Alanson
Alanson is a village in southeastern Emmet County on the Crooked River along the Inland Waterway, a small boating community known for its swing bridge, with a Main Street and a base of shops, marine, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Alanson area's shops, marine, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.

What would you build for an Alanson shop, marine, or service business?
Usually a slip-reservation, booking, customer, ordering, or scheduling platform built around how your seasonal operation runs — so an Alanson business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.

In intake, customer email, booking, scheduling, and follow-up — so an Alanson business gets real leverage and handles the Inland Waterway season without scrambling for staff.

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.

A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Alanson operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.

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.
