Recover the margin your manufacturing business is quietly losing.
American Industrial Data monitors your ERP, accounting, time clock, and shipping data every day, catches the pricing, billing, and cost leaks draining your profit, and shows you exactly how many dollars are recoverable.
Built for industrial & discrete manufacturers
Industry research estimates 1 to 3 percent of annual revenue sits unrecovered inside COGS at any given time, invisible to standard reporting. On a $50M manufacturer, that is up to $1.5M of profit leaking every year.
Your ERP validates transactions. It doesn't protect your margin.
Margin leakage hides in the gap between your operations and your books. Every invoice posts, every payment clears, every report reconciles, and profit still disappears. By the time it shows up at quarter close, the window to recover it has usually passed.
Prices drift from contract
Discount overrides and price-book deviations quietly erode margin on invoices that look correct.
Freight never gets billed
Carrier costs get paid out but never passed through to the customer who generated them.
Finished goods sit uninvoiced
Completed jobs age on the floor as raw material in your system, tying up cash you already earned.
Labor variance goes unrecovered
Actual labor runs over standard on specific jobs and no one prices the difference back in.
Vendor credits go unclaimed
Rebates and supplier credits expire inside claim windows your team never had time to work.
Tariffs and costs aren't passed through
Input cost inflation and customs charges get absorbed instead of recovered in pricing.
Continuous monitoring, from raw data to recovered dollars.
Margin Intelligence sits on top of the systems you already run. No rip-and-replace, no new ERP.
