Quincy Mfg Achieves 100% Operational Readiness in 1-Day with 96 Firm and JumpCloud

Quincy Manufacturing is a Michigan-based sports manufacturer specializing in modern methods powered by CNC machinery and robotics to produce high-performance skateboards. As the company transitioned into an independent business operation, Quincy needed to rapidly establish its own IT environment without slowing down production. To make that transition possible, Quincy partnered with 96 Firm to set up a centralized, cloud-managed infrastructure by migrating to JumpCloud.

Building an Independent IT Foundation

Before partnering with 96 Firm, Quincy Manufacturing operated within a shared IT environment tied to another organization. Quincy needed to quickly establish a secure, independent infrastructure while ensuring manufacturing operations continued uninterrupted.

This transition presented several critical challenges. The IT team needed to migrate identities, devices, and Microsoft 365 resources into a standalone environment. They had to achieve this while maintaining seamless employee access and preventing production floor downtime. At the same time, Quincy’s manufacturing operations relied on a diverse mix of laptops, tablets, CNC systems and robotics equipment requiring centralized oversight and support.

Furthermore, because Quincy operates in Michigan and 96 Firm operates out of California, the team had to manage the entire implementation remotely through cloud-based administration.

Executing an Overnight Migration to JumpCloud

Having previously worked closely with Quincy’s leadership team, Ricky Jordan, founder of 96 Firm, understood the urgency of the transition. Using JumpCloud’s cloud-native platform, 96 Firm designed and executed a complete overnight migration, moving Quincy from a shared environment into a fully independent infrastructure in a single evening.

This migration included identity management, endpoint setup, Microsoft 365 integration, and device management for the company’s operational systems. By the next business day, Quincy employees logged into a fully operational new environment without missing a single production schedule.

We needed to separate from a shared environment quickly, but we couldn’t afford downtime on the manufacturing side. 96 Firm and JumpCloud helped us complete the transition overnight while keeping our operations running smoothly.

Centralizing IT Across the Manufacturing Floor

Following the migration, Quincy Manufacturing gained a centralized dashboard to manage users, devices, and operational assets. By consolidating these functions, the company reduced projected IT operational costs by an estimated 30% compared to managing fragmented tools separately.

The partnership also revolutionized Quincy’s asset management practices. Instead of relying on manual spreadsheets and disconnected tracking processes, the team now maintains real-time visibility into equipment through centralized inventory management, QR code tagging, and location tracking workflows. In the manufacturing industry, tracking specialized, high-value assets like CNC routers and robotics is critical. This modernized oversight ensures strict maintenance schedules, prevents costly floor downtime, and simplifies safety compliance audits.

Furthermore, the ability to manage infrastructure remotely across state lines proved invaluable.

The beauty of this partnership is that distance has become irrelevant. Managing a complex manufacturing environment from 2,000 miles away is only possible when you have a platform like JumpCloud that provides a single, reliable point of truth for every device and identity on the floor.

With 96 Firm supporting the environment from California, Quincy significantly reduced the need for expensive on-site IT overhead while maintaining highly responsive support and operational continuity.

What stood out most was how quickly everything came together. We now have a centralized environment that is easier to manage, more secure, and built to support the way our teams operate.

Supporting Future Growth

As Quincy Manufacturing continues to expand, its IT infrastructure perfectly positions the company to scale. The company expects to grow the workforce while continuously modernizing manufacturing operations and connected systems.

With support from 96 Firm, Quincy now relies on a cloud-managed foundation powered by JumpCloud. They are capable of supporting rapid growth, remote administration, and evolving operational requirements, all without the burden of fragmented IT.
