In three weeks, NetForge brings together spending, production data and maintenance histories. Understand cost variances and establish costed priorities to support your decisions.
Built on your existing data. No heavy integration.

Responsiveness
A clearly scoped mission, with conclusions in three weeks.
Expertise
Engineers who connect costs to the constraints of your installations.
Rigor
Spending traced to its sources, with explicit assumptions.
Partnership
Finance, maintenance and production help define priorities.
Proximity
Direct contact with our engineers, close to your operations.
Scope
One cost. One scope. One decision.
Rising spending, recurring repairs or a budget to prepare: we investigate a line, a workshop or an asset family with your teams.
Your data provides the starting point.
Invoices, ERP and CMMS exports, consumption and production volumes: we bring together the available sources for the chosen scope.
We explain the differences.
Prices, activity, consumption or repair frequency: our engineers connect the figures to operations to understand what drives costs.
You prepare informed decisions.
Spending to anticipate and actions to take are reviewed with finance and operations in a costed 90-day plan.
Process
From understanding costs to preparing decisions.

Week 1 · Scope and reconcile
ERP and invoices
Documented spending is matched to assets and the period under review. Shared costs and unallocated amounts are identified.
Week 1 · Scope and reconcile
Production and energy
Production volumes, consumption and operating conditions help distinguish activity changes from price or operating effects.
Week 1 · Scope and reconcile
CMMS and documents
Interventions, parts consumed, quotes and technical documents shed light on maintenance spending and the options to examine.
Week 1 · Scope and reconcile
Finance and operations
Your teams clarify allocation rules, production constraints and the decision to prepare. They review the assumptions behind the analysis.
Week 1 · Scope and reconcile
Reconciled costs
Each amount retains its source and period. Recorded spending, allocated costs and estimates remain distinct to avoid double counting.
Week 2 · Explain variances
Recurring spending
We compare repairs, parts and services to understand recurring spending and its possible causes.
Week 2 · Explain variances
Prices and consumption
We examine price, volume and consumption per unit produced, using the available data.
Week 2 · Explain variances
Causes and constraints
History, operating conditions and documentation help investigate the technical causes of excess costs and the constraints on potential solutions.
Week 2 · Explain variances
Economic impacts
We distinguish spending commitments from potential losses, considering downtime, fallback options and recoverable production.
Week 3 · Cost and prioritise
Action plan
A costed 90-day plan connects priorities, spending to anticipate, owners and deadlines. Assumptions are reviewed with finance and operations.
Week 2 · Explain variances
A shared view of costs
Recurring spending, price and volume effects, technical causes and economic consequences are brought together to explain variances.
Deliverable
Explained costs. Costed priorities.
Five deliverables to understand variances, prepare spending and decide what comes next. Finance and operations work from the same sources and assumptions.

The decision it supports
What explains spending on this asset?
Your next decisions
A course of action for each cost.
Rising costs do not always call for replacement. The diagnostic helps you choose between adjusting maintenance, completing the data, investigating an option or preparing an investment.
Maintenance
Understand recurring repairs and target useful maintenance actions.
What comes next
Weigh maintenance spending against the consequences of acting or deferring.
Link parts, labour and services to interventions.
Examine repair frequency and its possible causes.
Prioritise actions by cost and production constraints.
Why is this asset becoming more expensive to maintain?
Data to complete
Resolve cost or measurement uncertainty before committing spending.
What comes next
Identify the information that could change the decision and how to obtain it.
Identify unallocated spending and missing measurements.
Agree shared cost allocation rules with finance.
Target additional data collection only where it informs the choice.
Is the higher bill driven by tariffs, volume or consumption?
Focused study
Check the feasibility and economic assumptions behind a modification.
What comes next
Scope the checks needed to compare feasible solutions.
Define the operational need and safety and production constraints.
Collect quotes and check expected performance.
Define the calculations needed to compare spending and expected benefits.
Would an upgrade address the excess costs observed?
Investment
Prepare a choice between maintenance, upgrade and replacement.
What comes next
Bring together options on a common time frame and for an equivalent level of service.
Examine future spending for each option, from purchase to operation.
Distinguish planned spending from potential losses and clarify assumptions.
Identify options to investigate before approving the budget.
Should we keep repairing or prepare a replacement?
The diagnostic can stand alone or complement REX. An in-depth study, additional data collection or financing support is scoped separately.
FAQ
What to clarify before getting started.
Which cost do you want to understand?
A rising energy bill, recurring repairs or spending to anticipate: let’s define the question and the data needed for your decision.
Invoices, ERP and CMMS exports, spreadsheets, consumption and production volumes provide the starting point. We select the sources relevant to the question under review. No complex integration or new sensors are needed to start.
A designated contact coordinates data access and discussions with finance, maintenance and production. Interviews and the review session are arranged during scoping, based on the scope and your teams’ availability.
We distinguish documented spending, allocated amounts and estimates. Allocation rules are reviewed with your teams; unallocated amounts remain visible. Missing data is not treated as zero cost.
A fixed price, set for a scope defined during a first conversation. It does not change during the engagement.
Your data and the analyses produced belong to you. We receive the agreed sources, store and process them locally and securely, then return the deliverables to you. The work stays in a closed loop between your organisation and NetForge. We do not sell or transfer your data.
No. The diagnostic is a standalone engagement to answer a focused question; it can also investigate an issue identified in REX. Your teams can implement the plan themselves. REX supports ongoing monitoring, and an investment study can examine an option in greater depth if needed.
