Industries

We know your constraints before we arrive

An engineer who discovers your industry on scoping day is billing you for their own education. Our teams have already worked under your rules.

Energy and utilities

Distributed installations, an absolute availability constraint, and traceability that has to hold up years later.

Your constraints

  • Availability and remote sites

    Installations are dispersed and sometimes weakly connected. A system that assumes a permanent link does not survive the field: it needs degraded-mode operation and clean resynchronisation.

  • Defensible traceability

    Production, quality and intervention records must be reconstructable long afterwards, with operator identity and timestamp. Historisation is not a convenience, it is a requirement.

  • Access separation

    Sensitive operating data cannot be opened to everyone to satisfy a reporting need. Rights have to be designed by role and by site, not granted wholesale.

  • Mixed generations of tools

    A single operator runs a recent package, an application built in-house fifteen years ago, and spreadsheets. Integration has to absorb that gap without forcing wholesale replacement.

Our response

We work the full software chain: digitalising operations and maintenance processes, ERP, field applications for site teams, data consolidation, then decision-grade reporting. Our teams have worked for major operators in the sector, including Sonatrach, GE and Algérienne des Eaux.

Food and beverage

End-to-end traceability isn't reconstructed on recall day. It's built before.

Your constraints

  • Batch traceability

    Linking a finished batch to its raw materials, crew, equipment and process parameters. On a recall, that chain has to be walked in minutes, not days of archives.

  • Shelf life and stock rotation

    Expiry management imposes strict issue rules and permanent visibility on stock age. Stock managed as an average, with no batch or date, costs in write-offs what it saves in simplicity.

  • Material yield

    The gap between theoretical and actual consumption turns on a few points and is rarely measured continuously. Without automatic declaration from the line, it only surfaces at stocktake.

  • Quality control at line speed

    Visual inspection on a fast line tires operators and lets defects through at end of shift. It is one of the cases where computer vision produces a measurable gain.

Our response

We deploy ERP across production, inventory and quality, with capture as close to the station as possible — terminal or mobile, barcode scanning — rather than deferred re-keying. Product genealogy then builds continuously, as the work happens.

Manufacturing

An OEE figure computed once a month in a spreadsheet has never won back a point of yield.

Your constraints

  • Planned versus actual

    The plan is built on theoretical routing times nobody has revised in years. With no feedback from the floor, scheduling drifts a little further every cycle.

  • Inventory accuracy

    Work in progress and scrap aren't declared as they happen, so book stock diverges from physical until the annual count absorbs the gap without explaining it.

  • Actual unit cost

    Without real time and consumption booked against each work order, unit cost stays an estimate. Pricing decisions are then made blind.

  • Reactive maintenance

    Interventions are triggered by failure. The history exists, often on paper, but is never used to anticipate.

Our response

We connect scheduling to the shop floor: paperless work orders, production and scrap declarations at the station, OEE computed on real data, and cost per order. Routing times then get corrected against reality rather than by expert opinion.

Automotive

In the automotive chain, traceability and flow discipline aren't internal goals. They're conditions of entry.

Your constraints

  • Part-level traceability

    Identifying a part, its material batch, its station and its operator — and being able to bound a containment precisely rather than quarantining a whole run.

  • Just-in-time and delivery windows

    Buffer stock is low by design. Any production deviation propagates straight to delivery, so the alert has to be immediate, not weekly.

  • Customer quality requirements

    Audits test your ability to demonstrate the process as much as the product. Records must be produced on demand, not reconstructed.

  • Supplier quality

    Upstream performance sets yours. Without a structured non-conformity history per supplier, negotiation happens without data.

Our response

We put in place part-level traceability, flow control and supplier quality tracking, backed by an ERP that holds lead times and customer commitments. Audit records become an output of the system rather than a preparation exercise.

Supply chain and distribution

Stock that is right on paper and wrong on the shelf costs you twice: in stockouts and in tied-up cash.

Your constraints

  • Accurate stock across sites

    Every warehouse, depot and distribution point ends up holding its own version of the truth. Until movements are captured as they happen, the gap between book and physical stock widens and a full count becomes the only remedy.

  • Planning and replenishment

    Replenishing from experience works while the range is short. Beyond that you need reorder points calculated from real history, seasonality and supplier lead times — otherwise cash sleeps in stock while you run out elsewhere.

  • Order to delivery

    Finding out what happened to an order — who entered it, picked it, shipped it, and when — should not take three phone calls. Without end-to-end traceability, customer service works blind and disputes settle against you.

  • Supplier performance

    Lead times actually met, service rate, quantities delivered in full: these already exist in your data, rarely in usable form. They are also the strongest argument you can bring to a renegotiation.

Our response

We deploy Odoo as the single backbone for purchasing, inventory and sales, with movements captured where they happen — picking station, goods-in, dispatch — then interfaces to the tools you keep. On top of it, the dashboards that track stock cover, service rate and supplier lead-time performance.

Recycling and environment

Heterogeneous input material, and a sorting yield that decides the margin.

Your constraints

  • Inbound flow traceability

    Origin, weight, quality and purchase price per delivery. Without reliable capture at the weighbridge, every downstream yield calculation rests on an uncertain base.

  • Sorting yield

    The gap between inbound tonnage and recovered tonnage is the central economic indicator. It has to be measured per batch and per line, not as a monthly aggregate.

  • Regulatory reporting

    Environmental reporting obligations require consolidated, defensible data. Rebuilding those returns by hand costs time every period.

  • Volatile resale prices

    Recovered material prices swing sharply. Without a current cost per flow, purchasing and storage decisions are made without a reference point.

Our response

We connect the weighbridge, sorting and sales into a single system: traceability from delivery to sold batch, yield measured per line, cost per flow, and automatic production of regulatory returns.
