Case Studies
Food Manufacturer: Cutting Waste & Recovering £120K in Hidden Production Losses
A mid-sized UK food & beverage manufacturer had no visibility into true production costs — ERP, accounting, and inventory systems were completely siloed. Waste tracking was manual and unreliable.
Solution:
Optimira built a unified data pipeline connecting production, supply chain, and financial data into a single real-time dashboard with automated waste tracking and OEE monitoring.
Result:
£120K in annual production waste identified and eliminated
Full batch-level traceability from raw material to finished product
Compliance reporting time reduced from days to minutes
Textile Printing: From 1 Week to 1 Click Inventory Reports Clarity
A fabric printing studio spent one week per month reconciling inventory across three systems with no real-time view of stock or production costs.
Solution:
Optimira automated their ETL process and built a live inventory dashboard integrated with their ERP and accounting system.
Result:
93% improvement in ETL efficiency
Stockout incidents eliminated, saving £30K+ in lost sales
Inventory analysis reduced from 1 week to 1 click
Apparel Brand: From Guessing Margins to Real-Time Profit Visibility
A growing apparel manufacturer had no visibility into per-product profitability — 80% of products were generating only 20% of revenue, but nobody could see it.
Solution:
Optimira connected production costs, pricing, and sales data into a unit economics dashboard with per-product, per-channel visibility.
Result:
True profitability visible per product, per channel, per customer
Pricing revised, recovering £80K in annual margin
Revenue forecasting now beats projections by 20%
Custom Apparel: Uncovering £1M in Hidden Marketing Waste
A UK custom apparel manufacturer lacked visibility into which channels were driving profitable orders — ERP, Shopify, and ad platforms were completely siloed.
Solution:
Optimira built a unified data pipeline connecting marketing, e-commerce, and production cost data into a single dashboard.
Result:
£1M in annual marketing waste identified and eliminated
Decision-making time reduced from weeks to minutes
Full order-level attribution from ad click to manufacturing cost
