Every organization’s technology journey is different. We help you find yours.

People first. Then process. Then technology.
Always in that order.

Scout Solutions is a Minneapolis-based technology advisory firm that starts by understanding your people and your process before we talk about technology. We’re not here to sell you a system. We’re here to help you figure out what actually makes a difference, and then walk with you through the change.

What The Work Looks Like

Strategic Consulting

A national nonprofit had a CRM with 498,000 accounts that nobody used. We configured it around how the team actually works, and now they’re using it.

Digital Marketing

A Midwest manufacturer was running core business systems on a 13-year-old server. We migrated them to a modern platform without a minute of downtime. Their team rebuilt production from our documentation without us in the room.

Technology Solutions

A precision fabricator’s engineering team was losing 500+ hours a year on manual data entry between their CAD system and their ERP. We built an automation suite that gave them that time back.

Data Analytics

We manage an enterprise software product line serving Fortune 100 customers in financial services, government, and defense. The original company collects revenue. We handle everything else.

Customer Experience Enhancement

A multi-branch distributor needed a technology roadmap. We built the financial case: $2.6M in investment against $6.4-9.2M in projected returns, with a portfolio IRR of 95%.

Training and Development

We work with nonprofits because we believe in the work you do. That includes legal aid organizations working on technology modernization, AI integration, and referral network technology that connects intake systems to the people who need help.

Stories From the Journey

The Product That Needed a Home

A global software company needed to transition a legacy developer tools product to a dedicated partner. Seven years later, Fortune 100 customers are on multi-year deals and the original company collects royalties at zero overhead.

The Server That Had to Move

A manufacturer’s core application was running on a 13-year-old operating system. The team that built it was long gone. We migrated it, documented everything, and their team rebuilt production independently.

The CRM That Nobody Used

A national nonprofit invested in Dynamics 365 seven years ago, but nobody adopted it. We started with the people, not the technology, and built something they actually use.
