everything, and fix the obvious in week one.
Firewall and network are fully managed — but hardware is never included. We recommend the right gear and send the links; you buy it at our cost, zero markup. Backup and after-hours support are subject to fair use; unusually large datasets add storage billed at cost.
The cheaper quote isn't cheaper.
A typical Houston walk-up rate looks lower because it leaves out the things a distribution floor actually needs. Add them back and the gap closes fast — before anyone touches the after-hours meter.
Our number is $125/workstation — after-hours included, locked for your term. See the full walk-up-quote math →
Common questions
What does managed IT cost for a warehouse or 3PL?
$125 per workstation per month, with everything on this page included. Servers are $275/month. Software licenses and any hardware are billed at our cost with zero markup. Three-workstation minimum, twelve-month initial term. Project work — WMS migrations, facility moves, new-dock buildouts — is quoted separately in writing, never slipped into the monthly.
What happens when the floor goes down at 5am before the first truck?
You call, we answer, and no timer starts. Unlimited support includes after-hours, nights, and weekends under fair use — support consistent with normally running an operation your size. The same-day response SLA applies to every ticket, peak season or not. Project work is still project work.
Can you support our WMS and EDI if you didn't build them?
Yes. We manage the infrastructure they run on — the server, the database host, the network, and the wireless — plus the EDI connections and mappings. When the fault is inside the WMS or EDI application itself, we coordinate directly with your software vendor and stay on it until it's resolved. Our job is to keep the plumbing reliable so the app stays up.
Do you cover the wireless across the whole warehouse?
Yes — floor-wide coverage is part of network management. We survey for dead zones, spec the access points for the racks, the mezzanine, and the dock (you buy the hardware at our cost, zero markup), and monitor signal so handhelds hold their connection in every aisle instead of dropping mid-pick.
