Over 50 years of making technology work for the organizations that use it.
HVE is a product company that also consults. The same experience that went into building Vegetable Production Management (VPM) and RealTime Sales Enablement (RTSE) is available to organizations with their own problems to solve — whether that's connecting a legacy ERP to modern analytics, implementing Microsoft Power Platform, or figuring out where AI fits into their actual workflows.
We work across industries. Agriculture is where we've built our most recent products. It's not the limit of where we work.
Business Process and Information Technology Implementation Consulting
The full engagement — from understanding the problem to building and implementing the solution.
Traditional Process Analysis and Design / Redesign
Understanding how work actually gets done — not how it's supposed to get done — before recommending any technology. Process analysis, workflow mapping, gap identification, and redesign grounded in operational reality.
System Fit / Gap Analysis
Evaluating whether an existing or proposed system actually fits your operation — or leaves gaps that will require workarounds, customization, or parallel processes. Honest assessment before commitment.
Project Budgeting and Planning
Realistic scoping, sequencing, and budgeting for technology implementations. Experience across small business and large enterprise gives a practical sense of what things actually cost and how long they actually take.
Project Management and Implementation Support
Hands-on engagement through delivery — not just advisory at the start and a report at the end. Stakeholder management, vendor coordination, change management, and the organizational work that determines whether implementations succeed.
Data and Systems Integration
Connecting systems around data — from legacy ERP environments to modern cloud platforms. API-level integration, data warehouse design, real-time data connectivity, and the middleware work that makes disparate systems behave as one.
Custom Power Platform / Dataverse Development
Purpose-fit solutions built on Microsoft's modern application development stack. Model-driven apps for structured data management, Canvas apps for operational workflows, Power Automate for process automation, Power BI for analytics and reporting, and Copilot Studio for AI-assisted interactions.
Implementing and Leveraging AI Connectivity to Back-End Systems
Making your existing data and systems queryable by AI tools — so that the AI products your team already has access to can answer questions about your actual operation, not just general knowledge. Connecting Dataverse, SQL, ERP, and other data repositories to AI tools via MCP, API, and middleware frameworks.
