AI Consultants in Western North Carolina
Blue Octopus Technology is based in Franklin, NC and serves businesses across Western North Carolina and nationwide. We build custom software, integrate AI, and automate workflows — explained in plain English.
Local Expertise, Modern Technology
Blue Octopus Technology is based in Franklin, North Carolina — in the heart of Western NC. We understand the businesses here because we live here. Mountain towns run on relationships, reputation, and hard work. Technology should amplify that, not complicate it. We build AI solutions and custom software for local businesses that want to work smarter without losing the personal touch that makes them successful.
What We Do
We help businesses in three ways: (1) Custom Software — purpose-built applications for your specific operations, not off-the-shelf tools that force you to change how you work. (2) AI Integration — practical AI that automates document processing, customer communication, data entry, and other repetitive tasks. (3) Workflow Automation — self-healing automations that connect your existing tools and eliminate manual steps. Everything is explained in plain English. No jargon, no upselling, no unnecessary complexity.
Industries We Serve in WNC
We work with businesses in any industry, but we have particular experience with real estate (community directories, lead management, property tools), home services and contractors (scheduling, invoicing, customer follow-up), dental and medical practices (patient communication, document processing), law firms (document automation, client intake), and accounting firms (data extraction, report generation). If your business has repetitive processes, we can help — regardless of industry.
Why Work With a Local Consultant
You could hire a consultant from a big city. They'll charge more, understand your market less, and disappear after the project. We're here. We answer our phone. We understand that a plumber in Waynesville has different needs than a tech startup in San Francisco. And because we're remote-first, we can serve you whether you're in Franklin, Asheville, Sylva, Highlands, or anywhere else in WNC — or nationwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be in Western NC to work with you?
No. We're remote-first and serve clients nationwide. Being based in WNC means we understand local businesses, but our work is entirely remote — video calls, screen shares, and collaborative tools.
