TMI / TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT AND INNOVATION
THE NEXT VERSION
OF THE COMPANY
YOU ALREADY BUILT.
We work inside established industrial companies to fix the systems underneath the business, automate manual work, capture what lives in people’s heads, build the technology that is missing, and create the attention that helps the company grow. Build the company that can run, grow, and outlive you.

We modernise legacy businesses for the digital economy.
Built for how business actually works now, not for the decade the company was founded in. We build intelligent companies.
START HERE
DOES ANY OF THIS
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Your team enters the same information more than once.
Nobody can tell you the margin on a job today.
The company runs on spreadsheets, texts, paper and memory.
Your best knowledge lives inside two or three people.
You bought software and the team works around it.
Your company is better than your website makes it look.
You want AI, but nobody can tell you honestly where it belongs.
Growth right now would create more chaos, not more margin.
You could not disappear for thirty days without being called.
If three or more of those are true, that is what we work on.

Make the company work better.
Operating systems, processes, business intelligence, AI, automation, custom software, digital employees and knowledge capture. The layer everything else depends on.

Buyers research long before they call, and more of them now ask an AI first. An operation nobody can find is not being considered, however good the work is.

An Embedded Company Partner executes alongside your team, keeps initiatives moving, surfaces friction, captures content and connects problems back to TMI. From $3,500 a month.

Most owners do not need another employee. They need the company to stop routing everything back to them — and that is also the first half of succession.

THE SAME COMPANY.
ONE OF THEM RUNS.
Left is how the information actually lives in most operations we walk into. Right is the same company once it has a system under it. Nothing was added to the business. The same knowledge was simply put somewhere it can be found.
Drag the handle, or use the arrow keys.
Neither side is about working harder. One of these companies can be handed to someone else. The other one cannot.
HOW COMPANIES START
FOUR WAYS IN.
ONE OF THEM IS FREE.
Free Intelligent Company Audit
FreeTwenty to thirty minutes. For an owner who knows something is wrong and is not sure what should happen first.
Book the audit →Focused Build
From $15,000For companies that already know what has to change — quoting, job tracking, reporting, CRM, automation, a customer portal, a knowledge system.
Explore builds →Intelligent Company Transformation
From $25,000Operations, technology, people and implementation together, usually run as a 90-day arc.
Explore transformation →Embedded Company Partner
From $3,500/moA TMI operator inside your business who helps execute, implements what gets built, and keeps improvements moving.
Explore Embedded →Those are starting points, not quotes. Everything is fixed scope and fixed price, agreed in writing before work begins. See how TMI pricing works →
TMI EMBEDDED COMPANY PARTNER
WHAT IF TMI
STAYED INSIDE THE COMPANY?
One person inside your business, the whole of TMI behind them. They help execute what matters, see where the company is stuck, connect those problems back to TMI, and help move the business toward better systems, more attention and more founder freedom. They are not an assistant. They are there to move the company forward.
REAL WORK
Operations, CRM, customer communication, SOPs, internal follow-through, system rollout, content capture, social execution, founder brand, project follow-through.
BACK TO TMI
Findings reach a build queue without a discovery phase, a requirements workshop, or anybody translating your operation into a specification.
UNTIL IT IS USED
They are the first person to run whatever gets built, at full volume, on live work — then they teach it to the people who inherit it.
They can complete the task today while helping TMI remove the need for that task tomorrow.
Meet TMI Embedded →WHO IT IS FOR
- Companies with a real operation behind them — equipment, crews, inventory, production, field work.
- Operators going after bigger work who know their current systems will not carry it.
- Owners who would rather have someone walk the floor than open a ticket with a vendor they never meet.
- The son or daughter taking it over, who can see what has to change and does not want to break what works.
Same constraint: the operation is stronger than the infrastructure.
IF YOU ARE THE ONE TAKING IT OVER
YOU INHERITED
THE COMPANY.
NOT THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Your name is on it now, or it is about to be. What came with it is a business that genuinely works and almost none of the reasons why. The pricing logic is in your dad’s head. The reason that customer gets a different rate is in your dad’s head. The guy who has been here thirty years knows the rest, and he is talking about retiring too.
You can see what needs to change. You grew up with technology they did not have. But every change reads as a verdict on how they built it, and the last thing you want is to be the kid who came in and broke a company that was fine before you got there.
You are not choosing between respecting it and modernising it. The job is to get what is in their heads into the company, so the operation is documented, connected, and hard to break — and so it still runs the way it earned the right to.
- Pricing that lives in one person’s judgementQuoting logic anyone can work from
- A drawer of paper tickets and a whiteboardA job record that updates as the work happens
- “Ask him, he knows”Written down, searchable, trainable
- Six systems that never talked to each otherOne connected operation
- Reports you build by hand on a SundayNumbers that are already there on Monday
- A company that needs you in the middle of itA company that runs, and keeps running
We have done this alongside the generation handing it over, not around them. You should end up with a cleaner company than the one you were given, and the people who built it should still recognise it.
ON THE GROUND
WE WILL BE
AT YOUR FACILITY.
Most technology companies that serve industrial operations have never stood on one. They scope the job from a video call, hand over a login, and treat adoption as the customer’s problem. That is why so many shops have paid for software nobody opens. TMI works the other way round: we come to you, we learn how the work actually runs, and we build it with the people who have to use it. We are based in Lafayette, Louisiana, which means the Gulf Coast is home turf — and we travel to job sites across the country for the same reason.
WE COME TO YOU
Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, and on site wherever the work is — across the Gulf Coast and nationwide. We walk the floor, follow a job from quote to invoice, and talk to the people doing it. Nothing gets designed off an org chart or a phone call.
ONE TEAM, NOT A TICKET QUEUE
You get the people who built it. No offshore handoff, no account manager relaying questions to someone you never meet, no waiting on a time zone. When something breaks, you call and reach someone who knows your operation.
WE STAY UNTIL IT IS USED
Installing software is not the job. We train the crew, sit with them while the habit forms, and measure whether people actually use it. A system nobody opens is a failed build, and we treat it that way.
You already know what happens when a vendor disappears after go-live. We are a phone call and a truck, not a support address. Louisiana → Lafayette →
THE COMPANIES WE BUILD FOR
EVERY KIND OF
INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS.
If it has equipment, crews, inventory, or field work, the constraint is the same and the vocabulary never is. We build across all of it.

The door is not closed, though. We work with any business serious about building the next version of itself, and of its industry. See how we learn an industry →
WHAT THE OWNER ACTUALLY GETS
SIX THINGS.
ALL OF THEM MEASURABLE.
Know what is happening without calling five people.
Repetitive work removed rather than redistributed.
See the leak while there is still time to fix it.
Get found and trusted before the sales conversation starts.
The company depends less on one owner or one employee.
A documented, visible, systemised company is easier to hand over or sell.
