Cranford
Cranford is a charming Union County township on the Rahway River, with a walkable downtown of shops and restaurants, canoeing on the river, and a strong New York commuter community. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for Cranford's shops, restaurants, and professional practices, and we serve them from York County, Pennsylvania, remote-first with on-site time when a project warrants the drive.
Do you work with businesses in Cranford?
Yes — remote-first, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Cranford client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
What would you build for a Cranford shop, restaurant, or practice?
Usually a customer, booking, ordering, or billing platform built around how your downtown business runs — so a Cranford business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Where does AI help a Cranford operator?
In intake, scheduling, customer email, and follow-up — so a Cranford business gets real leverage without adding headcount.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Cranford 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 Cranford business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Cranford 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 Cranford 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, with direct access for urgent problems instead of a ticket queue.
Can you help a Cranford business stand out online?
Yes — local SEO and content tuned for Cranford and its downtown, so the customers searching nearby find your door first.
Do you replace our current systems or work with them?
We keep what's working and replace only what's holding you back, so a Cranford business isn't forced into a rebuild it didn't ask for.
