// In the wild

Inputs and supply.

Supplier invoices, GRNs, rate cards - ingested, parsed, benchmarked. Drift in input cost flagged before it eats your margin.

  • Cost per supplier benchmarked in real time
  • Margin contribution per supplier, not just $/unit
  • Switch alerts when margin drops below target
  • Daily reconciliation across rate cards, invoices, GRNs

// People & labour

The plant runs on people.

Shift workers, agency cover, contractors and salaried staff - all moving on different rosters and rate cards. Quarri pulls timesheets, invoices and rota systems into one view, so labour cost is always tied back to throughput.

01

Roster & overtime control.

Live shift rosters across sites and lines. Real-time alerts on overtime and agency spend before they eat the margin.

02

Demand-tuned staffing.

Crews matched to shift demand, throughput, and historical yield. Bench time and reactive cover collapsed.

03

Plant labour cost.

Cost per unit broken down by line, shift, and skill mix - reconciled across timesheets, invoices, and the GL.

04

Compliance & training.

Certifications, training expiry, and safety records tracked from paper records. Audit-ready before the auditor arrives.

  • Per-product input + output across every site
  • Safety-stock alerts before the stockout
  • Lead time per supplier, not buried in the ERP
  • Critical SKUs surfaced; routine ones suppressed
