From gut feel to data\-driven strategy

Many mid-market manufacturing companies struggle with fragmented systems – legacy ERP software (or managing multiple ERPs), production planning tools, disconnected spreadsheets and quality control databases that don't communicate effectively.

Tariff & supply chain uncertainty

Global trade tensions and shifting tariffs have introduced significant unpredictability into manufacturing supply chains. U.S. tariffs on imports like steel and aluminium have been raised or reversed with little warning, forcing many manufacturers to reevaluate sourcing strategies and pricing models.

Evolving products & customer demand

Manufacturers must diversify product lines and meet changing customer expectations. For example, the demand for sustainable materials and electric vehicle (EV) components has surged, requiring manufacturers to adjust their product offerings and production strategies to stay competitive.
