Manufacturing data solutions that save time and money

Manufacturing needs a better way to deal with rising costs.

UK manufacturers are dealing with persistent cost pressures and workforce challenges that show no signs of easing. Most companies have production data scattered across ERP, MES, quality control, and maintenance systems - but aren't using it effectively to find the cost savings they desperately need.

The industry needs a better way to deal with these challenges.

If you're dealing with these manufacturing pressures:

Rising costs

Energy, materials, wages keep rising but you can't pinpoint where waste actually happens.

Supply chain disruptions

One supplier problem shuts down production due to not having early warning visibility.

Unplanned downtime

Machine breakdowns are expensive but you're reacting to problems instead of predicting them.

Here's how we can help you:

1. Qlik for preventing costly problems

We've implemented Qlik for 50+ manufacturing businesses because it delivers cost-optimising capabilities that help you:

  • Get real-time visibility into production and machine performance across all your sites
  • Predict maintenance needs and quality issues before they become expensive problems
  • Connect supply chain data so you can spot disruptions and react faster
  • Turn IoT and machine data into actionable insights that improve efficiency

Already a Qlik user, but struggling to see its value?

2. Power BI for operational dashboards

We also work with Power BI when manufacturers need:

  • Comprehensive dashboards for operational and financial monitoring
  • Integration with existing Microsoft environments and Office 365
  • Machine trend analysis for maintenance planning

And offer a Power BI audit.

How quickly can we see results from manufacturing data analytics?

Most clients see initial benefits within 4-8 weeks. Quick wins often include automated reporting that saves hours of manual work each week. Deeper analytics capabilities typically deliver value within 3-6 months. 

Do we need to replace our existing manufacturing systems?

No. Qlik and Power BI integrate with most existing ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics), manufacturing execution systems (MES), IoT sensors, and quality management systems. We focus on connecting and analysing data from your current infrastructure. 

What size manufacturing companies do you typically work with?

We work with manufacturers from £5M to £1B+ annual turnover. Our approach scales based on complexity rather than company size. 

What specific manufacturing systems do Qlik and Power BI integrate with?

ERP Systems: SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics for financial and production planning data.

MES platforms: Real-time production data and operational efficiency tracking.

IoT/SCADA: PLCs, sensor data, and equipment monitoring systems.

Quality Systems: QMS platforms and HMI systems for quality tracking.

Supply Chain: SCM platforms, inventory systems, and logistics tools.

Specialised tools: Databricks Lakehouse, MRPeasy, Salesforce CRM, and custom manufacturing applications.

How do you help with compliance and regulatory reporting?

Both Qlik and Power BI automate compliance reporting by connecting safety incident data, environmental monitoring, and quality control into automated reports. This reduces manual data collection time whilst ensuring regulatory requirements are met consistently.

Do I need technical skills to use these systems?
Not necessarily. We design solutions for your actual users - production managers, quality engineers, and operations teams. We provide comprehensive training and build dashboards that non-technical people can use easily.
