Independent Macola® consulting and software development since 1981 — helping manufacturers and distributors get more from their ERP investment with expert setup, optimization, hands-on training and responsive support.

About Leahy Consulting

Leahy Consulting was founded in 1981 by Mike Leahy, a Purdue University (Krannert School) graduate who started the firm after twelve years as a consultant with Price Waterhouse and as a computer systems engineer with two major computer manufacturers. From its earliest ties to the MCBA package — the software family that evolved into Macola® Progression — the firm grew into a highly successful reseller and, over more than 40 years, into the independent Macola® support and optimization specialists we are today.

Our Cincinnati-based team of seventeen includes supply-chain consultants, former IT managers, a CPA, a CPIM, programmers and dedicated support staff. Hundreds of manufacturers and distributors rely on us for ERP support, optimization and innovation — and customers tell us they stay because we know the software deeply and provide excellent service.
