Specialized Industry Domain

Built from the Manufacturing Floor Up.

Having spent 15+ years steering enterprise IT operations for a nationally recognized consumer brand and manufacturer, I understand physical supply chains, ERP data pipelines, and the daily realities of plant operations. I also partner directly with growing and smaller businesses to navigate the constantly changing AI landscape, helping owners and operators demystify emerging tools and identify practical, low-risk opportunities.

Plant-Floor Systems & MES

Custom Manufacturing Software & Shop-Floor Systems

Architect and modernize specialized plant-floor applications, operator touchscreens, and work-in-progress (WIP) tracking tools that seamlessly connect factory machinery to core ERP databases.

Business Outcome: Eliminates paper logs and manual data entry, providing real-time line visibility across shifts.
Operations & Planning

ERP & Supply Chain Data Synthesis

Connect LLMs to complex Oracle, SAP, or Microsoft ERP datasets to generate natural-language executive summaries of inventory anomalies, supplier delays, and material shortages.

Quickly synthesize standard operating procedures (SOPs), safety compliance documents, and ISO audit trails, ensuring consistent execution across shifts and facilities.

Business Outcome: Keeps documentation audit-ready with a fraction of the administrative burden.
Cross-Industry & Small Business Guidance

Not in manufacturing, or taking your first steps into AI?

While manufacturing is a signature specialty, these same principles deliver equal ROI across healthcare, retail, e-commerce, and professional services. If the constant flood of new AI tools feels confusing, overwhelming, or uncertain, let's schedule an introductory conversation. We will cut through the noise and define the single most practical next (or first) step for your business.

Vendor-Neutral Advisory

I don't sell software licenses. I solve business problems.

Most consulting agencies push whatever ecosystem gives them the largest referral kickback or reseller commission. As an independent sole proprietor, my only allegiance is to your operational bottom line.

Whether Anthropic’s Claude, Azure AI Foundry, OpenAI, or a self-hosted private open-source model is the right choice, I make recommendations based strictly on data security, governance, total cost of ownership, and ease of adoption.

Leadership Background

Battle-Tested IT Leadership. Now in Your Corner.

I’m Drew Miller, an enterprise technology executive and strategic advisor with over two decades of hands-on experience building systems, steering digital modernization, and solving mission-critical operational challenges across manufacturing, consumer goods, retail, and healthcare.

Prior to launching my independent practice, I spent nearly 15 years leading enterprise technology for a nationally recognized consumer brand and manufacturer, serving as Vice President of Information Technology and Director of IT & Business Services.

Having served as technical and process lead on our Oracle EBS implementation, I spent the next decade hardening, enhancing, and governing that ERP environment to support enterprise growth. From evaluating next-generation ERP architectures to maintaining 24/7 high-availability infrastructure through major Florida hurricanes, my career has been built on real operational accountability.

Today, I bring that exact enterprise discipline to modern AI. Whether stepping in for a focused 2-week advisory sprint or serving in an interim executive leadership capacity, organizations partner directly with me, not a junior agency team learning on their dime.
