Sodus
Sodus is a community in Sodus Township in central Berrien County in the area's fruit country east of Benton Harbor, a rural area of orchards, surrounding farms, and a base of farms, packers, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Sodus area's farms, packers, 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 Sodus, Michigan?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Sodus client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
What would you build for a Sodus farm, packer, or service business?
Usually a farm-stand, e-commerce, order, inventory, or customer platform built around how your operation runs — so a Sodus business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Can you build a platform for an orchard or fruit packer?
Yes — we build farm-stand, e-commerce, and order/inventory platforms for orchards and packers, so a Sodus-area grower sells and tracks fruit from one system instead of juggling tools.
Where does AI help a Sodus operator?
In intake, customer email, order processing, scheduling, and follow-up — so a Sodus business gets real leverage through harvest without adding headcount.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Sodus business?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery plan, plus secure payment handling if you take card payments. We set it up and manage it for you.
What does a custom platform cost a Sodus business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Sodus 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 Sodus 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 at harvest.
