Build and host for Gardner's manufacturers
Chair City
Does Kief Studio work in Gardner? Yes.
Gardner calls itself the chair city of the world, and the city says manufacturing is still a significant part of its economy. Its list of largest manufacturers runs from printing, paper and converting through wood and chair products to electrical components, optics and heating equipment. Kief Studio writes and runs software for companies like these from Shrewsbury.
What a mid-size plant needs is mostly unglamorous: orders, inventory and scheduling in one place, and a website that answers what customers keep asking. We build it, host it on dedicated infrastructure through managed hosting on LTFI, and keep it patched. The city is planning for more of this work too, with a business site study that looked for land for a new business park off Route 140.
