Start a conversation Capability statement

Services built around how work actually moves.

Three practice areas with one approach behind them: understand the work first, then build the fix your team can run.

Operations modernization

We document how work really happens, find where it stalls and redesign it with the people who do it.

Process discovery and mapping

Current-state maps built with the people doing the work, not copied from the procedure manual.

Fit-gap and requirements

Clear requirements before you buy or configure anything, so the system fits the operation.

ERP and SAP implementation support

Process mapping, data validation and cutover readiness for large system rollouts.

Workflow redesign

Handoffs defined, decision rights clear and rework taken out.

Automation and AI integration

We automate what's repetitive and add AI where it helps, with the controls your compliance team will ask about.

AI agents and assistants

Answer routine questions from your own documents, cite sources and decline what they shouldn't answer.

Workflow automation

Connect the tools you already pay for and end the copy-paste between them.

Intelligent intake and routing

Requests, orders and inquiries sorted and routed without anyone triaging an inbox.

Governance built in

Human review where it matters and a log of every action.

Custom applications and analytics

When the spreadsheet has become the system, we build the real one.

Internal tools and web apps

Purpose-built apps that replace fragile workbooks and costly subscriptions.

Forecasting and planning

Models that are backtested honestly and explain their picks.

Readiness and exception dashboards

Red, yellow and green views that show what needs attention before it's late.

Data cleanup and integration

APIs, migration and validation so reports can be trusted.

Adoption and change management

Part of every engagement. A tool nobody uses has no value.

User acceptance testing

Your team tests against real scenarios before anything goes live.

SOPs and documentation

Written for the people who run the process, not for us.

Training

Hands-on sessions plus short recorded walkthroughs.

Stakeholder alignment

Leadership and the front line agree on the problem before the fix lands.

For small and local businesses

Fast websites that turn visitors into calls, plus answer engine optimization so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews recommend you when customers ask.

Common questions

Short answers to what people ask us first.

What does Naxos Innovations do?

Naxos Innovations is a veteran-owned firm in San Diego County, California. We modernize operations through process improvement, workflow automation, AI integration and custom application development, and we stay through training and handoff.

Who do you work with?

Small and mid-sized businesses, California public agencies and prime contractors who need a certified DVBE teaming partner. Most of our team's experience comes from aerospace, defense, commercial aviation and logistics operations.

Do we have to buy new software?

No. We're solution-agnostic and take no vendor commissions. Sometimes the right answer is a tool you already own, a small custom build, or a simpler process with no new software at all.

Who owns what you build?

You do. Code, documentation and workflows are handed over at the end of the engagement, and your AI subscriptions stay in your name.

How is pricing handled?

Every engagement is scoped and quoted before work starts, so there are no surprises. Reach out and we'll talk through what you need.

Are you certified for government work?

Naxos Innovations is a certified California Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) and Small Business (Micro) through DGS, and is registered in SAM.gov. Our SBA VetCert (SDVOSB) application is under review.

Start a conversation Capability statement

Built by people who've done the work.

Naxos Innovations started in 2025 in San Diego. We'd spent years inside aerospace and satellite operations watching good people lose hours to broken processes, and we knew how to fix it.

David Lemons

CEO

David leads strategy, AI implementation and application development. He served more than five years as a U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman supporting sailors and Marines, with deployments in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and Inherent Resolve.

After the Navy he earned a bachelor's at Cal State San Marcos and an MBA in Management Information Systems, with an emphasis in data analytics, at Cal State LA. He's spent the years since building planning and automation tools in aerospace operations, including process work on a full-scale SAP ERP implementation.

He's a named inventor on a published international patent application for a supply allocation optimization engine (WO 2026/161050).

Jack Bradley

COO

Jack runs delivery operations and leads data analytics and process improvement work. His background is procurement operations, supplier management and material reconciliation across contract manufacturers and 3PL partners, including a multimillion-dollar reconciliation of mis-invoiced material.

He holds a bachelor's in Logistics, Materials and Supply Chain Management from Arizona State University's W. P. Carey School of Business and is certified in Tableau and applied data analysis.

What we hold ourselves to.

These come from watching what made past projects stick, and what made them fail.

Diagnose before prescribing

We carry no vendor relationships and take no commissions. The fix gets chosen after we understand the problem.

You own what we build

Documentation, training and handoff are planned from day one. Nothing depends on us sticking around.

Honest about fit

If a project isn't right for us, or doesn't need doing at all, we'll tell you.

Why the name? Naxos is a Greek island, the place you'd rather be.

We build the systems that keep things running while you're there. Be there. We'll be here.
