Uptimize Solutions - Workflow automation and system integration for manufacturers and distributors

About Uptimize Solutions

Founded on 25+ years of hands-on experience helping operations-heavy businesses fix what's broken, connect what's disconnected, and see what's really happening.

Who We Are

Uptimize Solutions is a workflow automation and system integration firm built specifically for manufacturers and distributors. Founded by Scott Thompson — who has spent 25+ years solving operational technology problems in this space — Uptimize helps operations-heavy companies eliminate manual workflows, connect disconnected systems, and get real visibility into their data.

We're not a big agency. We're a focused team that specializes in the operational technology that runs your business: ERP systems, CRM platforms, warehouse tools, phone systems, and the integrations between them.

We've seen the inside of SAP, Oracle, Epicor P21, Infor, NetSuite, Sage, Dynamics, and dozens of legacy systems like FoxPro and AS/400. We speak the language of operations leaders, IT teams, controllers, and warehouse managers.

Based in Lake County, Illinois. On-site throughout Chicagoland, remote nationwide.

What We Believe

The principles behind every project we take on

Fix the workflow before you add technology

Most automation fails because the process underneath is broken. We always start by mapping what's actually happening.

Systems should talk to each other

If your team is rekeying data between systems, that's a problem we can solve. Every integration we build eliminates manual work.

You should be able to trust your own data

Clean data isn't a nice-to-have. It's the foundation of every good decision, dashboard, and automation.

About the Founder

Scott Thompson — Founder, Uptimize Solutions

Scott has spent 25+ years working directly with manufacturers and distributors on their operational technology — from ERP integrations and warehouse systems to AI-powered workflow automation. He's worked hands-on with systems like Epicor P21, SAP, Oracle NetSuite, Sage, and Microsoft Dynamics across dozens of manufacturing and distribution environments.

He founded Uptimize Solutions to bring deep operational technology expertise to midmarket manufacturers and distributors who are stuck between enterprise IT firms that charge too much and generalist MSPs that don't understand their workflows.

Scott's approach is simple: fix the process first, then apply the right technology. Every engagement starts with understanding how the business actually runs — not with a software pitch.
