Sawyer
Sawyer is a community in Chikaming Township in southwestern Berrien County in Harbor Country, the gateway to Warren Dunes State Park on Lake Michigan, a beach-and-wine area with a base of lodging, winery, restaurant, and service businesses serving Chicago-area visitors. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Sawyer area's lodging, winery, restaurant, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
Do you work with businesses in Sawyer, Michigan?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Sawyer client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
What would you build for a Sawyer lodging, winery, or restaurant?
Usually a booking, reservation, e-commerce, wine-club, or point-of-sale platform built around how your seasonal operation runs — so a Sawyer business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Can you build an online store and wine club for a Harbor Country winery?
Yes — we build e-commerce, wine-club, and tasting-room platforms for wineries, so a Sawyer-area vineyard can sell, ship, and manage members from one system.
Where does AI help a Sawyer operator?
In reservation and guest email, booking, scheduling, and follow-up — so a Sawyer business gets real leverage and handles the beach-and-wine season without scrambling for staff.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Sawyer business taking payments?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and secure payment handling, all set up and managed for you so a Sawyer business isn't carrying that risk alone.
What does a custom platform cost a Sawyer business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Sawyer operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
How long until it's running?
Usually eight to ten weeks to the first live workflow, then iterative improvements from there.
Who owns the code and data?
You do, outright — no lock-in. The platform and data belong to your Sawyer business.
How fast do you respond when something breaks?
Typically 15–60 minutes during business hours and under an hour after-hours for critical issues, handled remotely with direct access for urgent problems — which matters most in season.
