Chemical quality data

QC, batches and complaints in one warehouse.

Your quality data is split between the ERP, the lab and a complaints spreadsheet, and the monthly review is spent copying it together. We join it in one warehouse, so yields, results against specification and complaints traced to lots are on a dashboard the morning after.

// what matters here

What is different in this industry.

01

One record of quality

QC results, batches, complaints and supplier lots are joined by lot, so one question has one answer.

02

Drift before failure

Results are tracked against specification over time, and a drift is flagged before a batch fails.

03

Complaints traced

A complaint links to its batch, its raw material lots and their suppliers in a click.

04

Run for you

We host the warehouse in a Canadian region, with backups and monitoring, in an account that is yours.

// example projects

Quality data warehouse

Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.

// The problem

A composites maker's QC results, batch yields, customer complaints and supplier lots sit in two ERPs and the lab's spreadsheets, and the monthly quality review is a week of copying.

// What we would build

A data warehouse that takes in QC results, batch records, complaints and supplier lots from both ERPs and the lab, and shows dashboards for plant managers and the quality team: yields by line, results against specification, complaints by product and supplier. We host and run it for you in a Canadian region.

// questions

Questions we get about this.

Can the quality warehouse read from two different ERPs?

Yes. Each ERP is read through its API or database views, and records are matched by lot and product. We check yours before we quote.

Do our lab spreadsheets need to change?

Not at first. We read them as they are, then suggest a small set of fixed columns so the import stops breaking.

Who can see supplier and cost data in the dashboards?

Access is set by role. Plant managers, quality staff and buyers each see what you decide they should.
