REPORTING & ANALYTICS / SHROPSHIRE
WHAT IS INCLUDED
WHY TELFORD
Most Telford manufacturers already collect a lot of data. The problem is that it lives in different places: the ERP, machine counters, quality spreadsheets and the accounts package. Monthly meetings start with someone spending a day assembling figures, and by the time they're discussed they're weeks old. We build reporting that pulls from those sources automatically, so managers see output, scrap, downtime and on-time delivery for yesterday rather than last month.
REPORTING & ANALYTICS / TELFORD
Margin by job or by customer is another question that's hard to answer on the estates. A firm might know its overall margin but not which customers or product families are actually profitable once setup time, scrap and rework are counted. Linking production and finance data makes that visible. For distribution sites, the useful measures tend to be pick rates, dock times and labour cost per unit, broken down by shift.
IN PRACTICE / TELFORD
A manufacturer could have a screen in the production office showing yesterday's output, scrap and downtime by machine and shift, refreshed automatically from existing systems.
An engineering firm might combine quote, production time and material data to see actual margin per job and customer, highlighting work that consistently runs over estimate.
A distribution operator could compare pick rates, error rates and agency labour costs across shifts, helping managers plan staffing around predictable weekly volume patterns.

QUESTION / TELFORD
Often, yes. Older machines may not have modern connectivity, but data can sometimes be captured from controllers, simple sensors or quick operator inputs. Legacy software usually has some export route. We assess what's realistic before promising anything, and start with the data you can reliably get.
