Every backcountry business needs an AI guy.
Out here you've got a guy for wells, a guy for solar, a guy for tractors. AI shouldn't be any different. I'm Erick — bring me the question you've been sitting on and you'll get a straight answer, even when the straight answer is “you don't need it yet.”

“I know my solutions let backcountry businesses operate as though they're in urban and suburban settings, and I want to better the lives and livelihoods of my backcountry neighbors.”
Enterprise-grade security.
Documented. Public. Verifiable.

Real clients. Real results.
Harvest season used to mean handwritten order forms and a stack of sticky notes. Now customers order online, I see what's selling in real time, and the newsletter goes out without me chasing it. I actually get to focus on the orchard.
I was paying for a website that did nothing except exist. Now my customers can see water quality reports, check store hours, and I can send updates without calling everyone. The store finally feels like a real business online.
Your neighbors are already on this list.
Julian. Borrego Springs. Warner Springs. Santa Ysabel. Chihuahua Valley. Shelter Valley. BTS has been doing this work since 2017.
