Take one piece, take them all, or connect them to what you run today: an ERP, spreadsheets, a database you built yourself, or paper and a whiteboard. Start with the one that costs you the most time. Fixed price, quoted before work starts. Where the rules live in one person's head, we capture them with that person as the authority before anything is automated.
On the Plant Floor
Computer Vision Inspection
Camera-based inspection for defects your team currently checks by eye, starting with one line and one defect type.
Machine and PLC Data
Production data pulled from older controllers into reports your team can use, without replacing working equipment.
ERP Connections
Connections to SAP, Epicor and other ERPs. We start from the reports your system already produces, so nothing in it changes until you are ready.
The same pattern, already in production
For a telecom infrastructure contractor, our system builds each parts list from the project's documents. A list that took 3 hours by hand now takes about 15 minutes, and human review is reserved for genuine edge cases and final sign-off.
Works With the Systems You Already Have
We connect to what you run today instead of asking you to replace it.
- SAP
- Epicor
- QuickBooks
- Sage
- Excel and spreadsheet-based processes
- Older and custom-built ERPs
Common Concerns
What owners and operations leaders ask us before the first project
"Our data is messy."
So is almost everyone's. During discovery we check your real data and your experts' rules, and build on what actually happens rather than on what everyone assumes.
"We can't replace our ERP."
You don't have to. We build around the systems you already own, and we usually start from the reports your ERP already produces, without changing anything in it.
"Our best person won't want to be replaced."
They will not be. They stay the authority on how the work should be done, and the system takes the typing off their plate.
"We've been burned by a software project before."
Every phase has a fixed price you approve in writing before work starts. You are never committed to more than the phase in front of you.
"What if the system gets something wrong?"
Where the rules are clear, the system decides. Where they aren't, it flags the item for a person instead of guessing. Human review is reserved for genuine edge cases and final sign-off.
"What happens when the project is done?"
You own what we build. It is documented and supported by our team, so it never depends on any one person.
