Data & Advanced Analytics for Manufacturers 

Turning Enterprise Data Into a Single Pane of Glass 

In the era of Industry 4.0, data is your most valuable asset — but only if it’s connected, trusted, and actionable. Cuneiform’s Data & Advanced Analytics services help manufacturers unify ERP, MES, IoT, CRM, quality, and financial systems into a single source of truth. From there, we build role-specific dashboards and predictive analytics models that give leaders and frontline teams the insights they need to act with confidence. 
The result: one view of the business that empowers better decisions in sales, operations, quality, finance, and supply chain. 

Why Data & Advanced Analytics Matter 


Modern manufacturers generate vast amounts of data across ERP platforms, shop-floor systems, IoT sensors, and customer-facing applications. Without unification, insights remain siloed, decisions are delayed, and opportunities are missed. By consolidating information into a cohesive analytics layer, you can:

The Importance of Starting Early 


A strong data strategy isn’t just about solving today’s problems — it’s about preparing for growth. Manufacturers that establish a unified data foundation early avoid the pain of costly data mining, siloed reporting, and conflicting KPIs later. 
This becomes especially critical during periods of expansion or M&A activity. With a consistent data model and analytics framework, organizations can integrate new plants, business units, or acquisitions into a single pane of glass quickly and seamlessly. Instead of stitching together multiple versions of the truth, leaders gain a clear, enterprise-wide view from day one — supporting faster integration, stronger governance, and better decision-making at scale. 

Our Approach to Data & Analytics

Building a Single Source of Truth 

We integrate data from ERP (IFS, SAP, Epicor, Infor, Oracle), MES, IoT devices, CRM, and quality systems into a unified environment. This eliminates conflicting information and ensures consistency across every function of the enterprise.

Executive & Role-Based Dashboards 

Cuneiform designs dashboards tailored to leadership, managers, and frontline teams. These include executive dashboards for top-level performance visibility, sales dashboards for order pipeline and margins, operations dashboards for OEE and throughput, and quality dashboards for yield and non-conformance tracking.

Predictive Insights with AI & ML 

Using advanced analytics and AI/ML techniques, we develop models that forecast demand, detect anomalies, predict maintenance needs, and identify emerging risks — enabling proactive management rather than reactive firefighting.

Data Governance & Quality Management 

We implement governance frameworks and continuous monitoring to ensure enterprise data is accurate, secure, and compliant. This builds trust in analytics, allowing leaders to make high-stakes decisions with confidence.

Continuous Improvement Through Analytics 

Our solutions embed analytics directly into daily management routines, enabling root cause analysis, trend discovery, and iterative optimization. Data becomes not just a reporting tool but a driver of continuous improvement and competitive advantage. 

Industry Impact & Business Benefits 


Independent research underscores the impact of advanced data and analytics: 

  • McKinsey reports that predictive analytics and IoT-enabled monitoring can reduce machine downtime by up to 30%, improving equipment reliability and asset utilization. 
  • BCG highlights that data-driven operations can deliver 15–25% improvements in throughput and productivity when real-time performance monitoring is embedded on the shop floor. 
  • Gartner emphasizes that analytics-driven visibility across sales and supply chains leads to greater agility and responsiveness in volatile market conditions. 

At Cuneiform, we translate these industry benchmarks into practical execution. By unifying ERP, MES, IoT, quality, and sales data into a single pane of glass, we help manufacturers realize these benefits and sustain them through governance, scalability, and continuous improvement.
