About

We don't deliver decks. We deliver operations.

M-II Operations is a tech-enabled Fractional COO firm based in Waxahachie, Texas. Our outputs land in your shared drive (SOPs, scorecards, process maps, roadmaps your team can use Monday morning) and our software lands in your browser.

Randy Derrick
Founder & COO

Twenty years of operations, project, and facilities leadership across public safety, construction, and nonprofit settings. The work hasn't been theoretical. It's been daily reps, on real jobs, with real teams, and real budgets to defend.

Founded and scaled a public-safety procurement and vehicle upfitting company from a 60-square-foot mobile setup to a 2,500-square-foot facility. Managed $750K+ contracts and a $2M+ project portfolio. Built the operating systems before "operating systems" was a buzzword on LinkedIn.

Born and raised in Texas. Author of three Christian books. Father, husband, builder. The M-II app suite is the software-side answer to the operating systems Randy built (and rebuilt) through twenty years of running real jobs.

A note from the Founder

I have founded a half dozen companies over the years. Some of them probably never should have made it out of the idea phase. Others became so successful that I had to step away from a full-time guaranteed income to go full-time into my own business. I spent years growing some of these into things that supported my family and the families of the people who worked for me. I learned a lot of hard lessons along the way. Over twenty years of hard lessons.

The frustration you feel as a founder, I have felt. The mistrust of putting somebody in charge of your business, I get it. I understand what it is like to put years of work into something you can be proud of.

As a Fractional COO, my job is not to come in and tell you how you need to change your business. My job is to come in and tell you what your business needs in order to stay the course, to grow, and to mature into what you have always envisioned it being.

— Randy Derrick, Founder & COO
How M-II software gets built

Apps for our clients. Then for everyone else.

Every app in the M-II suite starts the same way: a real client running a real business hits a wall their existing tools cannot solve. We build them what they need. They use it. We refine it. Then we release it. It is why M-II Build is the only app currently public. The others are still earning their stripes inside live client engagements.

How we operate

The way we work.

Documents over decks

If it isn't written down, it isn't a process.

KPIs over vibes

The metrics that matter, defined and instrumented.

Authority where earned

Defined operating authority through written agreement.

Real businesses only

Owner-operated businesses with annual revenue under $10M. The middle the consulting industry forgot.

Founder-friendly economics

The audit is $998, not $50K. M-II Build is $99/seat, not $999.

Long horizons

Build engagements set the foundation. Monitor & Maintain keeps it standing.

Multiple vendor trucks lined up at a jobsite: M-II's typical client environment.
Where we work

Headquartered in Waxahachie. Working everywhere.

Most engagements are remote-first with on-site quarters. We travel for the moments that matter (kickoffs, leadership offsites, board prep) and stay out of your inbox the rest of the time.
