The production report is hand-built from the ERP every morning.
ANVIL / Production numbers
Your export. Verified numbers.
The report you rebuild every morning is already in your system. ANVIL is row-by-row interrogation of a manufacturer's own production data, with a machine that refuses to guess. It works with any ERP or accounting system you already run. No integration project. No API dependency. Just the export your system already produces and verified findings you can tie to your own ledger.

The plant manager's Monday
The work is already in your system.
Scrap and downtime stay hidden until month end, and inspection logs only get read after a customer complaint.
Orders are retyped from PDFs and emails into the system.
ANVIL returns verified numbers from the export you already have, then takes over the hand-built morning report, running from the export with nothing installed on your floor.
From the anvil outward
Production numbers from the exports your floor already generates.
How the export demo works
Export, hand over, verified back.
The setup function is deliberately boring. You already know how to pull the report. We already know how to read it. Same-day turnaround is the demo that earns the assessment conversation.
01
Export from the system you already run
Pull a labor or production export from your ERP or accounting system. CSV or Excel is fine. If the file needs a clean CSV, we convert it on our side and keep your original untouched.
02
Hand it over
Send the file through the channel we agree on. Before it lands, we ask one mapping question if we need it: which column identifies the machine or work center. That kills the round trip on the day speed is the pitch.
03
Verified numbers back the same day
File lands, verified findings return the same day. Speed is the demo. You get baselines tied to your own system totals, reconciliation to one standard, rows in equal rows accounted; hours to the cent, and named numbers with chips that say measured, derived, held, or blocked.
04
Reconciliation before anything ships
We reproduce your summary numbers exactly under your convention and explain every delta. Rows in equal rows accounted; hours to the cent. The adapter refuses to write on any mismatch.
Works with any ERP
We read your export. Not your API.
The method is ERP-agnostic. Every production company's system exports the same long-format labor postings. We adapt to your columns, reconcile to your reports, and refuse when the file will not support an honest number.
Your system already has the data
Every manufacturer's ERP or shop system records labor postings in long format: one row per phase, per employee, per date. SYMAN, JobBOSS, E2, Epicor, Global Shop, and the rest all export the same shape. You run a report you already know how to run. We read the file.
No integration project
We do not ask you to rip out your ERP, wire APIs, or install anything on your floor. ANVIL adapts to your export columns and reconciles to one standard: rows in equal rows accounted; hours to the cent. It refuses to write if the math does not tie. Build on top of what already exists.
It could have printed a number. It refused.
Aggregates absorb outliers. Pivot tables blend spreads into one figure. ANVIL interrogates row by row and stops when the file cannot support an honest claim. A blind instrument's zero is unmeasured, not savings. That discipline is the product.
Any cell back to source file and row
Every externally named identifier traces to its exact source row. If we cannot show you the exact row a number came from, you have no reason to trust it. Our warehouse trace is the audit trail made literal: verified numbers with a defense card for every figure we print.
The doctrine
Actual Numbers, Verified, In the Ledger.
Every number is built once and checked twice against your own totals before it leaves us. Nothing is added up twice. The person who handed us the export is the one who gets the credit.
Actual
Numbers pulled from your file, not a model's guess. Hours are the real artifact. Dollars stay labor-only floors until your rate arrives, and the moment you supply yours we re-rate everything and lead with the correction.
Numbers
Single lines hidden in thousands that averages mechanically cannot see. Setup floors from your own history, indirect time sized honestly, short-run economics for quoting. Nothing is added up twice.
Verified
Every number is built once and checked twice against your own totals before it leaves us. We reproduce yours exactly, then keep the fixes your report dropped.
In
In your ledger, in your convention, in language your controller can re-run. We blame defective reports and conventions, never people on your floor. The person who handed us the export is the one who gets the credit.
the Ledger
Every correction to history is caught and reported. Append-only change ledger across the engagement. The integrity behind the numbers is what stands behind every figure we do print.
Commercial shape
Start small. Keep the plan.
Step 1
The fit check
A free 15-minute call. Bring one export; we return verified numbers from your file the same day.
Send the export by emailStep 2
The deep assessment
45 minutes. $497 for founding clients, the first ten businesses we sign. $999 after.
Beyond the one-file demo, we walk the whole operation, floor and office, name every time drain, and give you the prioritized plan you keep either way.
Step 3
The pilot
A 90-day pilot, scoped and priced separately after the plan. It proves the work on your floor before any wider implementation.
Bring one export.
Bring one export to the call. Verified numbers come back the same day; the assessment and the pilot follow only if the numbers earn them.
