About Kapex

Kapex provides senior technology leadership for growing businesses that need clear direction about what to fix, buy, or build—not another vendor pitch or a build-first agency.

Marv Lasnick leads every engagement directly. When a project needs additional capacity or specialized skills, trusted contractors are brought in deliberately—never as a substitute for senior judgment.

Kapex works best with owners, operators, and founders—often at organizations with 10 to 100 people, or early teams building something new—who value clarity and follow-through over flashy tech for its own sake.

Industry experience

Kapex has supported growing businesses across a range of industries where operations, systems, and technology have to work in the real world—including:

  • Human resources
  • Animal AgTech
  • Fitness
  • Investment management
  • Claims management
  • Healthcare
  • Water pump systems field operations

How we help you get clarity

Most owners we work with aren't short on technology options—they're short on direction. Growth adds pressure, tools multiply, and decisions stall because no one inside the business has the time or authority to own them.

Kapex starts with your situation, not a solution looking for a problem. We clarify what's actually broken or unclear, how work really flows between people and departments, and what would help most. From there we recommend the simplest effective path—fix, align, buy, or build—in that order, only as needed. You get clear tradeoffs and a practical plan before you lock in vendors, platforms, or custom development.

Using AI effectively on your team

More teams are using AI for technology questions, quick fixes, and day-to-day changes—and that can be a real advantage. The risk isn't AI itself; it's acting on answers without context, ownership, or a clear picture of what the business actually needs.

Kapex helps leadership and teams use AI where it saves time and sharpens thinking—and know where human judgment, process, and relationships still matter most. The goal isn't dependency on us or on a tool; it's a team that moves faster on routine work and spends more energy on what differentiates you.

When we build and automate

Custom software isn't the default. When it's the right answer, we deliver focused internal tools or customer-facing products—scoped to the need, not a platform rewrite.

When automation is enough, we use Microsoft Power Platform. When custom work is warranted, AI-assisted development helps us deliver faster and more affordably—while scope, ownership, and follow-through still come first.

Engagements

Work typically takes one of three shapes:

  • Technology leadership & direction — priorities, roadmaps, build-vs-buy, and vendor evaluation with clear recommendations leadership can act on, including practical guidance on how your team can use AI effectively without losing ownership of important decisions
  • Process & systems alignment — document how work flows across the business, then align systems and processes so technology supports the work
  • Focused software & automation — custom software when it truly fits, or Microsoft Power Platform automation when that's the faster right answer

Engagements are sized to the problem. You work with experienced leadership throughout—not a rotating bench of juniors.
