White Pine
White Pine is a community in Ontonagon County built as a Copper Range Company company town around the White Pine copper mine, near the Porcupine Mountains and the Lake Superior shore in the far-western UP, now a quiet community with a base of recreation, lodging, contractors, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the White Pine area's recreation, lodging, contractors, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — distance is no barrier, and we work easily across the time-zone line, adding on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
Do you work with businesses in White Pine, Michigan?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being in the far-western UP is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A White Pine client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does being in the western Upper Peninsula on Central Time make remote support harder?
Not at all — we work across time zones every day, so a White Pine business gets the same fast response and attention as one in a big city, with no friction from the Central-Time line or the distance.
What would you build for a White Pine recreation, lodging, or contractor business?
Usually a booking, customer, scheduling, or billing platform built around how your operation runs — so a White Pine business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Where does AI help a White Pine business?
In intake, booking, customer email, and follow-up — so a White Pine business gets real leverage through the Porcupine Mountains season without scrambling for staff.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a White Pine 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 White Pine business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your White Pine 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 White Pine 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.
Can you help a White Pine business get found online?
Yes — local SEO and content tuned for White Pine, its copper-mining heritage and Porcupine Mountains setting, so the travelers searching nearby find you first.
