Manufacturing and industrial

Manufacturing software, ERP integration and data platforms

ERP, plant and supplier systems connected, from SAP and Epicor integration and shop-floor applications to SAP data brought onto Microsoft Fabric.

Who we work with in manufacturing

  • Industrial automation and equipment

    CRM and ERP integration, field service and parts systems for robotics, elevator and machine tool companies.

  • Global industrial groups on SAP

    SAP ECC data brought into one reporting platform, and SAP workflows moved off SAPGUI.

  • Packaging, building materials and chemicals

    Shop-floor systems, approval workflows and field tools for plants that run on tight change windows.

  • Multi-ERP and post-merger manufacturers

    Data from several ERPs migrated onto one, with repeatable tools that make each load predictable.
