An industrial planning and production company
Brand planning and factory execution designed as distinct products, with clear boundaries between forecasts, materials, commitments and production work.
Planning and production describe different parts of the same operating reality. A planning team needs to reconcile forecasts, bills of materials, purchase orders and supplier commitments. A factory needs to plan work against machines and production constraints, then record what happens on the floor. The products have different users and data, while decisions still need to connect across them.
Work with forecasts, bills of materials, purchase orders and allocations in the planning product. Connect the demand being planned to the materials and commitments that need attention, so planners can examine the operating decision behind a number.
Compare planned and committed positions and identify the supplier records that need review. Explicit fallback behaviour handles a missing supplier position, keeping the workflow usable without silently inventing a confirmed commitment.
Use production requirements, machine compatibility and planning constraints to shape the factory schedule. Replanning and gated automation retain the conditions and operator decisions that determine whether a plan can be used.
Provide tablet-oriented roll logging, corrections, pauses and downtime recording. Operators can capture the events that change the production picture, and those records remain distinct from what the plan expected.
The current factory product carries forward established mill-planning workflows. Its integration with brand planning uses explicit contracts, keeping each product's users, data and releases under the right owner.
Where AI write tools are present, a governed registry defines the available operations and their permission boundary. Proposed planning and enterprise-assistant expansion remains separate from the implemented planning and production features.
Worked alongside product, operations and engineering to make those boundaries explicit and turn the workflows into usable software. The work includes planning and supplier reconciliation, factory-platform integration, data contracts, tenant access and release practice. Interactive prototypes and operator feedback helped check the shape of the workflow before widening a change.
Embedded technical partner across planning workflows, platform architecture, factory integration, access control and release practice. Factory functionality includes contributions authored by the wider engineering team; this case describes selected work and integration responsibility.
The product code supports planning, supplier and factory workflows with explicit ownership and operating constraints. Brand and factory capabilities keep their own product and data boundaries while sharing governed contracts and design standards.
Tell me what needs to work differently and who depends on it. We can discuss the product, the engineering and the team needed to carry it forward.
The first call starts a conversation. We agree the scope and price of paid work separately.
