FOR SERVICE CONTRACTORS AND INDUSTRIAL OPERATORS
You own the operation.You should also bear its fruit.
Your processes. Your people's know-how. Your data. Garage Shop builds the foundation under your operation and puts it in your hands, so more of the value stays with the business that creates it.
Our Forward Deploy squads work inside service, retail, and industrial businesses to connect your systems, stand up the products and infrastructure you need, and hand over an operation you control.
FORWARD DEPLOY ENGAGEMENTS FROM $25,000
HANGAR
Commit to more. Know you'll deliver.
THE PROBLEM
You own the business buthow much of the operation do you control?
You make the commitments to your customers. But the process can belong to a software vendor, the data can sit behind an export button, and the knowledge can leave with whoever last solved the problem.
OWNERSHIP LEDGER
ILLUSTRATIVE ONLY
PROCESS
Your team works around the software. Changing a workflow becomes a vendor request.
Your workflows, connected on your terms
DATA
The estimate, job, invoice, and maintenance history describe the same work in different languages.
One operating record you can use
CAPABILITY
A consultant solves it once. When the work ends or the person leaves, the know-how goes too.
Know-how and evidence that stay
INFRASTRUCTURE
Your operating records live wherever each vendor decided to put them.
Hosted with a path to ownership
Another dashboard won't fix that on its own. Someone has to get inside the operation, get their hands dirty, and connect how the work actually happens.
WHAT WE BUILD
One foundation.Everything your operation runs on.
Garage Shop builds in layers. We deploy into your operation, give you the products to run it, host it with clear boundaries, and help you find the value in what it produces. Start with the layer you need. The rest is there when you're ready.
FORWARD DEPLOY
THE ENGAGEMENT
We don't throw sh*t at the wall.We get our hands dirty and embed inside your operation.
A small Garage Shop squad works alongside your team. We map how the work actually happens, connect the systems you already use, configure Hangar around your operation, set up hosting where needed, and help run the first missions. The scope follows the constraint you need to remove, not a requirement to buy the whole stack.
We don't throw software over the wall. Every engagement ends with a handoff you can inspect.
Garage Shop Forward Deploy Squad
Start with one operating problem.
From $25,000
Bring us the work that keeps breaking down, the systems that don't connect, or the capability you can't reliably staff. We'll define a first deployment around it.
Deliverables, acceptance criteria, and any ongoing service costs are agreed before work begins.

INTRODUCING HANGAR · OUR FIRST PRODUCT
The first product built on the foundation.
Hangar is how your team runs the operation day to day. It connects the customers you serve, the value streams that deliver for them, and the systems those streams depend on. When something slips, it turns the constraint into a mission and keeps the evidence of what changed.

MISSIONS · INSIDE HANGAR
Bring in the capability.Keep control of the work.
You shouldn't have to choose between open-ended consulting and a permanent hire every time a specific job needs doing. Missions turn that need into bounded work: a defined outcome, the capability it requires, and the evidence to accept it. You set the mission, approve access, and accept the result. The record stays with you.
WHAT MATTERS
OPEN-ENDED ENGAGEMENT
A MISSION YOU CONTROL
SCOPE
The activity is clear. The finish line isn't.
Outcome, boundaries, and acceptance criteria are set before work starts.
FIT
People are chosen on credentials and introductions.
Capability is checked against what this mission requires.
DONE
Progress gets reported. Acceptance is a judgment call.
Delivery evidence is reviewed against the agreed criteria.
CONTINUITY
Context lives with whoever did the work.
Decisions, evidence, and the handoff stay in your Hangar.
Here's what you control.

FIRST, MAKE IT USEFUL. THEN, SEE WHAT ELSE IT'S WORTH.
Keep a stake in what your data becomes.
Disconnected records have a cost before they have a market. Forward Deploy starts by making the data useful to your business. Where rights, quality, and buyer demand support it, we help structure derived data products and licensing arrangements in which you participate.
