Problem

Businesses in manufacturing, logistics, and similar sectors often struggle to make data-driven decisions, hindering operational efficiency and innovation. This challenge stems from two key issues:

1. Valuable data remains trapped in legacy systems, inaccessible for modern analytics and AI applications.
2. Connecting these systems to extract actionable insights is typically expensive, time-consuming, and requires specialized talent.

Currently, companies resort to costly system integration services, often spending millions on projects that take months to implement and are difficult to maintain. This status quo not only drains resources but also results in rigid solutions that struggle to adapt to changing business needs. As a result, many companies fail to capitalize on their data assets, risking their competitive edge in an increasingly digital market.
