What our customers say about leadership Travis Mitchell, CTO
"His passion for learning is indicative of his growth mindset and creative thinking. Travis has reminded me that dedication to bettering one's self is still present during times when in business, employers seek to hire those who strive to excel."
His ability to think outside the box is so refreshing to see in the IT world. I would recommend him for any team looking for innovation in this ever changing world we live in. I might add that his ability to ask the right question, the right way in order to get the results he wants.... is uncanny.
"His knowledge of the automotive industry is second only to his technical knowledge of systems and processes that run successful businesses. Travis is my go-to-guy for my "dealer tech" questions and provides a truly unique perspective that is unmatched anywhere in the automotive business."

Need clarification?
Are you going to replace my IT person?
No, we will support your staff, grow them, and help them communicate the best practices to staff and leadership. We aim to remove Managed Service Companies from dealerships that would prefer instant, onsite response and save a buck.
What do I do with a bad IT company?
The first problem with a bad IT company is it is hard to replace. You will need to hire someone to transition to in-house IT support. Start by hiring us to get you out and on your own. We offer training where you can qualify your department managers as "dangerous" but quickly solve their department needs.
Can we hire you to cover IT's Vacations?
Yes, we offer weekly remote telephone support to minimize costs and help in an emergency. Your IT person will be able to trust us with temporary users that can be removed upon their return. We understand the trust required to perform this service.
What if I am not a dealership?
We service Dealerships as a specialty. Our IT services perfect your current IT situation whether you service machines or provide services to customers. We are the best because we work with the most brutal, lowest margin Technical Space called Automotive. Our efficiencies can be yours.
