Richmond
Richmond is a Stearns County city on the Sauk River chain of lakes in the German-Catholic dairy country southwest of St. Cloud, a community where lakes recreation meets farmland with a base of agriculture, recreation, retail, and trades. Its lakes and farm country anchor a central-Minnesota economy. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Richmond area's agriculture, recreation, retail, 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 Richmond, Minnesota?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being a Sauk River chain-of-lakes town is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Richmond client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does working remotely mean slower support for a Richmond business?
No — remote-first is how we work everywhere, and for a central-Minnesota town like Richmond it means the same fast response as anywhere, without waiting on someone to drive up.
What would you build for a Richmond agriculture, recreation, or retail business?
Usually a recordkeeping, booking, customer, scheduling, or billing platform built around how your operation runs — so a Richmond business works from one system instead of disconnected apps.
Where does AI help a Richmond business?
In intake, scheduling, booking, recordkeeping, customer email, and follow-up — so a Richmond business gets real leverage through the lake and farm seasons without adding headcount.

What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Richmond business?
