Manufacturing Analytics

Your yield loss rate is costing you
more than you think.

Upload your production log, scrap report, or ERP export. YieldSentinel calculates yield loss by product, line, shift, and reason code — then ranks the top three fixes by annual dollar impact. No BI tool. No data team. No IT project.

Featured modules

Five modules built around manufacturing loss

Each module answers a specific question your ERP can report on — but can't diagnose. Run one or all five; each works from a single CSV export.

Free module

Yield Loss Analytics

Scrap by product, reason, line, and shift. Waterfall chart. Top 3 fixes ranked by dollar impact. Industry benchmarks for your category. Free — no account required.

8–14%
Typical yield loss rate range in SMB food manufacturing — most operators don't know their exact number
Starter

Inventory Intelligence

Days of cover, dead stock by SKU, expiry alerts, reorder gap analysis, and blocked stock flags. Designed for item masters and warehouse exports — not custom ERP queries.

$86K
Typical dead stock value surfaced in a first upload for a $20M manufacturer
Finance

Procurement & Cost Variance

Purchase price variance by vendor and material, maverick spend detection, tariff exposure by commodity, and OTD analysis — from your purchasing or AP export.

7–12%
Average unfavorable PPV rate uncovered in first procurement analysis for mid-market manufacturers
Starter

BOM Costing

Upload your item master and BOM structure. Get raw material cost per finished unit, cost waterfall by category, and tariff exposure by component — without touching your ERP.

Unit cost
Per-SKU cost breakdown visible in 60 seconds — no ERP configuration, no IT request
Starter

Variance Fingerprint™

Predictive anomaly detection that characterises your specific cost variance pattern — high yield-loss, inventory-aging, procurement-variance — and surfaces early warning signals before they compound.

2–3 wks
Average early-warning lead time before a yield drop becomes visible in standard ERP reporting

📊 Why manufacturers use this: Catches calibration drift, supplier substitution effects, and seasonal scrap spikes 2–3 weeks before they show up in your monthly reports — when you can still do something about them.

“We'd been tracking yield loss manually for two years. The first upload showed us Line 3 was responsible for 61% of total scrap — something the spreadsheet had hidden in the average.”

Plant Manager, specialty food manufacturer — $18M revenue

“Our ERP had procurement variance reporting. It just required three custom reports and a data analyst to interpret them. YieldSentinel gave us the same answer from a CSV export in 90 seconds.”

Operations Director, light industrial manufacturer — $34M revenue

“The Profit Recovery Brief™ goes to our board. It's the first time they've seen operational leakage ranked by annual dollar impact in a format they can actually read.”

CFO, contract manufacturer — $52M revenue
Common questions

We hear these every week

We already have an ERP. Why do we need another analytics tool?
Your ERP records transactions — production orders, receipts, POs, inventory movements. YieldSentinel analyses the financial pattern underneath those transactions: why yield loss is concentrated in one shift, which supplier is driving PPV, which SKUs are tying up working capital with no turns. ERPs are excellent at recording data. They're not built to diagnose what the data means in dollar terms — especially without a dedicated BI team or custom report development.
Our data is messy — we have inconsistent reason codes and missing fields.
Messy data is the default for SMB manufacturers. YieldSentinel is built around real-world ERP exports, not clean data warehouse outputs. The upload process identifies usable columns automatically, handles missing fields, and flags data quality issues before analysis so you know what the results are based on. You don't need a data warehouse or a BI consultant to start.
We track scrap in a spreadsheet already. What's different here?
A spreadsheet tracks the total. YieldSentinel ranks every combination of product, line, shift, and reason code by dollar impact — then identifies which specific combination is responsible for the majority of the loss. The top-3 fixes output is the key difference: it tells you not just what the scrap rate is, but exactly where to focus and what fixing it is worth annually.
Will this work with our ERP's export format?
If your ERP can export to CSV or Excel, YieldSentinel can work with it. The platform is designed around standard export formats from NetSuite, SAP Business One, SYSPRO, Epicor, QuickBooks, and custom ERP systems. The CSV template guide shows exactly which columns each module uses — you map your export columns once and it works every time.
