Systems for Westminster's Route 2 industrial parks
Route 2 and Route 140
Does Kief Studio work in Westminster? Yes.
Westminster is the Route 2 town with room for industry. Its master plan counts two large industrial districts right off the highway, Simplex Drive and the Westminster Business Park, and the Planning Board has approved a 604,000 square foot distribution building and a 380,000 square foot light manufacturing plant in the Park. Kief Studio, in Shrewsbury, MA 01545, builds the systems operations like these run on and hosts them on LTFI.
A new warehouse or plant opens with a dock schedule, an inventory count and a customer portal that all need to talk to each other, and with security someone has to own from the first day. That is ERP, integration work and managed hosting, and it is easier to get right before the first truck backs in. The town's established manufacturers need the same thing at a smaller scale, and so do the residents who work from home, a share that roughly tripled between 2000 and 2010.
