Your operation is leaking approximately

Every month, across five operational leaks

$0 over a full year

How this was calculated: Each leak uses your inputs above plus industry-typical constants for your sub-type — average deal value per RFQ, revenue-per-machine-hour proxy, and a 25% inventory carrying cost. Numbers are conservative and based on commonly cited manufacturing benchmarks (the leak-stats on our manufacturers page). Your plant's actuals may vary — we'll calibrate exact numbers during your free 15-minute discovery call.

L1 · Unplanned Downtime

Instant alerts + scheduled maintenance reminders

Live AI SMS Assistant fires instant alerts to the maintenance team the moment a parameter goes off-spec. Email Sequencer runs scheduled PM reminders so preventives don't slip. Voice AI on 937-629-8046 handles after-hours escalations.

Q3 2026 · Early access Predictive Maintenance Engine — 200+ parameters, 30-day failure prediction, 97%+ accuracy on real plant data. Ask Brett about early access on your discovery call.

L2 · OEE Gap

Real production visibility, every shift

Live Department Portals give every line lead, shift supervisor, and plant manager their own view — by line, by shift, by SKU. Industry Intelligence dashboards surface where you sit vs. industry-typical OEE benchmarks.

Q3 2026 Dynamic Production Scheduling auto-reflows the floor on late shipments, rush jobs, or machine-down events. OEE & Throughput Analytics turns the 65→85% path into a checklist, not a guess.

L3 · Excess Inventory

Reorder discipline + aging visibility

Live Email Sequencer runs automated reorder reminders so PO cadence doesn't slip. Industry Intelligence dashboards surface aging inventory and slow-mover SKUs before they tie up another quarter of working capital.

Q3 2026 Smart Inventory & Demand Forecasting — fuses sales history, supplier lead times, and external signals to cut excess inventory 20–50%. Auto-generated POs included.

L4 · RFQ Follow-up Gap

AI SMS + Email Sequencer — 3-touch quote cadence

✓ Strongest live match

Live AI SMS Assistant catches every RFQ phone call and form submission inside 30 seconds, qualifies, and routes to estimating. Email Sequencer hits every quote with a 3-touch follow-up cadence so RFQs don't die in someone's inbox. Already running this exact pattern across 20+ industries on the platform today.

L5 · Quality / Customer Returns

Workflow tracking + quality issue alerts

Live Department Portals on multi-tenant architecture track every QC checkpoint, NCR, and rework loop by station and shift. AI SMS fires quality issue alerts to the right charge person the moment a checkpoint fails, so problems get caught at the station, not at pack-out.

Q3 2026 AI Quality Control — No New Cameras reads torque, pressure, cycle time, and temperature from your existing PLCs/MES. Defect "fingerprints" learned from your plant data flag bad parts before they ship.
