At Catalyst BI, we help you unify your data and modernise your analytics to empower your teams, optimise production, and build a resilient, data-driven enterprise.

Deliver a 7-Figure ROI by monetising shared data access with supply chain partners

Are Inefficiencies in Your Supply Chain Limiting Growth?

The manufacturing industry faces unique pressures that can impact everything from the factory floor to the bottom line.
Fragmented Legacy Systems:

Data is often trapped in siloed factory and enterprise systems (like SAP), preventing a single, unified view of your operations and supply chain.

Lack of Real-Time Visibility:

Without real-time stock reporting and demand forecasting, it's difficult to align inventory with sales, leading to costly inefficiencies and missed opportunities.

Rising Operational Costs:

Increasing energy prices and complex production processes make it challenging to identify and reduce waste, impacting both profitability and sustainability goals.

Slow Response to Market Changes:

Outdated data processes prevent you from reacting quickly to volatile customer demand, putting you a step behind the competition.

How can you break down these data barriers to create a smarter, more connected manufacturing operation?

The Solution: A Modern Data & Analytics Ecosystem

We unify your critical data from factory floor systems, SAP, ERPs, and supply chain partners into a single source of truth. This provides the clean, governed foundation needed for reliable analytics and smarter, faster decisions.

Real-World Impact for Global Manufacturers

Our solutions deliver tangible results, enabling you to modernise operations, reduce costs, and gain a competitive edge.

Reduce Manufacturing Costs and Carbon Footprint

Challenge: A global chemical company needed to gain visibility into energy consumption to control rising costs, which represented 3% of global sales.

Solution: We combined data from factory systems (Aspentech) and SAP on a single platform, enabling analysis of energy intensity down to the product level.

Result: A 1% reduction in energy consumption saves over £500,000 annually. The solution also reduced IT licensing costs by £156k per year.
Streamline the Supply Chain with Real-Time Data Sharing

Challenge: Wickes, a major UK retailer needed to respond to rapidly changing customer demand during a volatile period to stay ahead of the competition.

Solution: We enabled proactive data sharing with their suppliers, providing real-time insights into sales and inventory.

Result: Achieved a 137% week-on-week sales uplift by staying ahead of demand, while also creating a revenue stream by monetising data access for suppliers.
