Dollar Bay
Dollar Bay is a community on Portage Lake in Houghton County between Houghton and Lake Linden, a Copper Country waterfront town with a manufacturing legacy — including the long-running Horner Flooring works — and a base of manufacturing, contractors, recreation, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Dollar Bay area's manufacturing, contractors, recreation, and service businesses, 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.
Do you work with businesses in Dollar Bay, Michigan?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being on Portage Lake is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Dollar Bay client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does being in the Keweenaw make remote support harder?
Not at all — remote-first is how we work everywhere, so a Dollar Bay business gets the same fast response and attention as one in a big city, without waiting on a long drive.
What would you build for a Dollar Bay manufacturer, contractor, or recreation business?
Usually an operations, scheduling, inventory, or billing platform built around how your shop or operation runs — so a Dollar Bay business works from one system instead of spreadsheets and disconnected apps.
Where does AI help a Dollar Bay business?
In intake, quoting, scheduling, customer email, and follow-up — so a Dollar Bay business gets real leverage and frees staff for higher-value work without adding headcount.
Do you support manufacturers in Dollar Bay?
Yes — we build production scheduling, inventory, work-order, and order-tracking tools around how a manufacturer actually operates, and integrate with the systems you already run.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Dollar Bay 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 Dollar Bay business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Dollar Bay 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 Dollar Bay business.
Can you help a Dollar Bay business get found online?
Yes — local SEO and content tuned for the Dollar Bay area on Portage Lake and the surrounding Copper Country, so the customers searching nearby find you first.
