Built for Owners Who Are Done Fighting Fires

kAIsyn's fractional CIO / CTO offering is designed for manufacturers, engineering firms, and modern job shops who are tired of running everything from whiteboards, inboxes, and gut feel. If you're buried in RFQs, juggling due dates, and constantly stepping in to fix problems yourself, this is for you.

CNC, Fabrication, Laser, or 3D Printing Shops

Doing ~$1M–$15M+ in annual revenue and ready to scale beyond firefighting mode.

Engineering-Led Teams

That need leadership and systems, not just more software or consultants with generic advice.

Shops Past the Spreadsheet Stage

That tried generic ERPs, Zoho, or spreadsheets and still feel like things are duct-taped together.

Owners Who Want Their Days Back

Who want their days to feel calmer and their numbers to actually make sense without constant heroics.
