Built for industrial SMEs

The operational-excellence system the majors pay fortunes for — priced for you.

We build OPEREX for small and mid-size continuous-process plants — chemicals, energy, steel — that still run the shift on paper, a spreadsheet and a WhatsApp group. A modern system that complements what you already have, so everyone can move forward — not only the companies with a seven-figure IT budget.

What running a shift looks like today

For most mid-size plants the shift record isn't in dedicated software — it's spread across three tools that were never built for it.

Paper

A handover book one hand writes; the open item is lost the moment it isn't copied over.

Excel

log_v3_FINAL_fixed.xlsx on a shared drive — file locks, “read-only”, and nothing findable six months later.

WhatsApp

The real handover happens in a chat group — off the record, with no audit trail and no accountability.

The thesis

You don't need a Fortune-500 budget for operational excellence.

The majors run their operations on suites that cost a fortune to license and years to roll out. OPEREX gives a mid-size plant the same execution-layer capability — auditable shift records, carried-over tasks, event handling, reporting — as an affordable, modern system you can adopt at your own maturity, one module at a time.

Where OPEREX fits — it complements, it doesn't replace

Whatever you already run stays. OPEREX is the layer beneath it, where the work actually happens on the floor.

Layer 1 · System of record
ERP
Transactional backbone — finance, procurement, materials, orders (e.g. SAP).
plant-wide · transactional
Layer 2 · Asset management
CMMS / EAM
Asset registry, work orders, maintenance strategy (e.g. SAP PM, Maximo).
asset · work-order lifecycle
Layer 3 · Execution
OPEREX
The operational execution layer: shift handover, events, tasks and the auditable datapoint — recorded as the shift runs.
▸ the “last meter” of operational excellence

Who owns what

ERP

Transactions & master data

  • Finance, procurement, HR
  • Material & order flow
  • Plant-wide master data
CMMS / EAM

Assets & maintenance

  • Asset registry & hierarchy
  • Work orders & PM plans
  • Maintenance strategy
OPEREX

Daily execution

  • Shift handover, accountable
  • Event & task capture, carried over
  • The shift-by-shift auditable record
One clarification

Already run a full EAM/CMMS (SAP PM, Maximo)? OPEREX sits above it as the execution layer and feeds it. Don't have one — like most mid-size plants? The OPEREX Maintenance module is the light option, so you don't have to buy a heavyweight system you'll never fully use.

Built for how an SME actually buys

Predictable cost

A custom quote per module and a predictable annual fee — no seven-figure licence, no multi-year rollout.

Your data, in the EU

EU data residency by default (GDPR); dedicated or on-premise / air-gapped deployment when an audit demands it.

Adopt at your pace

Start with the shift log, add modules as you're ready. One core, growing modules — never a big-bang migration.

The shift log is the daily execution layer of operational excellence — its “last meter.” The top-down OE framework — process safety, reliability, efficiency — becomes a concrete, auditable datapoint here, shift by shift. We complement the systems you already run; we don't ask you to rip anything out.

Let's start a pilot

We'll show you OPEREX on your own operational processes — no strings attached.
