Industry
Technology for manufacturing and consumer goods.
Operating context
What this sector asks of its systems.
Multi-shift workforce
Permanent, contract and seasonal workers across shifts, with attendance that drives pay and output.
Plant-to-finance data
Stock, purchasing, production and cost data that has to reconcile between operations and finance.
Distribution networks
Depots, distributors and field sales teams that need current information, not last week’s export.
How technology helps
Where we would start.
Business Optimization Consulting
Inventory, purchasing and production processes mapped, then improved before any system change.
Typical projects
What we would build first.
ERP rollout for stock and production
Inventory, purchasing and manufacturing modules configured to how the plant works.
Shift attendance to payroll
Time and attendance captured at the gate or line and flowing into payroll.
Distributor and field-sales portal
Order status, stock availability and claims for the people who sell and deliver.
Cost and output dashboards
Labour cost, output and waste in one view, by line, plant and period.
Where we start
Questions we ask first.
- Where does stock or cost data get re-typed between the plant and finance?
- How is attendance captured on the line, and how long until payroll sees it?
- Which decisions wait on a spreadsheet that someone updates by hand?
