An integrated planning platform, a review-to-action system and the safety reporting system.

Three platforms we built and run, shaped by the same work we do with manufacturers every day. We advise on operations and we build the software that runs them.

01 · Planning & control

Integrated Planning Platform

For manufacturers and distributors

An integrated planning and control platform for manufacturers and distributors. It connects demand, supply, inventory, orders, capacity and financial outcomes in one place, so risks surface early and the next action is clear.

  • Demand, supply and inventory in a single connected view
  • Orders and capacity mapped against real available load
  • Financial outcomes tied back to operational decisions
  • Highlights risks and recommends actions

What Earlee Products says.

Two views of the planning platform, from the people who run it. Read the Earlee case study →

We make food using both local and imported ingredients, all with very different lead times, so getting the purchasing right means looking well ahead. What I like about the platform is that we can now see what’s coming before it becomes a problem. If a raw material isn’t going to arrive in time for a production run, we know early enough to do something about it rather than finding out on the day. It also gives me a much clearer view across the business. I can see what we need to buy, whether the plant can handle what’s coming, and what that means for our inventory and working capital. Most importantly, it gives me confidence that we’re going to be able to meet our customer requirements. If something doesn’t look right, it’s flagged early and I can go straight to the detail behind it. For me, it’s about having that visibility and being able to make better decisions earlier, rather than reacting when something has already become a problem. It’s a great app for our business.
BBBendon BatemanChief Executive Officer, Earlee Products
One of the most useful shifts we’ve made at Earlee Products has been moving from reporting on what’s already happened to getting a clear view of what’s coming. The Integrated Planning Platform from Centre Of Business has made a real difference here. From a finance perspective, inventory and purchasing decisions flow straight through to cash. Being able to see what we’re likely to need, where stock is building and where the risks are means we can act before small issues turn into bigger ones. It’s also cut our reliance on separate spreadsheets and made planning much more connected across the business. Sales, operations and finance are now working from the same picture. For me, the biggest benefit is simple: better information, earlier. That gives us more confidence in the decisions we make around inventory, working capital and the overall performance of the business. Thanks to the Centre Of Business team for their support along the way.

Why we built it

The problem it was built for.

Five things we see in nearly every operation we walk into.

ERP ≠ planning system

An ERP is excellent at recording what happened. That doesn't make it a decision-support system.

Rear-view mirror vs windscreen

Most reporting looks backwards. You can't drive the business looking only behind you.

Planning latency

Forecast accuracy matters less than how fast the organisation recognises change and responds to it. A week of latency is common.

Manual planning hides a dependency

A spreadsheet looks inexpensive. Its true cost is maintenance, errors, training and key-person dependency.

Inventory is an outcome

Inventory is the outcome of demand uncertainty, planning rules, lead times and execution discipline, not a lever on its own.

Target customer

Strong candidates

If several of these sound like your operation, the platform is built for the problem you have.

Planning signals

  • An ERP records transactions but doesn't provide planning intelligence
  • Forecasts, orders, inventory and purchasing info held in several places
  • Planners exporting ERP data into Excel
  • Manual date manipulation
  • Difficulty identifying which orders need to move in or out
  • Limited forward inventory visibility

Outcome signals

  • Stockouts despite holding significant inventory
  • Excess inventory
  • Poor understanding of future revenue or margin
  • Difficulty comparing planning scenarios
  • Reactive purchasing or production
  • Multiple people independently maintaining planning spreadsheets

Prices are plus GST. $4,500 is one site and one ERP connection. Implementation is the ERP connection, configuration and training, quoted after a scoping call. It is not in the monthly fee.

02 · Improvement

CheckSetGo

Check, set, go

The operating system for improvement. CHECK: understand reality. SET: decide what matters. GO: execute visibly. It is not an audit document and not a task list. Consultants run a private network of organisations. A company that only wants to review itself sits on our network and buys credits.

  • Structured reviews, scoring and the gaps that actually matter
  • Insights turned into owned actions, not every finding
  • Tasks, evidence and progress so the work does not fade
  • Private networks: unlimited organisations, templates stay yours

Common questions

Questions about the platforms.

What operations leaders ask before booking a demo.

Is the planning platform a replacement for our ERP?

No. It sits on top of your ERP, not instead of it. An ERP is excellent at recording what happened, which is a different job from helping you decide what to do next. The platform connects demand, supply, inventory, orders, capacity and financial outcomes so risks surface early and actions are recommended, using the transactional data your ERP already holds.

How do we know if the planning platform is right for our operation?

It fits businesses that plan across demand, supply, inventory and capacity and currently do that work in spreadsheets or across disconnected systems. If your planners rebuild the plan outside the ERP, if nobody can agree which report is correct, or if you carry stockouts and excess stock at the same time, those are the conditions it was built for. If you are unsure, an operational review will tell you before you commit to software.

What does CheckSetGo do?

CheckSetGo is the operating system for improvement: CHECK (understand reality), SET (decide what matters), GO (execute visibly). It is not an audit document and not a task list. Consultants and large groups buy a network licence to run many organisations. A company that only wants to review itself buys review credits and sits on Centre of Business's network.

Who is the Safety Reporting System for?

Manufacturing and industrial operations that need incident, near miss, hazard and safety walk reporting captured properly and consistently. It is built for reporting from the floor, where the events actually happen, rather than for retrospective data entry by an administrator.

Do we have to buy the software to work with you?

No, and the reverse is also true. The consulting and the platforms are separate. Many engagements involve no software from us at all, and we will not recommend a platform where a process change or a simpler automation solves the problem. Where a platform does fit, the advantage is that we built it, so we can adapt it to your operation rather than asking your operation to adapt to it.

What does implementation involve?

For the planning platform it is the ERP connection, configuration and training so your team can run it, quoted after a scoping call. For the Safety Reporting System it is organisation setup: forms, users, departments, hours worked and training. Neither implementation is in the monthly licence. The goal is always that your people run it after we leave.

How is pricing structured?

The Integrated Planning Platform Core licence is $4,500 a month plus GST on a 24-month licence: one site and one ERP connection. A deep bill of materials, material constraints, or export to the ERP is Advanced, which is quoted. Enterprise is Advanced across more than one plant, entity or planning team, and is quoted. Implementation is the ERP connection, configuration and training, quoted after a scoping call. Forecast only is from $1,000 a month plus GST on a 12-month licence: demand and inventory, no MRP and no production board. The Safety Reporting System is $350 a month plus GST on a 12-month contract, one organisation, unlimited floor reporters. Implementation is scoped separately. Extra sites or legal entities are quoted. CheckSetGo is a network licence at $49 a month plus GST, unlimited organisations and users, plus review credits: 3 for $249, 10 for $699, 30 for $1,499, plus GST. Credits last two years. A company reviewing itself sits on Centre of Business's network and buys credits only.
