Keep production moving. Keep orders shipping. Keep your mission on track.

When your business runs on fresh food, there’s no room for stale technology.
At Strive Technology Consulting, we help Colorado natural food and consumer goods companies eliminate downtime, protect operations, and create stable, scalable systems that support your growth — without adding unnecessary complexity.

Who We Serve

Food and CPG brands with 10–100 employees that:

  • Manufacture or distribute natural foods or packaged goods
  • Operate facilities or warehouses along Colorado’s Front Range
  • Depend on cloud-based systems for inventory, logistics, or POS
  • Need consistent, secure access for both office and production teams

You focus on feeding people and running an ethical business. We make sure your technology keeps up with your purpose.

How We Help Natural Food Companies Thrive

1. Zero-Downtime Operations

Production doesn’t stop for IT issues.

We keep your systems — from office to warehouse — running smoothly through proactive monitoring, regular maintenance, and process-driven standards that eliminate recurring problems before they start.

2. Smart, Holistic Security

You don’t need another tool; you need a smarter approach.

We look at your entire network — from production floor to front office — through a respected cybersecurity framework that finds and fixes the real risks impacting uptime, data, and compliance.

3. Compliance & Risk Management

If your operation handles credit transactions or vendor integrations, we help ensure PCI compliance and protect sensitive financial data.

You’ll know exactly where your risks are — and have a plan to fix them.

4. People-Focused Partnership

Your team makes things people love — and they deserve technology that simply works.

We pride ourselves on being clear communicators and proactive problem solvers, so your team never has to choose between making product and managing IT.

Strive has been our IT Consultant since at least for over 15 years.

They have consistently serviced our business with sincerity, timeliness and professionalism. Strive regularly navigates us through small, daily IT matters as well as navigated us through our large IT project when we moved to a new building. We can trust them with any project no matter what the size. We definitely appreciate that their team is just a phone call, text or email away when we need them. I highly recommend Strive for anyone looking for complete managed IT services.

FAQ — What Food & CPG Business Owners Need to Know

1. What makes Strive different from other IT providers?

We don’t sell software; we solve business problems.

Our team follows a proven framework to manage, secure, and continuously improve your technology — focusing on reliability, not shiny new tools.

2. Do you understand the food manufacturing and distribution world?

Yes — we’ve worked with food producers, distributors, and co-packers across Colorado.

We understand that uptime affects product freshness, delivery schedules, and customer satisfaction, so we treat reliability as your competitive advantage.

3. How do you handle cybersecurity without making things complicated?

We take a whole-business approach — securing networks, processes, and people — without adding unnecessary tools or subscriptions.

Our focus is on practical, measurable security that improves stability and trust.

4. Are you only local to Colorado?

We’re proudly based in Boulder and serve companies across Colorado’s Front Range, from Denver to Fort Collins.

Many of our clients operate nationally — and we’re fully equipped to support remote or distributed teams while keeping your local operations strong and responsive.

5. Do you help with compliance or vendor requirements?

Yes. If your payment systems or vendor contracts require PCI compliance or security documentation, we guide you through it.

We also help manage vendor risks, so partners and retailers can trust your tech as much as your products.

6. What should I look for in an IT company for a food business?

Look for providers who:

  1. Understand both production and office environments
  2. Communicate in plain language
  3. Have a structured process — not a reactive “we’ll fix it when it breaks” mindset

7. Can you support hybrid teams?

Absolutely. Many food businesses now have remote staff for sales, accounting, or marketing.

We provide secure access and support across all locations — keeping collaboration seamless and secure.

8. How long does onboarding take?

Typically 30–45 days.

We start by auditing and stabilizing your systems, then move to proactive maintenance and ongoing improvements.

9. What kind of reporting do you provide?

Every client receives quarterly reports showing uptime, risk trends, and actionable next steps — so you always know where your IT stands.

10. What’s your mission as a company?

To positively impact one million lives by helping organizations that make a difference — including those feeding and sustaining their communities through better food and ethical business.

Ready to Get the Technology Piece Right?

Your mission is too important to be slowed down by unreliable systems.
Let’s make sure your IT is as sustainable as your food supply.
