Manufacturing
Manufacturers rarely lack data — they lack agreement between the floor, the store and the ledger. We connect production reporting to costing to finance so the cost of a unit is a fact rather than a monthly reconstruction.
- Sector focus
- Costed BOMs, real shop-floor capture and margin you can defend line by line.

What we find
The four problems we are usually called in about
Recognisable? Each one has a root cause in process or data design rather than in software capability.
Cost per unit is calculated, not known
Standard costs age, actual consumption is captured late, and variance analysis arrives after the pricing decision has already been made.
The floor reports on paper
Production, scrap and downtime are written on a sheet and keyed in a shift later, so WIP is always an estimate and traceability breaks under pressure.
Maintenance and production compete
Planned maintenance has no shared calendar with the production plan, so both are optimised separately and neither is achieved.
Plants each run their own version
Two sites, two item codes, two definitions of on-time delivery — and no consolidated view a group executive can act on.
Services

Cloud ERP for multi-entity groups that have outgrown local accounting software.
NETSUITEPower BI
A governed semantic model first, then dashboards executives actually open.
POWER_BIProcess Reengineering
Fix the process before you automate it — otherwise you buy a faster version of the problem.
BPRIntegrations
Contracted, monitored interfaces between ERP, CRM, e-commerce, banking and the floor.
INTEGRATIONHardware & Software
Specified, licensed and installed to match the architecture — one accountable supply line.
SUPPLYCase study
Product costing the shop floor actually recognises
Standard costs that had drifted for years rebuilt against real routings and consumption, with shop-floor capture on rugged terminals and variance reported per production order.
Our board finally reads the same numbers we do. Month-end reporting dropped from eleven working days to four, and nobody rebuilds a spreadsheet to get there.
FAQ
Manufacturing, specifically
Only where cycle times are measured in seconds or process parameters must be recorded continuously. Most mid-market plants get the visibility they need from ERP production orders plus disciplined capture at defined points. We will tell you which side of that line your operation sits on.
Yes. Capture devices buffer locally and sync when connectivity returns, with reconciliation on both sides. We design for the network you have, then help you fix it.
We cut over across a planned shutdown or a low-volume weekend, with a physical count immediately before and a parallel-run fallback. Production keeps running; the paper trail changes.
