Automating Business
Processes with Modern Technology

Rancher Navy, the Texas 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides disaster relief to farmers, ranchers and agricultural communities, has mobilized a coordinated relief effort for families affected by the Ross Fire in Texas. The organization is accepting requests for assistance, matching donated supplies to the operations that need them, and asking for volunteer haulers with trucks and trailers.

The fire has burned pasture, fencing and structures, leaving livestock producers without feed and without the fencing needed to contain animals. Rancher Navy is working with affected families to identify what has been lost and to move replacement supplies from donors across the region.

How to Get Help

Farm and ranch families affected by the Ross Fire can request assistance at ranchernavy.org. Families in immediate danger should follow the instructions of county emergency officials first.

How to Help

Rancher Navy is asking for three kinds of support, all coordinated through ranchernavy.org:

• Donations of supplies: hay, feed, fencing, panels, water and veterinary supplies. Donors list what they have and where it is located; Rancher Navy handles the matching.
• Haulers: volunteers with a truck and trailer to move loads between donors and affected families. This is the organization’s most urgent need.
• Coordination of volunteers: people who can take calls, track requests and keep records current from wherever they are.

Financial contributions can be made at ranchernavy.org.

Coordinated Through Support Beacon Relief™

The response is being run on Support Beacon Relief, a disaster-logistics platform that gives Rancher Navy a single record of every load from the moment it is offered to the moment it is delivered — replacing the phone trees and spreadsheets that have historically carried this work. Volunteers, donors, haulers and recipients register at ranchernavy.org and work from a web portal or a mobile app.

Support Beacon Relief was designed and developed by shared resources from Fuzion Consulting Group and Fuzion Chickasaw Group, in partnership with Rancher Navy, and is licensed to the nonprofit at no cost. Fuzion support staff are available to Rancher Navy volunteers by phone and email for the duration of the response.

The platform has supported prior Rancher Navy operations, including the Kerrville, Texas flood response and the Ranger Road fire response.

The skilled teams and manufacturing pride behind heritage bootmaking

A visit centered on learning, relationships, and respect for tradition

Fuzion Consulting Group and Fuzion Chickasaw Group recently visited Anderson Bean Boot Company and Rios of Mercedes Boots in Mercedes, Texas — two iconic American brands recognized for craftsmanship, heritage, and a commitment to quality.

The visit was hosted by Ryan Vaughan, President & CEO, and Clayton Evans, Chief Financial Officer of Rios of Mercedes, and coordinated through Michael Wright of The Shoe & Boot Outlet. It offered an in-depth look at the boot-making process and the skilled teams behind each pair.

The visit carried a personal connection: Fuzion’s leadership has a longstanding appreciation for American-made craftsmanship — a value shared by Fuzion developer Prag Padilla, an avid collector of U.S.-made boots. Fuzion also recognizes the thoughtful work already underway at these brands, including their adoption of SAP Business One.

Fuzion approached the visit with no expectation of immediate engagement — only a desire to learn, listen, and understand — and thanks both teams for their hospitality and transparency.

Fuzion provided assessment, stabilization, and ongoing support for a U.S. electric utility’s project management information system (PMIS).

Scope of Work

• Application architecture, integration, and operational risk assessment.

Fuzion developed a project charter and a structured functional requirements framework to support a U.S. electric utility’s platform evaluation.

The effort supported an enterprise-wide strategic evaluation — whether to continue investing in existing platforms or transition to commercial SaaS alternatives — and required a formal, defensible, and traceable documentation package.

Key Challenges

• Lack of standardized, traceable requirements across business units.
• Need to support enterprise-level platform evaluation decisions.
• Complex alignment across multiple business units and corporate IT.

What We Delivered

• project management system IT Project Charter aligned with enterprise governance standards.

• Established a scalable foundation for future operational automation.

Fuzion was engaged to modernize and automate two mission-critical SharePoint libraries — an equipment specification library and a plant document library — that support engineering standards, procedures, and plant documentation for generation projects and planned maintenance outages.

The goal was a single, centralized, and standardized location for managing generation documents and specifications in a regulated utility environment, aligned with other automation initiatives.

Key Challenges

• Fragmented document and specification management across systems.
• Limited traceability and governance in a regulated environment.
• Need to align the two libraries with broader generation automation initiatives.

What We Delivered

• Modernized the two SharePoint libraries with structured metadata and taxonomy.

• Supported consistent execution of maintenance work and the broader modernization strategy.

Fuzion was engaged by a large electric utility to design and deliver a new document lifecycle management system — a mission-critical platform governing processes, procedures, and policies across the utility’s generation operations.

The new platform replaced fragmented, manual, email-driven document governance with a structured, auditable, role-based system that manages documents throughout their entire lifecycle — creation, review, approval, publication, and long-term maintenance — all within the utility’s Microsoft 365 environment.

Key Challenges

• Fragmented, manual, and email-driven document governance processes.
• Limited auditability, centralized control, and lifecycle visibility.
• Compliance requirements in a regulated generation environment.

What We Delivered

• Custom Power Apps–based document lifecycle application with structured intake, automated document numbering and naming, and strict version control.
• Role-based workflows for Drafters, Collaborators, Reviewers, Approvers, and Administrators with actionable Outlook and Teams notifications.
• Centralized SharePoint repositories with structured metadata and permanent audit history.
• Power BI dashboards for status, cycle time, and compliance, plus automated Biennial Review tracking and user training materials.

Business Impact

• Centralized governance of processes, procedures, and policies.
• Eliminated manual tracking and email-driven approvals; strengthened audit readiness and regulatory compliance.
• Established a scalable foundation for long-term digital governance across the generation fleet.

The project governance SharePoint library is a centralized platform providing a single source of truth for project processes, stage-gate lifecycle guidance, and engineering standards across utility operations.

Key Challenges

• Dispersed project management processes and documentation.
• Lack of standardized governance across project lifecycle stages.
• Need for centralized access to engineering standards and operational guidance.

What We Delivered

• Implemented a centralized SharePoint platform for project governance.
• Consolidated Stage Gate lifecycle, standards, and specifications into a single hub.

• Lack of standardized, scalable training across generation operations.

What We Delivered

• Designed and implemented a centralized training and enablement framework.
• Replaced legacy materials with AI-enabled training videos and documentation.
• Standardized adoption processes across multiple utility platforms.

Why It Matters

Smoother adoption and lasting change across multiple utility systems — equipping the workforce to use new tools confidently.

Support Beacon Relief is live and in use by Rancher Navy for relief operations, including the Ross Fire response. The platform was designed and developed by shared resources from Fuzion Consulting Group and Fuzion Chickasaw Group, in partnership with Rancher Navy, and is licensed to the nonprofit at no cost.

Historical Delivery and Testing Milestone · 2026

Fuzion delivered the platform to the founders of Rancher Navy for hands-on field testing — at no charge — as communities across the Texas Hill Country marked one year since the catastrophic July 4, 2025, flooding along the Guadalupe River. That testing milestone is part of the platform’s history, not its current operational status.

Support Beacon Relief is a disaster relief logistics and volunteer coordination platform born from Fuzion’s nonprofit partnership with Rancher Navy — founded by Morgan Broome, Amy Houston Gaddis, and Holli Geeslin.

Fuzion worked closely with Rancher Navy to automate spreadsheet-driven logistics used to coordinate hay donations, volunteer drivers, disaster locations, and delivery timelines — replacing manual coordination with real-time visibility and automation.

Key Challenges

• Manual coordination of disaster relief using spreadsheets and phone calls.
• Limited scalability across multi-state operations and growing response volume.
• Need for secure, real-time logistics and volunteer management.

What We Delivered

• Designed and developed a scalable disaster response logistics platform (Support Beacon).
• Automated coordination of donations, volunteers, routes, and delivery tracking.
• Built a cloud-based system leveraging AWS, AI tools, and mobile application support.

Looking Ahead

Support Beacon Logistics is a separate internal product initiative jointly developed by Fuzion Consulting Group and Fuzion Chickasaw Group, not a delivered Rancher Navy client project. It remains in development, with a current target of Spring 2027. Earlier enterprise-development plans cited Fall 2027; that historical target does not describe Relief’s current live operations.

Support Beacon Rescue is a dedicated Search & Rescue (SAR) application built to support Rancher Navy’s volunteer Search and Rescue operations, other nonprofits, and tribal nations.

Support Beacon Rescue extends the Support Beacon platform into field coordination for ground teams — helping SAR volunteers organize deployments, track team locations and assignments, and coordinate searches with the same secure, real-time visibility that Support Beacon Relief brings to disaster-relief logistics.

The application was inspired by Rancher Navy’s volunteer Search and Rescue team, whose members answered the call during the July 4, 2025, Guadalupe River flooding in the Texas Hill Country. Fuzion intends to make Support Beacon Rescue available to nonprofit SAR organizations and tribal nations.

Looking Ahead

Support Beacon Rescue is currently in testing within Fuzion’s SB217Platform platform suite. Within the same suite, Support Beacon Relief is live with Rancher Navy for relief operations, while the separate enterprise product, Support Beacon Logistics, remains in development.
