The operations problem

The data exists. The insight arrives after it matters.

Five sites. Five SQDCP spreadsheets. Zero alignment by 8 AM.

Every plant tracks safety, quality, delivery, cost, and people its own way. By the time corporate ops gets the week's data, the week is already half over. There's no shared view, no early warning, and no consistent benchmark across the portfolio.

Past-due orders surface at shift handoff, not standup.

Your ERP holds the shipment data. But pulling past-due orders across multiple sites and systems means someone builds an Excel file every morning, or nobody does. By the time a customer calls, the order has been late for days and no one owned it.

Capacity limits buried in your ERP, invisible to the people scheduling work.

Work center loading lives in the production module. Labor efficiency lives in time tracking. Neither is visible to the planner building next week's schedule. Overcommitments don't surface until a work center is already at 110% and delivery promises are already made.

IQ Insights
Supplier performance summarized before the quarterly review.

IQ Insights generates a performance brief for every supplier in your portfolio: on-time rate, fill rate, lead time trend, and quality signals. Written in plain English, updated continuously, and ready before every meeting.

SQDCP Framework

Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, People. One consolidated view across every site.

Operations IQ pulls SQDCP data from every plant using two complementary inputs, each covering what the other cannot.

Delivery (OTS), Cost (labor actuals vs. budget), and People (open headcount) flow directly from your ERP with no manual entry. Quality (FPY) and Safety (incident counts, LTI) are entered by plant managers through Marquis's structured daily form — a simple, purpose-built input designed to replace the safety and quality spreadsheets that never make it to corporate on time. The form is designed for the plant floor, not a back-office analyst. It takes under two minutes per site.

The result is a single morning scorecard your ops leadership can act on before the shift starts. Each pillar shows the current KPI, the threshold status, and the trend. A green dot means the site is on track. Amber means watch it. Red means someone is already on the phone.

What's included
ERP-sourced metrics, Delivery (OTS), Cost, and People pulled automatically, no manual input
Daily safety & quality entry forms, structured input for FPY and incident counts, no spreadsheet, under 2 minutes per site
Executive SQDCP dashboards, portfolio rollup for ops leadership and PE operating partners
Threshold-based alerts, notifications when any site breaks a KPI threshold

On-Time Shipment

Stop finding out about late orders at the customer complaint.

Operations IQ tracks on-time shipment against the customer's promised date across every plant and every ERP. The rolling 30-, 90-, and 12-month views let you see whether on-time performance is improving, where lateness concentrates by day-bucket, and which sites need intervention.

The lateness breakdown shows you not just whether orders are late, but how late. A business improving from 30-day misses to 1-day misses is on a fundamentally different trajectory than one with a flat OTS line. Operations IQ separates those two stories.

Alerts fire when OTS drops below threshold at any site. The same data feeds the Daily Order Triage so your team knows which at-risk orders to pull into active management before they miss.

Most Active Tool in the Suite

Every order that's at risk. Every day. In one place your whole network can see.

The Daily Order Triage is the tool your plant managers open first. It surfaces every past-due and upcoming at-risk order across the portfolio, shows who owns it, and lets every site enter status notes visible to the entire organization, in real time, without email, without a meeting.

Capacity & Labor Efficiency

Know where you're overcommitted before the schedule is locked.

The Capacity Planner surfaces work center and resource group loading across every site. Overloaded work centers show in red before the production schedule is finalized, giving planners the visibility to adjust before promises are made to customers.

The LHV (Labor Hours Value) module benchmarks technician output against standard hours. Supervisors see who is performing, who needs coaching, and where efficiency gaps are creating cost overruns, with trend history to separate a bad week from a systemic problem.

Built on the Marquis IQ Platform

Operations IQ is an add-on module. It runs on top of your existing Marquis IQ subscription, sharing the same ERP connections, customer records, and order data already flowing through the platform.

Inventory IQ, connect fulfillment data to replenishment

On-time shipment performance and order triage data from Operations IQ feeds into Inventory IQ's demand signals. Sites consistently missing delivery dates trigger safety stock reviews automatically, so replenishment catches up before the next order is late.

Cash IQ, late orders before they become late AR

Past-due order data from Operations IQ integrates with Cash IQ's AR aging view. When an order is late, Cash IQ flags the associated receivable so your collectors know the shipment status before they pick up the phone.

Pricing IQ, delivery performance into margin analysis

Pricing IQ's margin bridge gains full context when Operations IQ data is in the picture. Expediting costs, overtime labor from capacity overruns, and shipment cost variance are visible alongside the price-volume-mix analysis, so margin decisions account for the full delivery picture.
