Common IT Challenges for Thunder Bay Businesses 

Thunder Bay businesses often face IT issues that can limit their productivity or put their data at risk. These include: 

Poor/No Backup Systems: Much of the protection against ransomware and other cybercrimes rely on up-to-date, secure backups for both data and system software.

Cybersecurity Threats: Increasing digital attacks targeting rural and regional businesses.
Outdated Systems: Legacy software and infrastructure that compromise performance and security.
Limited Internal IT Resources: Many small businesses can't afford full-time IT personnel.
Data Backup Gaps: Insufficient backup systems leave businesses vulnerable to data loss.
Costly Break-Fix Models: Emergency IT repairs often lead to higher and unpredictable costs.

Our managed services solve these challenges with proactive, budget-friendly, and scalable solutions built specifically for businesses in Northern Ontario.

What Our Customers Have to Say

Customized Software Saves Hours Of Work Every Week!

Brooks Feed is a Horse feed manufacturer, distributor and retailer of custom horse food. We use nutritional balanced formulae to create the right balance of energy, protein, minerals and vitamins. Sirtawn Systems has strategically customized their system to manage several critical features that are unique to our manufacturing business. Our manual Nutrition Formulas now automatically create finished "Feed" product and automatically reduces the used raw material. New formulae can be created from history and tailored to new customers with complex nutritional needs.

This customized software seamlessly integrates into the regular Inventory, Sales Order / Distribution system and includes a pricing matrix that creates multiple pricing levels based on current costs.

Barry Brown is extraordinarily responsive and tends quickly to our evolving business needs. Over the years, there's virtually nothing we have requested that hasn't been implemented.

Weekly Decisions Made Effortlessly

The biggest single benefit to me is the Sirtawn Systems 52-week and monthly General ledger. Every 7 days, we use current weekly GL information to make informed management decisions.

Sirtawn Systems' Retail and Payroll modules quickly streamline daily processing by integrating the Café, Boat Rentals, Slip/Storage Sales and Management functions. The Time Clock and Employee Scheduling saves hours off weekly management work.

The company is versatile and adaptive. They go well beyond your expectations to deliver your business success.

Change is hard. Covid-19 forced us to change how we did business. The work was involved, but Sirtawn Systems made changes to the software. We experienced our best year ever and our future will be easier and better.

They will match the Marina Software to your needs. Sirtawn Systems should be your first choice.

All Departments Operate Under One Umbrella

The single biggest benefit to Monto Reno Marina has been being able to quickly access well organized information of our customers and vendors, history, service, receivables, general ledger and payables, all under one umbrella, one system.

The Sirtawn Software is truly customized to meet the needs of the marina industry. The system includes all areas of operation and we can request specialized changes if we may need them.

Having been a customer for more then 15 years, we are very pleased with the choice we made. I would recommend Sirtawn Systems as the #1 Marina Software to choose.

Manage Our Own Information Without Limitations

The single biggest benefit to our company is being able to manage our own information without limitations: viewing, reporting, retrieving summaries based on our unit of measure, customer type, revenue, product groups and product.

Sirtawn Systems is a one stop shop. We strongly recommend their software as every aspect of your business can be entered into this software. Reporting is a major key for us.
