MFG Analytics turns ERP data into trusted margin, delivery, inventory, quality, and operations reporting inside your Microsoft environment. You own the model, reports, source, and documentation.
Access comes before analytics. Your ERP data — and the systems around it: MES, quality, CRM, the spreadsheets holding the rest together — often sit behind a vendor’s portal, a proprietary schema, or a refresh path you don’t control. The ERP vendor and the VAR point the same way: another module, another seat, another year. When both voices agree, you have no independent counsel.
We sell neither the ERP nor the roadmap, so we can say the thing neither of them will: get access to your own data first, and own it. Then the analytics — and the exit multiple — become possible. Lock-in doesn’t just slow reporting. It caps the multiple.
Different definitions of margin. Different date logic for delivery. Costing rules that changed in the ERP without reaching the report. Measures copied across files. Refresh paths owned by a former vendor. We trace the number back to the ERP, define it once, and build the reporting layer around that definition.
The anatomy of divergent numbers — definitions, date logic, stale costing, copied measures — is its own document: Why your reports disagree.
Three verbs, in order. Each one ends with something you own.
A documented review of how the ERP is actually used, where important numbers disagree, and why. Ends with a graded report and a priced recommendation.
One semantic model in Fabric, built on your operating definitions — margin, delivery, inventory, quality, capacity. Defined once, used everywhere.
Power BI reports for the controller, the plant, and the board — reading from the same model, drilling to the same transactions.
Source, documentation, refresh logic, measure definitions, runbooks, and working sessions — everything your team needs to operate and extend the system.
The work starts with transactions, BOMs, routings, costs, jobs, inventory, and extensions — not a generic connector demo.
The controller, COO, and plant should disagree about the decision — not about which report is correct.
No proprietary reporting portal. The model and reports live in your Microsoft environment, and stay there.
Two out of three mid-market manufacturers are unhappy with their ERP. It is rarely the people, and rarely even the software. It’s not you — it’s the model layer.
One document per argument, for the people who sign off on the spend. No subscription, no gate.
Fixed scope, fixed price, and you keep the report either way. The audit in full →
