How manufacturing companies achieve results with our analytics

Data analytics consulting for manufacturing involves the systematic development of a framework in which data is harmonized, metrics are calculated according to uniform standards, and analytics is used to inform decision-making at both the process and financial levels.

1
Data and Process
Analysis

In the first stage, our experts analyze the current state of production data. They verify:

  • the completeness of data in the systems,
  • the consistency of data formats and types,
  • the accuracy of calculations and business logic,
  • and the consistency of metrics across departments.

The result: you see the actual state of the data and the reasons for discrepancies.

2
Consolidating Data into a Single System

At this stage, the project team consolidates data from ERP, production, and logistics systems into a single structure. Our specialists ensure:

  • data consistency between all systems,
  • complete integration of all data sources,
  • synchronization of periods and key indicators,
  • correctness of data transfer between systems.

The result: you work with consistent data without discrepancies between systems.

3
Configuring Calculation
Logic

After consolidating the data, specialists establish a unified calculation logic for the metrics. Data engineers determine:

  • the rules for calculating key metrics,
  • the alignment of metrics with business logic,
  • the consistency of metrics across departments,
  • and the accuracy of formulas and dependencies.

The result: you receive metrics that are calculated consistently across all reports.

4
Building Dashboards and Reports

At this stage, analysts create dashboards tailored to business objectives. They configure:

  • the structure of metrics in reports,
  • the display of metrics on dashboards,
  • filters and time-period settings,
  • and data access for different roles.

The result: you see key metrics in a single interface and quickly identify anomalies.

5
Launch and Real-Time Operation

After launch, engineers put the system into operational mode with automatic data updates. They ensure:

  • connection of data sources,
  • configuration of the update schedule,
  • monitoring of system performance,
  • and consistent availability of metrics.

The result: you work with up-to-date data and monitor processes in real time.

Proven Track Record
6
System Handover or Ongoing Support

After launch, our team will either hand over the system to you or continue to provide support. It is important to organize:

  • configuration of access rights and roles,
  • training on how to use dashboards,
  • verification of metric accuracy,
  • support and refinements as needed.

The result: you work with analytics in a convenient format.

    FAQs About Manufacturing Business
    Analytics Solutions

    Pricing is formed by the volume of data, the number of systems involved, and the complexity of the task. The cost of the project is also affected by the specialists involved. In most cases, the work includes an analyst, a data engineer, and a data architect. The cost of their work in our company ranges from $60 to $100, which is below the average for similar projects in the international market. At the same time, we guarantee high-quality performance. Before starting work, we determine the composition of the team and estimate the number of hours required for your tasks.

    First results often appear within 2–4 weeks. Simpler setups move faster, while more complex projects with multiple data sources can take several months.

    We integrate data from ERP, MES, CRM, WMS, financial systems, databases, and files. Sources may vary in format — APIs, SQL databases, or Excel — and are combined into a single structure for analysis.

    Yes. The platform integrates with most ERP systems and aligns metrics with your existing data, so reporting remains consistent across systems.

    Analytics enables you to work with standardized metrics, identify deviations in processes, and assess the impact of decisions on costs, inventory, and production. This reduces errors and speeds up management decision-making.
