Our Buyer

We're Built for One Kind of Buyer

Next Industrial is for small and mid-sized Midwest manufacturers, roughly 10 to 249 employees, who are taking on real production software for the first time or replacing a system that's aged out. Most of our fit shops are running one of two things today: QuickBooks plus spreadsheets, or an older JobBoss or E2 install.

If that's you, we speak your language and we've done the work before.

Who We're Not a Fit For (Yet)

We'll be straight about this, because a bad fit costs you more than it costs us. We're not the right first call for very high-mix, high-complexity machine shops with heavy custom-tooling requirements. That's where ERP projects churn hardest, and we'd rather earn that work later than sell it to you now and watch it struggle.

Where We Work

Where We Work

For shops in the Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana region, we work on-site. That proximity is the point: same timezone, in the building, not a support ticket to another continent. Across the broader industrial Midwest we work remotely and consultatively.

Not Sure If You Fit?

That's exactly what a fit assessment is for. We'll tell you honestly, before there's a contract on the table.
