Specialized — Data Bridge

Shop-Floor Data Pipelines & Shadow IT Removal

Engagement Model: Targeted Sprint | Full code handover and automated alerts

Ideal for: CTOs and Digitization Managers wanting to eliminate manual spreadsheet re-keying securely.

Our Non-Negotiable Independence Standard

Most IT consultancies maintain certified partner relationships with ERP software vendors, earning 15–30% commissions on software license sales and benefiting when implementation projects drag on.

ERP Reality Check receives zero commissions from software vendors. We are engineers and systems architects who evaluate your operations strictly from your business and financial interests.
