SYMPHONY DEVELOPMENT GROUP

What SYMPHONY DEVELOPMENT GROUP does

Symphony Development Group is a privately held, founder-led professional services firm founded in 2011 by Paul King (CEO) and headquartered in San Francisco, with additional offices in Bennington, Vermont and Mooresville, North Carolina. The company specialises in the implementation, integration, and ongoing support of Cin7 Core and Cin7 Omni inventory management and manufacturing software, complemented by cloud accounting migration and fractional CFO services built around Xero and QuickBooks Online.

The core service portfolio spans Cin7 implementation (delivered in a stated 4–6 week rapid-deployment window), custom API development for non-native e-commerce, 3PL, CRM, EDI, and payment integrations, on-site manufacturing process reviews with configuration of the Cin7 Core Advanced Manufacturing module (batch, serialization, mass, job shop, cellular, and lean production), legacy accounting migrations from NetSuite, Sage, QuickBooks Desktop, and Microsoft Dynamics/Great Plains, and fractional CFO work. The technology backbone relies on Cin7's platform APIs combined with SDG's proprietary API integration layer and tools such as Inventoro (AI-powered forecasting) and Easy-Insights reporting. Partnerships include certified Cin7 (Core/Omni) channel partner status, Xero Gold Partner status, and a Minor technology relationship with QuickBooks Online.

The business model is project-and-retainer professional services, quote-based, with revenue concentrated in North America. Customer mix spans SMB to mid-market manufacturers, e-commerce operators, and select enterprise accounts (e.g., Avonix Imaging, a Nikon subsidiary), with multi-year retained relationships. The company is bootstrapped and founder-controlled, with no external investors disclosed.
