Advisory

AI, software, and support for small businesses.

Three ways to work with us. If you need something built, show us the workflow. We'll build the core function and show it to you working before you see a proposal.

What we offer

Our Services

Start wherever the problem is. If you're still figuring out where AI fits, start with AI Enablement. If you already know what needs fixing, start with a Custom Build.

AI Enablement

Ongoing help for teams that know AI could matter but aren't sure what to do first.

Monthly, with a clear scope

Best for

You know AI matters but don't know where to start
You've got several ideas and need to know which are worth doing
Your team needs help using new tools without creating a mess

What is included

Find the workflows worth fixing
Choose and set up the right tools
Train the team on real work
Set simple rules for secure use
Build small automations and connections
Keep the roadmap moving

How it works

The proposal says what we're working on, how often we'll meet, and what we'll get done. If we find something that needs its own build, we scope that separately.

Custom Builds

A tool built around the way your business actually runs.

Fixed-scope project

Best for

One workflow is costing the team time or money every week
The software you have almost fits, but the gaps keep growing
The same job gets retyped or handed between disconnected tools

What is included

Operations apps and portals
Internal knowledge tools
Phone and customer intake systems
Connections between CRM, accounting, dispatch, and other tools
Quoting and document tools
Dashboards and workflow automations

How it works

Show us the workflow. We build a free working path through the core function and show it to you live. If it works, we give you a proposal with the price, timeline, and exactly what we'll finish.

Managed Support

We keep the systems we build working after they go live.

Ongoing, after launch

Best for

Every system we build and ship into production
Anything that relies on changing APIs, vendors, or AI models
Teams that don't want to become their own software department

What is included

System health and error monitoring
Fixes and deployment
API, vendor, and AI model updates
A real person when something goes wrong
Keeping the documentation current
Small changes and tune-ups

How it works

Every production build rolls into Managed Support. Small changes stay there. Anything bigger gets its own scope so nobody is surprised.

FAQ

Common questions.

The things people usually ask before we build anything.

We build one complete working path through the core function you showed us. Then we show it to you live before we talk price, so you're judging something real instead of buying from a document.

No. If you already know what needs fixing, start with a Custom Build. AI Enablement is for teams that still need to find or prioritize the right opportunities. Every production build moves into Managed Support after launch.

The first conversation and working demo are free. If the demo proves the idea, the proposal tells you what we'll build, what it costs, how long it takes, and what support looks like after launch.

Yes, and most clients do. Techfive already runs the helpdesk, security, and Microsoft 365 side for hundreds of Midwest businesses. Intelligence work sits on top of that, with one team accountable for both.

Your turn
