About Us
Integrating Operations and Systems to Drive Manufacturing Excellence.
For manufacturing companies, espi integrates operations and systems to optimize business processes that drive growth, scalability, profitability, and resiliency.
Founded in 2002, Enterprise Systems Partners, Inc. (espi) was built by manufacturing professionals who recognized the critical gap between operational realities and information systems. What began as a mission to improve process flow on factory floors has evolved into a trusted boutique consulting firm delivering ERP, IIoT, and operational excellence solutions for manufacturers.
For over two decades, espi has partnered with manufacturers to solve complex operational and information challenges. Our blue-collar consulting style is hands-on, practical, and results-driven. We are more than advisors—we become embedded partners who understand what it takes to improve the shop floor, the boardroom, and everything in between.
Rooted in curiosity, humility, and lifelong learning, our journey reflects a deep commitment to integrity, sustainable impact, and measurable results.
