Indian River
Indian River is a community in central Cheboygan County at the hub of the Inland Waterway where the Indian River connects Burt Lake and Mullett Lake — two of Michigan's largest inland lakes — a four-season resort town with a marina, the Cross in the Woods shrine, and a base of shops, lodging, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Indian River area's shops, restaurants, lodging, marinas, 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 Indian River, Michigan?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. An Indian River client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does being in northern Michigan make remote support harder?
Not at all — remote-first is how we work everywhere, so an Indian River business gets the same fast response and attention as one downstate, without waiting on a road trip.
What would you build for an Indian River shop, restaurant, or marina business?
Usually a booking, reservation, ordering, customer, or billing platform built around how your seasonal operation runs — so an Indian River business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Where does AI help an Indian River business?
In intake, booking, customer email, scheduling, and follow-up — so an Indian River business gets real leverage through the Burt-and-Mullett-Lake summer season without scrambling for staff.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for an Indian River 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 an Indian River business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Indian River 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 Indian River 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.
