Manufacturing
Let the ERP’s intelligence reach the sales engine.
Sales commits to a date. Operations works to a different one. The gap between them shows up as missed on-time delivery, expedite costs, and inventory nobody planned for. That gap is an integration problem long before it is a process problem.
Where it breaks
The problems are structural, not accidental.
These show up in nearly every manufacturing organization we work with, which is the point. They are not the result of a bad team. They are the result of a business model the standard platform configuration was never shaped around.
-
Sales and operations plan against different numbers, so S&OP is a negotiation rather than a process.
-
ERP holds the intelligence that would make quoting accurate, and the sales team cannot reach it.
-
Channel partners carry your message with no visibility for you and no support for them.
-
Product development cycles run long because feedback from the field never reaches the roadmap.
What we build
Built for how this industry actually runs.
Process and system integration
Break the silos between sales, operations, and the ERP so key functions plan against the same information.
Sales and operations planning
Support S&OP with a shared demand picture, improving on-time delivery and reducing supply chain cost.
Channel partner management
Engage channel partners and gain channel visibility, so your message and your margin both hold.
Product development feedback
Bring what the field learns back into product decisions, so products reach market faster and with less risk.
We built this for this industry
SteelSalesAI
Quoting built for steel, where price depends on grade, dimension, processing, and freight rather than a line item off a pricelist. Running at Cyclone Steel. When the standard configuration has nothing useful to offer, we build the thing.

How we deliver it
Two ways in, same discipline.
Project Delivery
A defined outcome, fixed price
You know the scope, the price, and the timeline before we start. Delivered in weeks rather than quarters.
See how delivery works →Managed Services
Ongoing capability, month over month
A flat monthly fee that moves defined capabilities up a maturity curve. No hourly meter, and a live backlog you can inspect.

Which of these is costing you the most?
30 minutes. Name the constraint your team plans around. We have built for it before, and we will tell you what it would take to remove.
