P&N Tech

There's no easy way to describe what P&N Tech does. “We are one of the best-kept IT secrets in Baton Rouge,” says Director of Engineering Geoff Smarada. “There’s a whole lot to what we do.”

While it’s difficult to describe everything that P&N Tech does, what they do not do is implement technology for technology’s sake. The company, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Postlethwaite & Netterville, approaches solving technical problems from a business point of view. “We look at a client’s business and find ways to improve their operations by utilizing technology,” says Smarada.

Serving as a resource for businesses and governmental agencies seeking advice regarding their information systems, P&N Tech has the advantage of support from and collaboration with the largest Louisiana-based accounting and business advisory firm.

“A lot of technology firms aren’t going to be concerned with your line of credit, managing cash flow or your regulatory and compliance issues,” notes COO Michael Richmond. “We are business consultants looking at business matters, but we solve a lot of these issues with highly technical solutions.”

In the case of a local distribution company, P&N Tech was able to implement a wireless solution to facilitate the use of voice picking software to help streamline the company’s operations and optimize warehouse operations.

“We approach every client engagement with the intent to solve a business problem,” says Smarada. “This company needed a way to enable their drivers and warehouse personnel to track inventory and make pickups faster and more precise. We were able to leverage wireless technology in a way that would enhance their operations.”

Bringing more than 20 years of technical experience and expertise, both Smarada and Richmond are highly qualified to meet customer needs and develop new lines of service to solve a range of problems. With 25 employees, and business partners like Cisco, Microsoft and HP, P&N Tech works with small, mid-size and enterprise businesses throughout the Gulf Coast region.

“From the service delivery point, all of our resources, even at the highest level, are local,” says Richmond. “We have a level of certification and personalization that no other company in the marketplace can match.”
