Industrial Services and Distribution

Your ERP has the data. Your team cannot get it out.

CorrDyn extracts, transforms, and visualizes data from legacy ERPs and outdated reporting tools so industrial operations teams can finally see their numbers.

Common Challenges

The data problems we solve in industrial services and distribution are specific, recurring, and well-understood from years of delivery.

Legacy ERP as the single source of pain

Your ERP holds decades of operational data. Extracting anything useful requires outdated reporting tools, manual exports, or asking IT for a custom query that takes weeks.

Production visibility is a daily scramble

Key productivity metrics — output per labor hour, work in progress, pick rates, route efficiency — are tracked manually or not at all. Supervisors piece together yesterday's numbers from multiple systems every morning.

Warehouse and fleet data in separate silos

Inventory, picking, shipping, route management, and chemical/utility usage data live in different systems. Cross-functional analysis requires manual data assembly.

No path from data to decisions

Leadership knows the data exists somewhere in the ERP. But there is no dashboard, no report, and no analyst who can turn operational data into the KPIs that drive decisions.

Our Approach

How CorrDyn works with industrial services and distribution companies.

01The Data Problem in Industrial Services

Industrial services and distribution companies operate on a paradox: their ERP systems contain decades of operational data, and almost none of it is accessible for decision-making. Legacy ERPs like JD Edwards, SAP, or Oracle run the business, but getting a production dashboard, a route efficiency report, or a warehouse productivity analysis out of these systems requires outdated reporting tools, manual exports, or a request to an overloaded IT team.

The result is supervisors who piece together yesterday's numbers from printouts and spreadsheets every morning. Plant managers who know production is down but cannot pinpoint where. Leadership that makes investment decisions based on monthly financials instead of daily operational KPIs.

02What CorrDyn Builds for Industrial Services

Operational dashboards from legacy ERP data. We connect directly to your ERP — whatever it is — and build transformation layers that turn raw transactional data into the metrics your team actually needs. At an industrial distributor, we built automated reporting on sales orders and warehouse picker productivity that replaced entirely manual processes. At a commercial laundry service, we assessed data infrastructure across two plant facilities covering production output, inventory management, route optimization, and chemical usage.

Manual reporting elimination. At an industrial distributor, CorrDyn eliminated 42 hours per month of manual reporting and 1 hour 15 minutes per day of data extraction time. The same data that used to require manual assembly now flows automatically into dashboards that operations teams check every morning.

Data infrastructure assessments for industrial operations. At a commercial laundry service, we conducted a full Data Infrastructure and Ecosystem Assessment covering existing data systems, business needs, technology selection, and implementation roadmap. Discovery meetings included operations leadership, IT, and plant facility staff across two locations.

Platform evaluation and modernization. We help industrial companies evaluate whether Databricks, Snowflake, or other modern platforms fit their needs and data volumes, avoiding over-engineering and selecting tools that match their actual complexity.

03Why Industrial Companies Choose CorrDyn

We speak the language of operations, not just data. Output per labor hour, pick rates, route efficiency, work in progress: these are the KPIs that matter to plant managers and warehouse supervisors. We build dashboards that show these numbers, sourced from the ERP systems that already hold the data, without requiring a multi-year platform migration.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Can CorrDyn work with our existing ERP system?
Yes. We have direct experience extracting and transforming data from legacy ERPs like JD Edwards, SAP, and Oracle. We build extraction layers that work alongside your ERP without disrupting operations — no platform swap required.
What does a data assessment look like for an industrial company?
We conduct discovery meetings across plant facilities covering production tracking, inventory management, route optimization, and operational KPIs. At a commercial laundry service, this included meetings at two plant facilities and interviews with operations, IT, and leadership. The output is a prioritized roadmap, not a generic recommendations deck.
How does CorrDyn handle legacy reporting tools?
We treat legacy BI as a data source, not an enemy. We extract the logic embedded in existing reports — whether they live in Crystal Reports, SSRS, or Excel macros — reproduce it in modern transformation models, validate that numbers match, and then build dashboards that replace the manual process.
What operational KPIs does CorrDyn typically build dashboards for?
Production metrics like output per labor hour and work-in-progress tracking, warehouse productivity (pick rate, lines per hour), route efficiency, inventory turns, chemical and utility usage, and customer service metrics. The specific KPIs depend on your operations, but we have built dashboards for all of these.
Can CorrDyn help us evaluate new platforms like Databricks or Fabric?
Yes. We help industrial companies evaluate platforms based on actual needs and data volumes, not vendor marketing. At one client, we ran a side-by-side comparison of Databricks and Fabric as part of a broader modernization effort.
