Clairvient · The product arm of Mindlin Consulting

Keep every system you have. See everything. Know what to do next.

Clairvient is a second skin over the ERP you already own. It reads across your systems into one canonical data model, puts best-of-breed dashboards and BI on top of validated numbers, ranks what needs attention by business impact, and gives your team visual integration modules instead of scripts. And because the data is already mapped and clean, it's the safest preparation for an ERP migration you can buy — without replacing anything.

What it does for a plant that isn't going to rip and replace.

Most mid-market manufacturers run systems they can't afford to replace and can't afford to fly blind on. Clairvient is built for exactly that position.

01 / BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

Best-of-breed dashboards on numbers you can trust

Sales, procurement and on-time delivery, inventory, work orders and production, financials — a canonical model across every operational domain, with definitions written into each tile and drill-to-source on every number.

  • Unified reporting across plants and systems — even different ERPs
  • Exceptions ranked by dollar, timing and relationship impact
  • A morning digest and the "Why?" moment: ask, and get the transactions behind the number
  • Power BI packs when your finance team lives there
02 / VISUAL INTEGRATION

Integration your team can see and run

Connect & Reconcile shows every feed — what ran, what was rejected, why. MDM-Sync puts PLM and ERP master data side by side with approve-and-sync. InControl puts shop-floor workflows on a screen built for the job.

  • Read-only against your ERP; writes only through the vendor's transaction interface
  • Every run logged, every difference reconciled to root cause
  • Master-data compare and sync with a human in the loop
  • Shop-floor screens around the workflow, not the transaction code
03 / MIGRATION READINESS

Prepared to move — without betting the company on it

The cleansed, mapped canonical model is the migration package. Run the old and new ERP side by side with full reporting continuity, because the dashboards read canonical, not the source. Management never goes blind during cutover.

  • Migration readiness — data cleansed, mapped and SOPs rewritten before a partner discovers the mess on your dime
  • Source and target reported together during the transition
  • A perpetual data warehouse of your history that survives the ERP change
  • Or the honest finding that you don't need to move at all
Data trust is the product

No number ships without a reconciliation artifact.

Every dashboard vendor demos beautifully on their own dataset. The question is what happens on yours, on the Monday your controller pulls up the margin tile and compares it to the GL.

So the validation protocol is the product. Every measure is tied to the source system for at least three known test cases before it's turned on. Definitions are written into the tile. Alerts are fired against known-true data in both directions. The person who built it is never the person who signs it off. And any number, anywhere, drills to the transactions that produced it.

This is the same discipline we've used on every reconciliation for thirty years — the Oracle migration extracts, the French e-invoicing mandate, the forge shop whose scrap numbers disagreed with its legacy system. It just runs continuously now.

A demo that's 95% right is remembered for the 5%. So it's validated, or it isn't shown.

How it starts

Small. On your real data. Earning the next step.

01

Audit or one pack

A fixed-scope operational audit, or a single dashboard pack — procurement, sales, inventory — built on a read-only extract of your real data and validated before you see it.

02

Morning digest

The ranked exception list your managers open before their first coffee. This is where the "We didn't know that" moments happen, and where the case for the next module makes itself.

03

Expand — or migrate — with confidence

More domains, integration modules, shop-floor screens. Or, with the model already clean and mapped, the migration you'd been dreading becomes a controlled, reported cutover.

Straight answers

Questions about Clairvient.

Does Clairvient replace our ERP?
No, and that's the whole point. Keep every system you already have. Clairvient reads across them into one canonical model and puts a modern layer on top: validated dashboards, ranked exceptions, a morning digest, integration screens, and a data foundation that's ready if you ever do move. Your ERP keeps doing what it does.
How do we know the numbers are right?
Because no number ships without a reconciliation artifact. Every measure is tied back to the source system for known test cases, definitions are written into the tile, and alerts are proven against known-true data in both directions before you see them. Drill from any number to the transactions behind it. Data trust is the product.
What does it connect to?
Fourth Shift, SAP, NetSuite, Syspro, AccountMate, HubSpot, PLM systems and more, plus in-house databases and spreadsheets. Each source lands in the same canonical model, which is why a plant on Fourth Shift and a division on SAP can share one dashboard.
We're planning an ERP migration. Is this still relevant?
It's most relevant then. Clairvient runs source and target side by side with full reporting continuity — the dashboards read the canonical model, not the ERP — so management never goes blind during cutover. And the cleansed, mapped data model you build now is the migration package you'd otherwise pay a partner to discover.
How does it start?
Usually with a fixed-scope operational audit or one dashboard pack on your real data — validated, not a demo dataset. If it earns the next step, we expand. Each step pays for the one after it.
