They're buried in your ERP, your job records, and forty spreadsheets. InsightPane reads the data you already have, so you can ask a question and get an answer with the receipts, instead of waiting for Friday's export.
The data exists. It's in the ERP, the scrap log, the travelers, and a folder of spreadsheets named FINAL_v3. What doesn't exist is a way to see it all in one place while it still matters.
InsightPane reads what your operation already produces and turns it into answers. No data cleanup homework, no rip-and-replace.
The Friday export ritual. Someone spends hours every week pulling ERP exports into Excel to rebuild the same report. By the time it hits your inbox, the week it describes is already over.
Root cause takes a week of digging. Scrap spikes, a customer complains, a job blows its estimate. Finding out why means cross-referencing job records, material lots, and operator notes by hand, so mostly, nobody does.
Only one person can answer questions. Every "how are we doing on..." question routes through whoever knows the ERP's report builder. They're a bottleneck for answers, and half the company just stopped asking.
InsightPane sits beside your systems, not inside them. It reads, it never rewrites, your ERP stays the system of record, and your team keeps working exactly as they do today.
ERP tables, spreadsheets, scrap logs, even scanned job packets. Read-only connections mean zero risk to your production systems.
Jobs, materials, quality, and delivery data linked together, so a scrap number knows which lot, which line, and which customer it belongs to.
"Which customers are killing our margins?" "What changed on Line 2?" Answers arrive in seconds, with the source records cited underneath.
Thresholds and trend alerts flag problems while they're still small, a scrap drift, a slipping customer, a job burning past estimate.
Every answer shows its work. No black boxes, InsightPane cites the records behind every number it gives you.
InsightPane doesn't ask you to change how data gets created. It turns what you already produce into answers you can trust.
No report builder, no SQL, no waiting for the one person who knows the ERP. Anyone you authorize can ask and get a sourced answer in seconds.
Correlations surfaced automatically: scrap against material lots, delays against work centers, margin erosion against customers and part families.
Role-based access, audit trails, and deployment options that respect the obligations shops carry, including ITAR-sensitive and CMMC-track environments.
Inconsistent part numbers, half-filled fields, spreadsheets with personality. We build against your data as it is, cleaning it up is not your homework.
Set thresholds once, scrap rate, OTD, jobs over estimate, and hear about it only when something actually moves. No dashboard babysitting.
Plant overview for you, line views for supervisors, customer views for sales. Each role sees what they need without drowning in what they don't.
We prove it on your data and your questions before anything expands. If the pilot doesn't earn its keep, it doesn't grow, simple as that.
We map where your data lives, what questions matter most, and who needs which answers.
InsightPane connects read-only to your real systems and starts answering the questions from discovery.
More data sources, more roles, more signals, expanded because the pilot proved value, not because a contract said so.

No, and if a vendor tells you to clean your data first, they're handing you a year-long project before any value shows up. We build against your data as it exists: inconsistent part numbers, half-filled fields, all of it. Part of what InsightPane does during the pilot is show you where the data quality issues actually matter and where they don't.
This comes up in most of our manufacturing conversations, and it's a fair question. Deployment options are scoped during discovery around your specific obligations, including architectures where your data stays within boundaries you control. Access is role-based and every query is logged.
No. Connections are read-only by design. InsightPane cannot write to, modify, or delete anything in your production systems. Your ERP remains the system of record; InsightPane is the layer that finally makes its data useful.
ERP reports answer the questions the ERP vendor predicted. InsightPane answers the question you have right now, across all your data sources at once, including the spreadsheets and logs your ERP has never seen, and it finds correlations no canned report will.
Every answer is grounded in your actual records and cites them: job numbers, transactions, log entries. If the data can't support an answer, InsightPane says so instead of improvising.
Discovery is a fixed fee, and the build is quoted from the discovery document with milestone pricing, full cost known before any code is written. You own everything: code, data, documentation. No per-seat licensing that punishes you for letting more people ask questions.
Come to the fit call with the one operational question that always takes a week to answer. We'll show you exactly how InsightPane would answer it from your data.
If a report in your existing ERP would solve it, we'll tell you which one.
