Built by Someone Who Lived Plant Reality

ShadowOps exists because manufacturing teams need earlier visibility, clearer decisions, and practical recommendations—not another system replacement project.

The Story

Why We Built It

After years in ERP implementations and plant operations projects, one pattern kept repeating: the data existed, but risk surfaced too late for teams to react without firefighting.

Operations leaders needed a simpler layer above existing systems that could surface risk early, explain the root cause, and suggest the next best action.

  • ERP data is available but hard to translate into early risk signals
  • Constraint impact is often discovered after schedules are already broken
  • Teams spend too much time reacting and not enough time preventing
  • Decision accountability is inconsistent across operations workflows

ShadowOps was designed to solve that exact gap: improve visibility before deadlines slip and make decisions easier for manufacturing operators.

Our Mission

See Risk Earlier

Before your customer feels the pain, you know what will slip. Early visibility means early action.

Know Why

Not just "Job A is late." The exact constraint: material, labor, machine, or queue. Plain language, not cryptic dashboards.

Know What to Do Next

Recommendations you control. Audit trails for accountability. Decisions made with confidence, not guesses.

What We Believe

Read-Only by Default

Your data is yours. ShadowOps reads. You decide. We never auto-execute changes or override human judgment.

No Black Boxes

Every recommendation should be understandable. If you don't know why ShadowOps is telling you something, it's not useful.

Accountable Execution

Every decision is logged. Every recommendation is tracked. Know who did what and when. Accountability builds trust.

Real Implementation

No 6-month consulting engagements. No enterprise nonsense. 3-week pilot, then ongoing partnership.

Let's Build Better Operations Together

Run a pilot with your real plant data. See the risk, understand why, and make better decisions.
