Software for Uxbridge, in the middle of the Route 146 corridor
Routes 146, 16 and 122
Does Kief Studio work in Uxbridge? Yes.
Uxbridge's own open space plan says Route 146 may be turning into a third belt around greater Boston, after Routes 128 and 495, and the town's industrial and business area runs along it in the south of town. Routes 16 and 122 cross in Uxbridge Center, and a freight rail line still runs through. Kief Studio builds software for the companies in that mix and hosts it on LTFI from Shrewsbury.
In the Census figures the plan cites, manufacturing employs 15.1 percent of working Uxbridge residents, more than retail does. For a manufacturer or distributor off the highway, the useful projects are an ERP that tracks orders and stock and the integrations that move data between carriers, suppliers and the books. For the shops downtown, it is a site that loads fast and stays current.
