Cut the cloth. Run the seam. Pull the cord.
KHCshop LLC builds computer integrated systems the way a careful bench hand builds a pouch, one clean seam at a time. Our Nephi workbench at 440 E 100 N, Nephi - 84648-1512, United States (US) is where scattered hardware, tangled data and half finished handoffs are gathered into a single tidy drawstring. We are a small studio with a long table, a steady lamp and a habit of checking every hem line before the cord is pulled. See how the bench runs →
Plan a bench sessionSix services on one long seam
Open bench work-
Drawstring Desk
The Drawstring Desk is where every engagement starts. We spread the hardware, the networks and the half written requirements across the table, name each piece out loud, and tie them into one contract shaped pouch so nothing rolls away. Nothing leaves the desk until the inventory of systems, owners and dependencies has been signed off by both sides.
-
Hem Line Rounds
Hem Line Rounds are our walking inspections. Twice a week a designer sits at your bench, plugin and checklist in hand, and walks the edge of the running system to confirm every seam still meets the cloth. We log the edge conditions, the quiet failures and the graceful degradations so the hem stays flat long after we leave.
-
Stitch Band Weeks
A Stitch Band Week is a focused build sprint. Each day is bounded like a band of running stitches, short, even and easy to unpick, so the team always knows which thread it is pulling. At the end of the week the band is inspected in full and every loose end is either tied or deliberately left for the next band.
-
Batch Cut Days
Batch Cut Days are the moments we cut fresh scope into workable pieces. Instead of one giant promise we cut a batch of small, matched shapes that can each be hemmed in a day or two. The batch cut window is posted on the bench so the whole room can see what is being made and what is still waiting on the shelf.
-
Fold & Fill Sessions
Fold and Fill Sessions are how finished work reaches your people. We fold each delivered module into its own labeled pouch, fill in the runbooks, the access notes and the training walkthrough, then hand it over in a single sitting. You leave the room able to operate the system without calling us back for the obvious things.
-
Lacing Check Evenings
Lacing Check Evenings happen after the last client leaves, when we pull every cord tight and confirm the closures hold. We replay the day, review the logs, test the backups and record anything that needs a second pass. It is a quiet ritual that keeps the whole bench honest.
The next batch cut window opens on the first Monday of each month, when the whole bench is cleared for new cloth, new cords and new work.
A systems bench, not a software vending machine
Computer integrated systems design is the craft of joining hardware, data and people so they behave as one construction. Most vendors slap a bridge across the gaps and call it integration. We take the slower route: we sit at the bench, measure the join, cut the cloth to fit and test the seam until it carries weight.
What we actually join
Our bench is comfortable with shop floor sensors, warehouse scanners, accounting stacks, customer portals and the quiet middleware that carries messages between them. We map every endpoint, every owner and every failure mode before we write a single line. The mapping is drawn by hand first, then verified against the live estate.
When the map is clean we build the connective tissue. That might mean a batch reconciliation job that runs at four in the morning, a secure gateway between two vendors, or a small service that translates one team vocabulary into another. Each piece is cut to fit and tested at the bench before it ever touches production.
How the work stays visible
Every engagement carries a single pouch of truth: a living document that lists the open seams, the tied knots and the threads still hanging. You can read it at any time. We update it after each hem line round and after each stitch band week, so there is never a mystery about where the work stands.
Because the bench is small we know every project by name rather than by ticket number. You will speak to the same hands that cut the cloth and the same eyes that inspect the seam. That continuity is the whole point of hiring a craft studio instead of a body shop.
How a season at the bench unfolds
Work moves through the same six stages whether the job is a sensor network or a legacy migration. The names come from the bench because they describe what actually happens.
- Drawstring DeskWe gather the estate, name the pieces and write the pouch of truth with owners and risks.
- Hem Line RoundsWe walk the edge of the current system and log every rough place before we cut.
- Batch Cut DaysWe slice the scope into matched batches, each small enough to finish and test cleanly.
- Stitch Band WeeksWe build each batch in short, even runs and inspect the band at the end of every week.
- Fold & Fill SessionsWe fold each module into a labeled pouch with runbooks and hand it over in person.
- Lacing Check EveningsWe pull every cord, replay the logs and record the next round before we close the doors.
Why a Nephi bench
Nephi is a small town with a long habit of making things properly. That suits us. We keep a modest room, a long table and a few shared tools, and we spend the saved overhead on careful design instead of polished sales decks.
Clients come to us from professional services, manufacturing and public work because they are tired of integration projects that end in three overlapping dashboards and no single source of truth. We do the unglamorous part: the mapping, the reconciliation, the quiet tidying that makes the flashy parts behave.
We are honest about what a bench can and cannot do. When a job needs a large crew we say so. When a job needs one careful seam we take it ourselves. The bench is small on purpose, because small keeps the thread from tangling.

What clients notice first
The work is quiet, steady and legible. Three things tend to stand out during the first month.
