Stay, in Spartanburg County
Someone watching the system after launch.
A supplier's systems drift the way its work drifts: a customer changes a requirement, a price list updates, a key person leaves and takes a workaround with them. The automation built in January is quietly wrong by June, and nobody knows until a customer points it out.
Stay means a person reviews the work, tunes the rules, and catches failures while they're small, then shows you the month in plain numbers. You're not buying software. You're keeping a second set of hands on the operation.

How it works
Start. Build. Stay.
Start
We start with the readiness assessment. It's a few questions, and your score is emailed to you with the one gap worth fixing first.
Build
We build the system into how your business actually runs, using the tools you already have where we can, and stay close while your team gets used to it.
Stay
We keep it running, check its work, and show you what it saved and what it earned. We own the architecture. You own the tools. 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?
Stay is priced per business, based on what we're running for you, and set in writing after the Blueprint maps your operation. There's no published rate card, because the work isn't off-the-shelf.
Can we stop?
Yes. Stay is a service, not a hostage arrangement. Your accounts, your data, and your exports stay yours, and we'll hand over documentation for whatever we ran.
Do you work with businesses in Spartanburg and the Upstate?
Yes. Krastor is based in Clyde, North Carolina, and Stay reviews can happen at your office or over video.
We don't have IT staff. Who fixes it when something breaks?
We do. Monitoring, fixes, and updates are the service. Your team reports problems to a person who already knows your systems, not a ticket queue.
How do monthly reviews work from North Carolina?
Video by default, on site across Spartanburg County when it's useful. The report is written either way, in dollars, and the review walks through it with you.
