CoreNorthwest runs a full operation — job boards, bid software, engineering teams, business development, field crews, inventory, and job costing. When they started looking for managed backups and server management, they had options. Their previous provider was pushing per-device contracts hard. They decided to look elsewhere.
They called BondByte.
This isn’t our first project together. We built the CoreNorthwest website years ago. That relationship led them to pick up our Endpoint Protection software. So when the backup and server conversation came up, it was a natural next step. We don’t do per-device subscription stacks. We don’t upsell you into a contract you’ll resent in 18 months. We show up, assess what you actually need, and build something that makes sense for your operation.
What we found when we got there
Taking over their server and network management means learning how the business actually runs — not just the hardware, but the workflow behind it.
Here’s what we discovered: their job costing process runs through a shared Excel document. Field data gets filled out, sent to the front office, and then a staff member manually enters it all into QuickBooks. About four hours of entry. Every payroll cycle. Every job cost reconciliation.
We haven’t fixed that yet. But the conversation is started.
That’s what separates BondByte from a traditional MSP. We’re not just watching your servers. We’re paying attention to your business. And when we see four hours of manual data entry that could be automated, we say something.
CoreNorthwest is one BasicBMS implementation away from running their entire operation — backups, endpoint protection, web presence, and job costing — through a single local vendor who knows their business from the ground up.
Hardware is a vehicle to good software.
That’s the way we think about it. The server in your closet, the endpoints on your desks, the backup running at 2am — none of that is the point. The point is that your business runs clean, your data is protected, and your people aren’t wasting half a day doing work a system could do in seconds.
If you’re in the Yakima Valley and you’re tired of vendors who sell you hardware and call it a solution, give us a call. We’ll start with a free assessment — no contracts, no pressure, no per-device pitch.
