SquareShift helps manufacturers catch defects sooner and find the plant's past work faster.

We work across workflow automation, decision intelligence, Looker BI, search, observability, and AI-led engineering for plant, quality, service, and industrial IT teams.

Quality, defects and rework Field service and warranty Production reporting and maintenance Plant systems and industrial IT

01 Manufacturing credibility

We understand the plant data, service records, quality systems, and closed networks manufacturers run.

Our manufacturing work spans quality data, service records, automotive platforms, logistics environments, and closed networks. That context shapes how we apply AI, analytics, search, and observability.

02 AI workflow automation

The delay is usually the handoff, not the decision.

SquareShift maps the workflow, automates repeatable steps, and keeps named review where plant or customer decisions require it.

Explore AI agentic workflows

Non-conformance reports

Read the report, pull part and batch history, and route the case to quality engineering.

Supplier claims

Match claims against inspection, defect photos, warranty records, and purchase data.

Warranty triage

Group field failures by symptom, build history, geography, and part family before review.

Maintenance follow-up

Turn shift notes, work orders, and sensor flags into a queue a supervisor can act on.

Engineering change requests

Collect quality, production, service, and supplier impact notes before sign-off.

Parts substitutions

Check manuals, stock position, supplier constraints, and service history before recommending an alternative.

03 Decision intelligence and conversational BI

Plant leaders should not learn what happened from the shift report.

SquareShift builds conversational BI on approved production metrics, so managers can ask plain-English questions about yield, downtime, quality, service, and supply risk.

Explore decision intelligence

Shift performance

Ask for first-pass yield, downtime, scrap, or throughput by line, cell, shift, or supervisor.

Quality containment

Trace which lots, lines, suppliers, or service regions are tied to a defect pattern.

Maintenance prioritization

Compare downtime drivers, overdue work orders, repeat failures, and parts availability.

Warranty exposure

Estimate which field issues are growing by product family, build date, market, and supplier.

Supply chain risk

Connect late parts, supplier quality events, and production impact before the weekly report.

Executive reporting

Give plant, finance, service, and quality leaders the same governed number.

04 BI migration and data platform work

Move manufacturing reporting to Looker without losing the production number people trust.

SquareShift joins quality, production, service, and finance data, then uses Dashport to assess, translate, migrate, and assure reporting moves to Looker.

Explore BI migration Explore data & BI

Plant scorecards

Migrate yield, scrap, downtime, and throughput dashboards without changing definitions.

Finance reconciliation

Align plant performance reporting with cost, inventory, and warranty numbers finance already trusts.

Quality reporting

Move defect, rework, audit, and supplier dashboards into a governed Looker semantic layer.

Service analytics

Bring dealer, field-service, warranty, and parts reporting onto the same model as production data.

Dashboard rationalization

Find duplicate reports before migration so the new estate is smaller.

Cutover assurance

Validate visuals, data, and SQL-level parity before plant and finance users are moved.

05 Document intelligence and search

The fix is usually already documented somewhere nobody can find.

SquareShift builds semantic and hybrid search across service history, quality reports, manuals, parts catalogs, supplier files, and product knowledge.

Explore AI-powered search Explore document intelligence

Quality issue matching

Surface the closest historical issues for a new report, including bilingual records when needed.

Manual search

Find procedures, drawings, service bulletins, and technical notes without keyword guessing.

Parts knowledge

Search parts catalogs, substitutions, supplier notes, and service history in one retrieval path.

Dealer support

Give service operations cited answers from approved manuals, bulletins, and warranty records.

Supplier files

Find certificates, corrective actions, specifications, and quality files by meaning and permission.

Product search

Improve search inside equipment portals, industrial commerce sites, and customer-facing parts catalogs.

06 Observability and AIOps

Downtime starts as a signal nobody was watching.

SquareShift unifies logs, metrics, traces, and operational signals, then adds anomaly detection and triage for segmented, on-prem, or air-gapped environments.

Explore observability

Line telemetry

Correlate plant-system signals with application and infrastructure events before a line stops.

Air-gapped monitoring

Deploy observability where external network access is unavailable and updates must be controlled.

Global log replication

Replicate high-volume logs across automotive platforms without one failure point.

Maintenance alerts

Use anomaly detection on plant and application telemetry to flag drift before downtime.

Supply chain platforms

Monitor logistics and transportation data pipelines during migration, cutover, and production run.

Industrial IT handoff

Give plant operations, service operations, and IT one place to see incidents and evidence.

07 AI-led app and platform engineering

Build the manufacturing apps, portals, and workflow systems your operations team cannot wait for.

When the work is an app, platform, integration, or workflow system, SquareShift uses AI-assisted engineering with senior ownership and the delivery model that fits the constraint.

Build movement

Use this when the answer is software, not another report.

Use this for a quality application, aftersales tool, production reporting layer, maintenance workflow, supplier portal, or industrial data platform.
