Do you replace our ERP?
Rarely. Most manufacturers already have an ERP that handles accounting and core records well. We build the custom applications around it, such as scheduling boards, quality workflows, and customer portals, and integrate through its API or database so the ERP stays the system of record.
Can you connect shop-floor and machine data?
Yes, where the data is accessible. We pull from MES platforms, equipment and historian exports, barcode scanners, and operator entry screens into a central database, then build dashboards and alerts on top of it. Where machines have no connectivity, we start with simple operator capture on tablets.
How is AI used in manufacturing software?
Mostly on documents and exceptions. Private AI models extract data from certificates of analysis, supplier documents, and inspection reports, classify quality issues, and flag anomalies in production data. Calculations such as inventory levels, costing, and scheduling rules stay deterministic, and people review flagged items.
Can you build a customer or dealer portal?
Yes. We build self-serve portals where customers or dealers check order status, documents, inventory availability, and invoices, connected to your ERP so the data is always current. This cuts the calls and emails your inside sales team handles every day.
How do we get started?
With a short discovery engagement. We walk the plant with the people who run it, audit the systems and spreadsheets involved, and deliver a phased plan with clear scope and milestones before any build commitment.
