AI & Cloud Consulting forManufacturing Companies.
DataOps Group helps manufacturers and distributors automate reporting, reduce cloud costs, connect ERP and MES systems, and put AI to work on the shop floor — without disrupting operations.
We understand your industry. Not just your technology.
Manufacturing companies carry a unique technology burden: legacy systems that can't be easily replaced, operational data scattered across ERPs, spreadsheets, and PLCs, and production environments where downtime is unacceptable.
We understand manufacturing operations. Our team has built data platforms, automation systems, and cloud infrastructure for manufacturers — from discrete manufacturing and distribution centers to job shops and make-to-order operations.
The result: less manual reporting, better production visibility, and AI that actually works in an industrial environment.
Production reporting takes forever
Shift supervisors spending hours compiling data manually. We automate it — pulling from your ERP, MES, or even spreadsheets into a single real-time dashboard.
ERP data is isolated
Your ERP holds the data but nobody can get to it without an IT ticket. We build the pipelines that make that data available to the people who need it.
Cloud costs are climbing
Growing manufacturers often have cloud infrastructure that was set up fast and never optimized. We audit and right-size — typically 40–60% cost reduction.
Manual processes eating labor hours
AP automation, vendor onboarding, shipping documentation, compliance reporting — we automate the workflows that shouldn't require a person.
What we build for manufacturing & distribution companies.
Manufacturing Data Platforms
Centralize production, inventory, and financial data into a single source of truth. Real-time dashboards for operations, finance, and leadership.
ERP & MES Integration
Connect your ERP (SAP, Sage, Acumatica, QuickBooks) to your production floor systems so data flows automatically — no double entry, no data lag.
AI Automation for Manufacturing
Automate production reporting, quality documentation, supplier communications, and shipping workflows. AI that fits your operations, not a demo environment.
Cloud Cost Optimization
Audit your AWS or Azure spend, right-size infrastructure, and implement monitoring so you stop paying for idle resources. Average savings: 40–60%.
Work we've done in manufacturing & distribution.
Common questions from manufacturing & distribution companies.
Do you work with manufacturers who use legacy ERP systems like Sage 100 or Acumatica?
Yes. We have deep experience integrating modern data and AI tools with legacy ERP systems including Sage 100, Sage 300, Acumatica, QuickBooks Enterprise, and older custom ERPs. We don't require you to replace what's working.
Can you implement AI without disrupting our production operations?
Yes. We design AI automation to work alongside existing operations — we're not ripping and replacing production systems. Most AI implementations happen at the data layer, not on the shop floor itself.
What does a typical manufacturing engagement look like?
Usually starts with a data and process audit (2–3 weeks), followed by a prioritized implementation roadmap. We pick the highest-ROI workflow first and build from there. Typical first project: 60–90 days.
Do you work with discrete manufacturers, job shops, or distribution operations?
All three. We've worked with discrete manufacturers, make-to-order job shops, and distribution/warehouse operations. The specific tooling varies but the approach — understand the data flows, automate the manual work, surface the right numbers — is the same.
What does it cost to work with DataOps Group?
Fixed-price engagements starting at $5,000. Most manufacturing clients start with a defined project (data platform, ERP integration, or cloud optimization) before moving to an ongoing relationship. We quote based on your specific situation.
