What Preisser Tech does for Salina businesses
Salina sits at the crossroads of I-70 and I-135 — a logistics and manufacturing hub anchored by Schwan's, Great Plains Manufacturing (now part of Kubota), Salina Regional Health Center, and Kansas Wesleyan University. The food-processing, ag-equipment, and healthcare base creates a steady demand for serious custom software that most local web shops can't deliver.
Preisser Tech supports Salina-area businesses directly. Hays is roughly 90 minutes west on I-70, and Tyler Preisser routinely makes the drive for scoping calls and milestone meetings.

Why a Hays-based firm makes sense for Salina
Salina is 90 minutes east of Hays on I-70. That proximity matters when scoping a custom software project — Preisser Tech routinely drives to Salina for in-person kickoff meetings, plant-floor walkthroughs, and milestone reviews.
Tyler Preisser personally understands the manufacturing and ag economy of central Kansas — the operational reality of a Great Plains-style equipment supplier or a food-processing back office is not an abstraction. That context is hard to source from coastal agencies pitching the same logo work to every metro.
