Greenville at a glance
Built on manufacturing, growing on everything else.

BMW's plant just up I-85 in Spartanburg County is the largest BMW plant in the world, Michelin North America's headquarters sits right here in Greenville, and Prisma Health, the largest health system in South Carolina, is based here too.

Examples
Who Stay matters most for around Greenville.
These aren't a limit. They're the businesses that can't afford systems that quietly stop working.
Manufacturing & automotive suppliers
Quoting, order, and reporting systems watched the way you'd watch a good employee: output checked, drift corrected, and a monthly account of what they saved and earned.
Construction & trades
While your crews build, we keep the office systems honest: follow-up running, invoices moving, job numbers current. You get the dollars version every month.
Hospitality & food service groups
Multi-location systems checked location by location, so a quiet failure at one restaurant doesn't hide inside a good month for the group.
Health care (non-clinical)
Scheduling and reminder systems monitored with the privacy rules intact, and a monthly report that shows what got booked, what got missed, and what we fixed.
How it works
Start. Build. Stay.
Start
Every engagement starts with a diagnostic. We map how the work gets done, find what's costing you the most, and put a dollar figure on it. The Krastor Blueprint is the written plan that comes out of it: fixed fee, starting at $1,500, and yours to keep whether you hire us or not.
Build
Before Stay starts, the build has to earn it. We build the first fix and get it live fast, usually inside the first two weeks, and prove it on your real work. Stay is what keeps that proof from expiring.
Stay
We keep it running, check its work, and show you what it saved and what it earned. You own the tools, the data, and the code. No lock-in, no disappearing act.
Rules to know
AI and data rules in South Carolina.
We found no broad AI law or consumer-privacy law for South Carolina private businesses as of September 2026. Federal and industry rules still apply.
Keep sensitive customer data out of public AI tools unless your vendor contract covers it.
This is a plain-English summary, not legal advice.

Questions
Straight answers.
What does Stay cost?
It is a monthly retainer, priced on what we're running for you and quoted in writing before it starts. The monthly report shows what it earned you in dollars, so the number has to justify itself every month.
Can we stop?
Yes. You own the tools, the data, and the code, and every account is in your name, so stopping doesn't strand anything. What you lose is us keeping it running, checking the work, and improving it month to month.
Do you work with businesses in Greenville and the Upstate?
Yes. We serve Greenville and the whole Upstate now, remotely and on site. Our South Carolina rep is based in-state, and our founder is moving to Greenville.
What size business do you work with?
Businesses with roughly 10 to 250 employees. Big enough to have real repeat work worth automating, small enough that the owner or an ops lead can make the call.
How do we start?
With a free 30-minute diagnostic. Book it at cal.com/krastor/intro. We map your operation, name what's actually slowing it down, and send a written assessment whether you hire us or not.
