I partner with manufacturers, software companies, and logistics firms in St. Louis and beyond to implement AI strategies — including Microsoft Copilot and Glean — and ERP/CRM solutions that actually move the needle.
I'm Taylor Cane, founder of Cane Consulting LLC — an IT consulting practice built on the belief that technology should work for your business, not the other way around.
With deep expertise in AI implementation and ERP/CRM systems, I help organizations cut through complexity and deploy solutions that are practical, scalable, and tied to real results. Based in Saint Louis, I work with clients across the region and beyond.
Cane Consulting carries forward a family legacy of entrepreneurship — combining that foundation with a modern approach to digital transformation.
Practical consulting engagements — from strategy through implementation — tailored to organizations ready to move decisively.
Evaluate AI readiness, identify high-value use cases, and guide end-to-end implementation of AI tools that integrate with your existing stack and workflows.

Selection, configuration, and optimization of enterprise resource planning platforms — designed to eliminate silos and give you a real-time view of your operations.
Align your sales, marketing, and service teams around a single customer view. I help configure and deploy CRM platforms that people actually use.
Build a clear, prioritized technology roadmap that aligns IT investments with business goals — so leadership and IT are pulling in the same direction.

Hands-on support for technology rollouts, system upgrades, and day-to-day IT challenges — responsive, reliable, and built around your team's needs.
I'm Taylor Cane, a technology executive and consultant with over two decades of experience leading IT strategy, AI implementation, and large-scale ERP and CRM transformations across manufacturing, distribution, and technology companies.
Most recently as Vice President of Information Systems at The International Companies, I built an AI-ready analytics foundation using Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, and Teams-based natural language BI agents — and led ERP and CRM implementations across 18 locations and 3 companies. Before that, I spent 7 years at ITW Diagraph as Global IT Manager, leading international teams across North America, Europe, and Asia through two ERP projects, a major CRM overhaul, and a full cloud infrastructure migration.
Deep familiarity with the operational realities and technology landscapes of three key sectors.
From plant-floor integrations to supply chain visibility, I help manufacturers and distributors modernize operations without disrupting production.
Help software businesses scale their internal operations — from CRM and ERP alignment to AI tooling that accelerates product and go-to-market teams.
Optimize routing, inventory, and customer communication systems to handle scale, complexity, and the relentless pace of modern logistics.
I start by listening. Understanding your current state, pain points, and goals before recommending anything.
A clear, practical roadmap with prioritized actions — no jargon, no unnecessary complexity.
Hands-on execution alongside your team — not just advice handed off and forgotten.
Ensuring your team is confident in the new system and the solution continues to deliver value over time.
Unlike large consulting firms, I'm not selling you a platform or filling seats. I'm invested in the outcome — because my reputation depends on it.
