Complete IT leadership for manufacturers ready to scale

Manufacturers turn to Upward when they need to:

Build an aligned strategy to get the most out of their IT systems: We will develop a roadmap to optimize your software, production, processes and IT infrastructure to maximize production and profit.
Focus on shipping product, not troubleshooting: Ensure leadership and plant managers can focus on throughput and operations, rather than getting bogged down by server issues or connectivity failures.
Bridge the gap between IT and OT: Gain strategic guidance on how to integrate the ERP, shop floor data, and back-office systems into a single, cohesive roadmap.
Get enterprise-level expertise without the headcount: Access a full team of engineers capable of managing complex manufacturing stacks for less than the cost of a single internal IT hire.
Scale support with production demand: Leverage flexible support that adapts to new facility openings, added shifts, or seasonal fluctuations in output.
Treat IT like Preventative Maintenance: Move beyond a “reactive” ticket-taker to a proactive partner who identifies risks and prevents downtime before it halts the line.
