Independent assurance for the numbers that run your factory.
We provide independent operational data assurance for manufacturers using Epicor. We verify that the inventory, production, purchasing, costing, and operational metrics your business depends on accurately reflect reality. You own the infrastructure it runs on. No subscriptions, no lock-in.
This is operational data assurance. Audit firms give you independent assurance for your financial data. This is the same thing for the operational data that runs your plant. When a COO asks whether inventory can be trusted, the real question is underneath: can I release this purchase order, promise this ship date, believe these margins, build tomorrow’s schedule. Your row counts can match and the answer can still be no. We tell you which.
Four rungs. Each one is a bigger commitment and a longer horizon than the last. Check a handful of numbers after go-live. Prove the whole move while both systems are still up. Watch for drift so trust doesn’t decay after the engagement ends. Then decide from numbers you own outright. Start on the rung that fits where you are. We build for Epicor shops first.
An independent, documented opinion on whether your most-watched metrics survived the move. Fast, defensible, the front door. Nobody argues with it.
What OIM Verify is →Systematic assurance across the whole move, every test inspectable. Row counts match is not the bar. The metrics agreeing is.
What OIM Validate is →A standing watch on your operational data. It catches metric drift before it becomes a dispute, before someone acts on a number that quietly changed meaning.
What OIM Vigil is →The operational intelligence layer you own forever. The people who verified your migration, building the model your company keeps.
What The OIM is →Will the migration rewrite your history, or hold it?
The timeline is closing, and it waits on no one. Making sure a company’s history survives the move is a heavy thing to carry, and the team carrying it carries it alone. This is why the OIM was built: to share that weight.
The same convictions run through every rung of the ladder. They are why the work looks different from the software you have been sold before.
Your data lives with you, not on our servers. No per-seat fee, no cloud dependency, no vendor lock waiting on the other side. You own the infrastructure and you own what gets built on it. That is the whole arrangement, and it does not change once you sign.
Not an external framework, not our judgment. What your ERP calculated before the move, checked against what it calculates now. Nobody argues about whether the baseline was right, because the baseline is your own system’s numbers, not a standard we brought in from outside.
An outside opinion holds up in front of leadership in a way an internal one can’t. An in-house analyst checking their own migration has a stake in it looking clean. We don’t. That is the structural thing you are actually buying, and it is why the answer is worth trusting.
The whole thing runs on hardware you already have. No cluster, no cloud, no data team to stand it up. It has been stress-tested well past the volume a mid-market plant will ever throw at it, run after run, without failing. If it holds there, it holds on your floor.
“I migrated 30,000+ orders feeding five public-facing metrics. Being wrong wasn’t an option.”
I’ve spent more than fifteen years at a major electric utility, over a decade of it in operations: designing work orders, coordinating with operations teams, running planning and scheduling. Along the way I built and delivered data products that gave entire organizations a shared view of the truth. I know what it costs when the numbers don’t survive a system change, because I’ve been the one accountable for them.
That’s why the work starts with proof. The numbers have to be trustworthy before anything gets built on top of them.
Short, opinionated writing from someone who’s actually run operations.
Read the Dispatch →The migration vendor confirmed the data loaded. That is not the same thing as your metrics surviving the move. Why independent verification matters, even when the same person architected both ends.
One conversation, a straight answer on what the numbers are doing and whether this is the right way to find out.
Practical takes on manufacturing data, ERP analytics, and the real work of turning messy source systems into something you can trust.
