ERP System
A full-featured ERP system covering finance, procurement, inventory, sales, and HR & payroll in one unified dashboard. Built for mid-market companies that need to connect their financial and operational data without the complexity of legacy ERP suites.
A supply chain management platform that connects suppliers, inventory, and demand signals into a single planning surface. Built for teams that need to forecast accurately and respond fast when plans break.
An operations intelligence dashboard that unifies metrics from across the business into real-time views with anomaly alerting. Built for ops leaders who need to spot problems before they become incidents.
A facility and asset management platform with QR code tracking, maintenance scheduling, depreciation tracking, and visual floor plans. Built for operations teams managing physical assets across multiple facilities.

How Acme Manufacturing cut production delays by 34% with real-time shop-floor tracking
A 500-employee manufacturer replaced spreadsheets and legacy ERP with a custom ERP system, gaining real-time visibility into every work order — and unlocking $4.2M in trapped working capital.
/ The challenge
Acme was tracking production on spreadsheets and a 15-year-old ERP that couldn't talk to their inventory system. Work orders took 3 days to process, inventory was a black box, and on-time delivery was stuck at 71%. Expedited freight and rushed rework were bleeding margin — the CFO estimated $1.1M a year in avoidable costs.
/ What we built
We built a custom ERP system with shop-floor dashboards, IoT machine monitoring, and automated BOM management. The system went live in 6 weeks with zero data migration loss, and replaced five disconnected tools the operations team was juggling.

Annual margin recovered
We went from flying blind to seeing every machine, every order, every part in real time. The ROI was visible in the first month — we freed up over $4M in working capital that was sitting in excess stock.
IronForge Components freed $2.4M in working capital by collapsing 40 suppliers into one supply-chain cockpit
A forged-components manufacturer with 3 plants and 40 suppliers replaced email-and-spreadsheet procurement with a unified supply-chain platform — ending stockouts and the expedited freight that was eating their margins.
/ The challenge
IronForge's three plants sourced raw steel, alloys, and tooling from 40 suppliers, all coordinated over email and a shared spreadsheet nobody trusted. Stockouts of critical alloys halted production lines 6 times a quarter, and expedited freight was costing $480K a year. Buyers spent 60% of their week chasing POs instead of negotiating.
/ What we built
We deployed our Supply Chain Management platform with a supplier portal, real-time PO tracking, demand forecasting tied to the production schedule, and automated reorder points. Suppliers update ship dates themselves, and the system flags at-risk materials 14 days before they'd halt a line.

For the first time, every buyer, every planner, and every supplier is looking at the same numbers. We stopped firefighting and started negotiating — that's where the real savings showed up.
PrecisionGear Co lifted OEE from 58% to 79% by wiring 80 CNC machines into one IoT dashboard
A precision-gear manufacturer was running 80 CNC machines blind — no utilization data, no downtime tracking, no idea why OEE was stuck at 58%. IoT telemetry surfaced $3.1M of trapped throughput in the first quarter.
/ The challenge
PrecisionGear's 80 CNC machines were the heart of the business, but nobody could answer a basic question: which machines are actually running right now? Downtime was logged on paper at the end of each shift, by which point the lost hours were gone. Unplanned stoppages were eating an estimated $3.5M a year in lost throughput, and the maintenance team was 100% reactive.
/ What we built
We deployed our IoT Command platform with sensors on every machine, real-time telemetry streaming into OEE dashboards, anomaly alerts that ping the maintenance lead the moment a spindle vibration drifts, and a downtime reason-coding workflow on the operator tablets. The first week of data alone surfaced 12 machines running below 40% utilization.

We always knew we had capacity we weren't using — we just couldn't see where. The first month of IoT data was a revelation. We found 12 machines we'd been planning to replace that just needed a sensor and a service.
Apex Tool Works saved $1.6M in downtime by moving from reactive firefighting to scheduled maintenance
A tool & die manufacturer with 200+ pieces of equipment had no asset register and no maintenance plan — every breakdown was a surprise costing $40K an hour. Asset tracking with QR-coded maintenance schedules flipped them to proactive.
/ The challenge
Apex's 200+ machines, presses, and hand tools were tracked in a binder that nobody updated. When a 1980s stamping press went down, the maintenance team would spend hours just figuring out which spare part fit which machine. Breakdowns cost an estimated $40K per hour in lost production, and the team was replacing equipment that, with proper maintenance, had years of life left.
/ What we built
We deployed our Asset Tracker platform with QR codes on every asset, a complete digital register tied to manuals and spare-part lists, scheduled maintenance workflows that trigger automatically based on runtime hours, and floor-plan visualizations showing every asset's status. Operators scan to report issues; maintenance gets a prioritized queue.

We used to lose half a shift finding the right manual and the right spare part. Now a technician scans the QR code and has everything in front of them before they pick up a wrench. The downtime savings paid for the platform three times over.
