Team planning production and supply chain schedules

Do you want to save money with manufacturing analytics on your current orders?

Manufacturing analytics helps you improve your supply chain.

  • Streamlined production

    When you are unsure where to begin, we check market conditions to guide your next steps and connect you with the best manufacturers.

  • Affordable import research

    We analyze logistics, scheduling and procurement to find inefficiencies and fit operations to your production needs.

  • Better opportunities

    We make sure you do not miss potential manufacturers. That gives you access to better prices, more customization options and higher product quality.

Manufacturing analytics to improve value for money

Three areas of cost. You can start with any of them.

Reviewing a cost report for a production order
  1. 01

    Cut logistics cost

    We balance cost, speed and reliability. We check shipment rates and look for savings through HS codes or Incoterms adjustments.

  2. 02

    Cut order cost

    Too much stock raises storage cost. Too little risks stockouts. We use EOQ, forecasting and inventory models, with specialists guiding each step.

  3. 03

    Cut product cost

    We rebuild the cost breakdown with your supplier. You see which parts are essential, avoid unnecessary extras and gain full price transparency.

Manufacturing analytics questions

What brands ask before they start.

Why put in the effort when I am happy with my existing supplier?

If your supplier meets your expectations on price, quality, product characteristics and reliability, you should probably stay with them. Suppliers tend to take long-term clients for granted and put little effort into existing production lines. It is important to check regularly that you still get a good deal. The best way is a cost breakdown, which our manufacturing analytics provides.

What exactly is product costing?

Every product has a bill of materials, which is a list of all its components and materials. Often a component can be replaced with a cheaper alternative, or a part can move to a cheaper material. As your manufacturing analytics provider, we identify this unused potential quickly, with the help of our own engineers.

How does reducing order cost work in practice?

It depends on your product and your order schedule. A just-in-time inventory system also depends on the historic demand data you can provide. With little data, we can still work with estimates that show the basic trade-off between storing too much and too little.
