Is This You?

You're running a manufacturing operation where:

If this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

Your systems CAN talk to each other—most manufacturing teams just don't know how to make it happen without disrupting operations or risking a failed integration project.

What Manual Data Entry Is Really Costing You

⏱️

Time

Hours per person, per day, wasted on redundant data entry
→ A significant portion of your team's time NOT solving production problems

💰

Money

Thousands to tens of thousands annually in wasted labor costs alone
→ Plus the cost of delays, scrapped materials, and rush re-manufacturing from data errors

⚠️

Risk

Every manual entry is a dice roll for costly mistakes
→ One wrong quantity, one missing decimal, one incorrect routing—thousands of dollars gone

😞

Morale

Repetitive, boring work kills team engagement
→ Your skilled staff want to solve problems, not babysit data

📈

Growth

You can't scale without scaling manual data entry headcount
→ More volume = more people doing copy/paste work

How I Can Help

I build custom automated integrations between your existing manufacturing systems so data syncs in real-time—no manual entry, no export/import cycles, no more entering the same order 3-4 times.

The result?

Your systems keep running as-is during implementation—no disruption, no downtime, just gradual rollout of automation.

Common Questions

"Our systems are too old/unique—no one can integrate them."

That may be true. Many "legacy" systems have integration options that aren't obvious, but some genuinely can't be integrated cost-effectively. The diagnostic call will help us figure out which category yours fall into—no guessing, just an honest assessment.

"What if the integration disrupts our operations?"

Integrations run parallel to your existing workflows—no downtime required. We can also roll them out gradually to minimize risk. Your teams keep using the current systems while automation runs in the background.

"How do I know this will actually save us money?"

We'll calculate potential ROI together based on YOUR hours and labor costs during our diagnostic call—transparent arithmetic you can verify yourself. No magic formulas, just honest math.

"What if you're not available for support later?"

Every integration I build includes comprehensive documentation and knowledge transfer. You're not dependent on me to keep things running, though ongoing support is available if you want it.
