Management and Engineering Services

What Management and Engineering Services does

Management and Engineering Services, LLC (MES) is a privately held environmental and safety consulting firm founded in 1989 by Craig Erickson and headquartered in Longmont, Colorado. The company operates two integrated businesses: (1) a regulatory and ISO compliance consulting practice serving federal and state agencies — including the National Park Service, USDA Forest Service, and Fish and Wildlife Service — and private concessioners on government-managed lands, and (2) a proprietary enterprise software platform branded as Integrated Management Solutions, delivered as a web-based suite hosted on the company's own secure infrastructure and accessed via single sign-on through ms3.network.

The software platform is built entirely in-house by MES engineers without dependency on commercial packages and unifies three product lines: the Compliance Management Suite (ISO 14001 Environmental, ISO 45001 Safety, ISO 22000 Food Safety, ISO 50001 Energy, ISO 46001 Water Efficiency, ISO 14046 Water Footprint, and ISO 9001 Quality Management), the Contract Management Suite for concessioners, and MS3 CMMS (a Computerized Maintenance Management System first released in 2005). All applications share a common centralized database, with 2020 enhancements adding two-step authentication aligned to ISO 27001 and NIST SP 800-53 federal security controls. The platform is supported by two pending patents: MS3 Delta Driven Database (No. 16/830,682) and MS3 Training Management Systems (No. 62/884,259).

Revenue derives from professional services engagements (environmental assessments, ISO implementation and auditing, proposal development, technical writing, and graphic/branding support) and recurring enterprise software licensing of Integrated Management Solutions. MES holds continuous ISO certifications itself since 2001, is a Gold Leader in the Colorado Environmental Leadership Program since 2002, and has received EPA and Department of Defense awards; the firm operates on a founder-led, employee-owned basis with no outside institutional investment.

Emerging players

• SafetyCulture: SafetyCulture (iAuditor) provides mobile inspection, safety, and quality management software. Comparable to MES's ISO 45001 safety management module and Compliance Management Suite for safety audits and inspections, though SafetyCulture targets a broader and more modern mobile-first audience.
• Fiix (by Rockwell Automation): Fiix is a cloud-based CMMS platform for maintenance, asset, and work order management. Directly comparable to MES's MS3 CMMS product for facilities and equipment maintenance, but built as modern multi-tenant SaaS rather than MES's in-house legacy stack.
• UpKeep: UpKeep is a mobile-first CMMS and asset operations management platform. Comparable to MS3 CMMS for maintenance scheduling, work orders, and parts inventory, but positioned as a modern cloud-native alternative targeting similar facility and operations use cases.

Direct peers

• Intelex Technologies: Intelex provides EHS and quality management software with modules for environmental compliance, safety, and operational risk. Comparable to MES's Compliance Management Suite and EHS consulting practice, targeting enterprise customers pursuing ISO certification and regulatory compliance.
• VelocityEHS: VelocityEHS provides cloud-based EHS and sustainability software including environmental management, safety, and compliance modules. Directly comparable to MES's Compliance Management Suite, serving similar mid-market and enterprise customers pursuing ISO 14001/45001 compliance, though at significantly larger scale.
• IsoMetrix: IsoMetrix provides EHS, sustainability, and governance, risk and compliance (GRC) software with strong environmental and safety modules. Comparable to MES's integrated Compliance Management approach, particularly for organizations managing ISO-aligned management systems across multiple standards.
• ProcessMAP: ProcessMAP is an EHS software platform offering environmental, safety, and sustainability management modules. Comparable to MES's Compliance Management Suite, particularly for enterprise customers integrating ISO 14001/45001 with operational workflows.
• Cority: Cority (formerly Medgate) offers an integrated EHSQ platform covering environmental, health, safety, and quality management. Closely comparable to MES's ISO-based Compliance Management Suite across environmental, safety, and quality management with similar enterprise buyer personas.

Broad incumbents

• ServiceNow EHS Management: ServiceNow's platform includes EHS and operational risk modules on its Now Platform, overlapping with MES's CMMS and compliance workflows. Comparable as a workflow/asset management platform but competes in a much broader enterprise IT service management context.
• Sphera (formerly Wolters Kluwer Enablon): Sphera offers a broad enterprise EHS, operational risk, and product stewardship software portfolio. Comparable to MES's Compliance Management Suite as a broader incumbent serving large enterprises with deeper resources, but spanning many more verticals than MES's federal/concessioner focus.
