Staples
Staples is a BNSF rail-hub city in northern Todd County, home to a Central Lakes College campus and Lakewood Health System, with a base of rail, healthcare, manufacturing, agribusiness, and retail serving the surrounding region along US-10. A regional center that straddles the Todd and Wadena county line, Staples anchors a hardworking small-city economy. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Staples area's healthcare, manufacturing, rail-and-logistics, agribusiness, 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 Staples, Minnesota?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being a central Minnesota rail-and-healthcare city is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Staples client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does working remotely mean slower support for a Staples business?
No — remote-first is how we work everywhere, so a Staples business gets the same fast response and attention as a local provider, without waiting on a service call from the Cities.
What would you build for a Staples healthcare, manufacturing, or logistics business?
Usually a scheduling, intake, production, logistics, or billing platform built around how your operation runs — so a Staples business works from one system instead of disconnected apps and spreadsheets.
Do you work with Staples healthcare practices and care organizations?
Yes — with Lakewood Health System and a strong healthcare presence in Staples, we build scheduling, intake, and case-management tools sized to a clinic or care-services budget, so the organization spends less time on paperwork and more on patients.
Can you help a Staples manufacturer or rail-and-logistics business with operations tools?
Yes — a manufacturer, distribution, or rail-adjacent logistics business is exactly who we build production, inventory, scheduling, and billing tools for, around how the line and the freight actually run.
Where does AI help a Staples business?
In intake, scheduling, logistics, customer email, and follow-up — so a Staples healthcare, manufacturing, or service business gets real leverage without adding headcount.
Do you work with Staples agribusinesses and education-adjacent businesses?
Yes — an agribusiness or a business serving the Central Lakes College community is exactly who we build recordkeeping, scheduling, and customer tools for, around how you actually operate.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Staples 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 Staples business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Staples 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 Staples business.
Can you help a Staples business get found online?
Yes — local SEO and content tuned for Staples and its central Minnesota, rail-and-healthcare market, so the customers searching find you first.
