Growth Ready SMB With revenue in the range of one to ten million dollars and a lean team, Hilger Construction is a growth-ready SMB that can scale operations with modern IT and ERP-enabled processes. The current tech stack includes Microsoft 365, PHP, jQuery, and standard web servers, signaling opportunities to implement cloud-based ERP/CRM, inventory and order management, and enhanced collaboration. A focused digital transformation could improve product lifecycle visibility, procurement efficiency, and customer service as demand grows.

IT Outsourcing Opportunity The small size of the internal IT function makes outsourced managed services highly attractive. We can offer security hardening, continuous monitoring, patch management, MFA for Microsoft 365, and vulnerability scanning to reduce risk in manufacturing and ensure business continuity.

Web Modernization The current hosting and development stack suggests room for performance optimization and a more modern digital presence. A web redesign with a responsive, fast site, upgraded CMS, SEO improvements, and CRM/marketing automation integration could help attract distributors, retailers, or contract manufacturers and capture more qualified leads.

Security Enhancement Enhance security posture with a structured program including firewall/WAF, TLS best practices, automatic backups, disaster recovery planning, and user access governance. This is especially valuable for protecting sensitive product data, supplier information, and customer data in a lean environment.

Strategic Partnerships Explore channel and supplier partnerships with larger buyers and distributors in the consumer goods or manufacturing space. Regional geographic advantages around Seattle-Tacoma can support logistics efficiencies, and establishing preferred vendor programs can help win larger contracts and improve revenue growth.
