Spreadsheet-based production, over-ordered inventory, and an 8-day P&L cycle
Production tracking was entirely on spreadsheets updated at shift-end. Inventory was being over-ordered because no one had real-time visibility into warehouse stock levels. HR ran on a completely separate system with no payroll-to-attendance automation. Monthly P&L was taking 8 days to produce because finance had to reconcile from multiple disconnected sources.
BOS Business tier connecting production, inventory, payroll, and finance in real time
Deployed BOS Business tier across Finance, Operations, and HRMS modules. Production tracking now feeds inventory data in real time, eliminating the end-of-shift data entry lag. Payroll runs automatically from attendance records. An AI agent monitors live inventory levels against the production schedule and flags shortfalls 5 days in advance so procurement can act before it becomes a problem.
Inventory costs down 22%; payroll processing down from 3 days to 4 hours; P&L ready same day
Inventory holding cost reduced by 22% in the first year through elimination of over-ordering. Payroll processing time dropped from 3 days to 4 hours. Monthly P&L delivery went from 8 days to 1 day. Production floor supervisors now have a mobile dashboard showing real-time output versus target across all four lines.
“We'd been talking about digitising the shop floor for years. BOS let us do it without a dedicated IT team. The production dashboard alone was worth the cost.”
