About Southport Solutions
A Franklin, Tennessee technology firm built and led by software engineers. Custom applications, workflow automation, systems integration, and managed IT, delivered by the people who actually do the work.
Who We Are
Technology Architects. Microsoft-Native.
Southport Solutions is a Franklin, Tennessee-based technology firm specializing in custom application development, workflow automation, systems integration, and managed IT services. We have served healthcare practices, veterinary organizations, nonprofits, and growing businesses since 2018.
Southport is built and led by software engineers. That is intentional. We approach every engagement, from a single support ticket to a custom platform, with an engineer’s mindset: understand the system, then build or fix it properly. There is no offshore execution and no account manager standing between you and the people doing the work.
We are a Microsoft Partner and Cloud Solution Provider, building and managing on the platform most of our clients already use.
Southport Solutions is a certified LGBT Business Enterprise (LGBTBE) through the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), certification #17129.
This certification recognizes LGBT-owned businesses that meet rigorous standards for ownership, control, and operation. For organizations with supplier diversity programs or a commitment to working with certified minority-owned businesses, Southport Solutions qualifies as a verified LGBTBE vendor.
We are members of the Tennessee Pride Chamber and active participants in the NGLCC supplier diversity network.
