Lone Pine
Lone Pine is a community in Inyo County, California, in the southern Owens Valley at the foot of Mount Whitney, a tourism-and-recreation town famous for the Alabama Hills, where hundreds of films have been shot, and as the gateway to the highest peak in the Lower 48. Its economy runs on tourism and outdoor recreation, film and location work, lodging and hospitality, ranching, retail and services, and the small businesses serving a remote Eastern Sierra community. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the tourism, recreation, and small businesses of Lone Pine and Inyo County, with offline-tolerant tooling for the remote Eastern Sierra and wildfire-resilient backups, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania. Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.

Why hire an out-of-state firm for a Lone Pine business?
Because in a remote Eastern Sierra town there is no local software shop, and we deliver senior, enterprise-grade work online where the systems actually live. A Lone Pine business gets the capability of a much larger firm with the attention of a small one, and on-site time when a project genuinely needs it.
Can you help a Lone Pine lodging, motel, or hospitality business?
Yes. A motel, lodge, vacation-rental, or hospitality business serving Mount Whitney and Alabama Hills visitors at Lone Pine is exactly who we build booking, reservation, channel-management, point-of-sale, and reporting tools for, designed for remote connectivity, and we tune destination SEO so the visitors searching find you first.
Can you help a Lone Pine outfitter, guide, or recreation business?
Yes. An outfitter, guide, permit, or recreation business serving the Mount Whitney portal and the Eastern Sierra at Lone Pine is exactly who we build booking, permit, waiver, scheduling, and reporting tools for, so the operation runs from one system.
Can you help a Lone Pine film, location, or production-services business?
Yes. A film-location, production-services, or related business in the Alabama Hills area is exactly who we build scheduling, booking, permit, billing, and reporting tools for, so the bookings and the back office run from one system.
Can you work with a Lone Pine-area tribal enterprise or the Lone Pine Paiute-Shoshone community?
Yes. We work with tribal enterprises and the businesses connected to the Lone Pine Paiute-Shoshone community the same way we work with any organization: you own your code and your data outright, on terms you set, with the access controls and reporting you require, so the enterprise owns its data and systems outright on terms it sets.
Will the tools keep working through the remote Eastern Sierra's connectivity?
Yes. We build offline-tolerant tools that operate locally and sync when connectivity returns, so a Lone Pine business keeps taking bookings and sales even when storms or remote connectivity disrupt the link.
Can you help a Lone Pine business plan for wildfire and disaster resilience?
Yes. We build with off-site, immutable backups and tested recovery so a Lone Pine business keeps its data and gets back online fast after a wildfire, earthquake, or outage, real concerns in the Eastern Sierra, with the plan documented, not just promised.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Lone Pine business?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable and off-site backups, phishing filtering, strict access controls, and a tested incident-response and disaster-recovery plan, plus secure payment handling where you take payments. We set it up and manage it for you, aligned with your conditions.
What does a custom platform cost a Lone Pine business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; larger tourism, recreation, or integration platforms scale from there. We scope it to what your Lone Pine operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
How long until it's running, and who owns the code and data?
Usually eight to ten weeks to the first live workflow, then iterative improvements from there, and you own the code and the data outright, with no lock-in, hosted in an environment that fits your requirements.
Can you help a Lone Pine business reach visitors and get found online?
Yes. Destination, local, and regional SEO, content, and booking tools tuned for Lone Pine, Mount Whitney, the Alabama Hills, and the Eastern Sierra, so the visitors and customers searching find you first and the pipeline actually converts.
