Frustrated by the IT guy who doesn't call you back?

Manufacturers in Boston can't afford an IT partner who goes quiet when a machine, a server, or the network stops cooperating. Downtime on the floor is lost revenue — and you need someone who picks up.

Our technicians focus on quality support with a personal touch. We have a genuine passion for technology, and it shows in how quickly and thoroughly we resolve your issues.

Local means local. Our team is based in North Smithfield, RI and dispatches technicians throughout Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and eastern Connecticut. Your calls never get routed to an overseas help desk.

Is your computer support guy giving you the runaround?

Manufacturers have IT needs most generalist providers simply don't understand — shop-floor systems, industry software, and no tolerance for downtime. Here's what we hear from Boston manufacturers before they switch to us.

  • Slow or no callbacksTickets sit for days and deadlines get missed while your production waits.
  • No knowledge of your softwareGeneralists have never touched E2 Shop, MieTrak, or Amada and can't help when those systems break.
  • Surprise invoicesEvery service call becomes a separate charge, making IT costs impossible to budget.
  • Outsourced help desksYour urgent floor issue gets transferred overseas to someone who's never seen your plant.
  • Recurring problemsIssues never get fixed right the first time, so the same failures keep coming back.

Four big reasons manufacturers outsource IT to us

Boston-area manufacturers switch to IT Support RI because we combine fast response, real industry knowledge, and a genuinely local team.

Here's the difference between the typical IT provider and a partner built for manufacturing.

The typical IT provider

  • Short-staffed, so you wait hours or days for help
  • Transfers you to an overseas help desk
  • Never seen your manufacturing software
  • Charges separately for every service call

Manufacturing IT support in Boston, answered

The questions Boston-area manufacturers ask us most.

Do you support manufacturing software like E2 Shop, MieTrak, and Amada?

Yes. We service many manufacturers running the same tools you do and are familiar with E2 Shop, MieTrak, Amada, Sage, QuickBooks, and more. We also attend industry trade shows to stay current on the systems that keep manufacturing businesses running.

Do you serve manufacturers in the Boston area?

We serve businesses across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and eastern Connecticut, including Greater Boston. Our team dispatches local technicians and uses remote tools so we can support you quickly wherever your facility is located.

How fast will someone respond when we have a problem?

We are known for our industry-leading response times, so a qualified technician is assigned to your issue fast. You can reach us by chat, email, or phone, and we can often remote into your systems within minutes to keep you running efficiently.

Is your help desk outsourced overseas?

No. We believe in supporting our local economy, so we employ and dispatch local, US-based technicians from our North Smithfield, RI office. You'll never be transferred to an overseas help desk.

How does your pricing work?

What other manufacturers say about us

Real feedback from industrial and manufacturing clients we support.

"They documented all our system specifications, numbered each computer, and created a network map. Over the years I've used them for backups, workstations, servers, and a long-range wireless link between buildings. They're familiar with my Amada setup and our MieTrak systems. I'd recommend them to any business in need of quality, personal IT support."

Peter Stone
Vice President, Precision Engineering Inc., Uxbridge MA

"They came in to save the data from our server and build a backup plan for our database. Since then my business has grown and they've helped every step of the way — new computers, network maintenance, any tech issue. Because they're local, I get rapid responses and immediate service. They go above and beyond any other tech company I've worked with."

Don Fox
President, Alashan Cashmere, Mapleville RI

"Before they took over as our IT specialists we had a full-time in-house IT person and still had constant problems with our network and servers. Since they took over, we've gone from needing someone here all week to just one day a week. They continue to steer our tech needs in the right direction. I highly recommend their services."

Marc Caron
V.P. of Manufacturing, W.R. Cobb Company, East Providence RI

"We needed a server to get our business files and security in order. They saw what else we needed and accounted for the whole network, not just the server. As we grew, they kept us on the latest technology so our engineers could work faster. Since our first meeting our business has doubled and moved locations — and they've been with us the whole way."
