SparkForge does onsite network installation (structured cabling, managed switches, enterprise Wi-Fi) and builds custom AI automation that runs on the hardware we just set up. You own it all. No subscriptions, no middlemen, no finger-pointing when something breaks.
Most businesses have cobbled together their IT over time: consumer gear, a cloud tool here, an MSP that manages the switches but won't touch the software. It works until it doesn't. We handle the physical network and the automation layer, from one team.
Dead zones in the warehouse, no VLAN separation, consumer router handling business traffic. Build automation on this and it fails at random times for reasons that are hard to diagnose.
Template tools are fine for simple stuff. When you need custom logic, your own data sources, or anything that doesn't fit the pre-built blocks, you hit the ceiling fast and start paying per-task for a workaround that half-works.
Piping customer data or internal business logic through third-party SaaS is a bet that those vendors will keep their house in order. Self-hosted means you control what leaves the building.
ISP owns the handoff. MSP owns the switches. Software vendor owns the automation. When something breaks at the seam between those, everyone has a reason it's not their problem.
Structured cabling and switch config through custom AI agents and automation pipelines. We do the physical work and the software work, and we're responsible for both.
We design for your actual space, pull the cable, rack the hardware, and configure everything. Managed switches, VLANs, firewalls, enterprise Wi-Fi. Not plug-in-and-hope. Designed for what's running on it.
Onsite · HardwareCoverage planning, separate SSIDs for staff and guests, NAC to keep random devices off the business network. The access point placement matters. So does the config behind it.
Wi-Fi · NAC · VLANsBuilt for your workflows, your data, your edge cases. These aren't off-the-shelf tools with your logo on the login screen. They run on your servers, they fail gracefully, and they do exactly what you actually need them to do.
Self-hosted · Custom logicSpec, source, rack, configure. Storage, hypervisors, the compute that your automation actually runs on. You own the hardware outright. No monthly bill for the privilege of using your own machine.
Rack · Configure · DeployYour CRM, your ERP, your internal databases with the weird schema. Not just clean public APIs. The messy integrations that most automation vendors won't touch because they require actual engineering.
APIs · Data pipelinesMonthly retainers for monitoring, maintenance, and ongoing development. One team, one call. We built it, we know how it works, and we're accountable when something needs attention.
Monitoring · MaintenanceMSPs manage switches but don't build software. Software agencies build automation but assume the network is fine. When something breaks between those two worlds, both vendors point at the other one. We're one team across both, so there's nobody to blame but us.
Automation that depends on a flaky foundation fails in ways that are hard to trace. Before we write any software, we make sure the underlying network is actually solid. Right switches, right segmentation, real uptime. The software layer inherits whatever's underneath it.
Running your own servers isn't hard once you've done it a few times. The first time is where people get hurt: storage architecture decisions that can't be undone, backup strategies that never get tested, security that was "good enough" until it wasn't. We've made those mistakes already.
A Zapier workflow that fails without alerting anyone doesn't save time. It creates problems you find out about later. We build software that handles errors, retries, logs what happened, and tells someone when it needs attention.
Every SaaS subscription is a recurring cost you pay forever. Owned infrastructure is a one-time capital expense that keeps running. The longer you run it, the better the math looks. Subscriptions don't work like that.
"We're not the right fit for everyone. If you need a quick Zapier workflow, hire someone cheaper. If you're looking at a real infrastructure problem: unreliable network, data you can't send to the cloud, automation that needs to actually work. That's the conversation we're built for."
We want to understand what you're running and what's broken before we recommend anything. For network work, that means showing up onsite. For automation work, it means talking through the actual workflow, not the idealized version.
We look at what you actually have, not what's on the diagram. For network work this means an onsite walk. For automation, it means understanding the real process, not the one people describe when they're being optimistic.
Network layout, hardware spec, automation architecture. Everything documented before hardware gets ordered or a line of code gets written. Changes are cheap at this stage.
We show up with tools. Pull cable, terminate, rack hardware, configure switches and firewalls, deploy access points. Physical layer done before anything runs on it.
Software built for the workflows we documented in discovery, on the infrastructure we installed. Integrated with your actual data sources and tested against real edge cases, not the happy path.
Monthly retainer if you want it. Network monitoring, system maintenance, new automation work. Same team that built it, which makes troubleshooting a lot faster.
"We built the automation stack we use for our own operations first. Then we started deploying it for clients. Everything runs on hardware the client owns. Same network we installed, same servers we racked. One team responsible for all of it."
We're a good fit for businesses that have real infrastructure problems, care about owning their stack, and want one team accountable for all of it. If that's you, send an email.
We respond within one business day. First call is 30 minutes.
Most small business installs are 1-3 days onsite. That covers cabling, switches, firewall config, and Wi-Fi. Larger spaces with multiple floors or complex segmentation requirements get scoped individually after the discovery walk.
We spec it, source it if you want, install it, and configure it. It's purchased in your name. You own it outright. We don't lease equipment or retain any ownership.
No per-task fees, no templates, no data leaving your network. We build actual software for your specific workflows running on hardware you control. When Zapier raises prices or kills an integration, it's not your problem.
A one-time build fee plus an optional monthly retainer. No per-seat or per-task billing after that. For businesses spending $500-5k/month on SaaS automation, it usually pays for itself within 12-18 months.
Yes. If your network is solid we build on top of it. If it's not, we tell you that during discovery before we touch anything. We're not going to sell you a rip-and-replace if you don't need one.
Monthly retainer clients get monitoring and support. If you go without a retainer, we're still available on a time-and-materials basis. Either way, we built the whole system and know how it works, so troubleshooting is fast.
