Between your shop floor and your software, there’s a gap. We work in it.
DataProStudio gives SMB manufacturers and distributors a fractional business systems analyst — process mining, ERP rollouts, supply-chain mapping, RMA clean-up — without adding headcount.
- Work orders slip and nobody can say exactly where the time went.
- Every ERP rollout eats months of your best people’s time.
- The system says one thing. The floor does another.
Four ways to plug us in
Senior, hands-on help scoped to a project or a few days a week — not a body-shop contract.
Process mining & business analysis
Mine your actual event data to see how work really flows, document requirements, and translate between operations and IT. Support for ERP rollouts, upgrades, and reporting clean-up projects.
Application support
Functional support for ERP, WMS, and SaaS systems your team relies on — plus user guides, knowledge bases, and training sessions that stick.
Project coordination
Track milestones, manage project documents, and coordinate vendors. Keep the rollout on schedule without the overhead of a full-time PM.
RMA & reverse logistics
Analyze return workflows and bottlenecks. Improve ERP/WMS integration and reporting to cut cycle time and recover margin.
Data science & reporting
Dashboards, forecasting, and one-off analyses when a question needs more than a pivot table — built on the data you already have.
The expertise, not the headcount
Flexible
Part-time or project-based. Scale up for the rollout, scale down when it ships.
Affordable
Senior help at a fraction of a full-time salary — you pay for the hours the project actually needs.
Practical
Hands-on experience on both sides of the fence: warehouse floors and system configs.
A full-time senior business analyst in BC runs roughly $110k+ a year before benefits. Most SMB projects need that expertise for a few months, a few days a week — that’s the gap fractional support fills.
Discover first. Automate last.
The same sequence on every engagement — whether the fix ends up being a process change, an ERP tweak, or DPS8020 running it going forward.
We map what’s actually happening — from your ERP, WMS, and floor data, not from the org chart or the SOP binder.
Find the handful of bottlenecks actually costing you time and margin — not a 40-item backlog, just what’s worth fixing first.
Redesign the workflow around the fix that matters most, and prove it works by hand before anyone touches a system config.
Only once the fix is proven. That’s when your ERP — or DPS8020 — takes it from there.
Most software vendors start at step 4. We start by finding out where it’s actually worth it.
One platform. Wherever your data needs to live.
