We didn't write a deck about this. We built it.
Everything below was built for a Gulf Coast industrial manufacturer, the same kind of business Rethink is built for.
No enterprise budget, no big-firm engagement, no eighteen-month roadmap. One person who understood the problem, sat with the people doing the work, and shipped the tool that fixed it. This is the work the large firms decided you were too small to be worth. We disagree.
Drawing review that took all day now takes minutes.
The problem. Every client order came with CAD drawings that had to be checked, by hand, one at a time, against the approved drawings. A person sat there comparing them line by line. Slow, easy to miss something, and it didn't scale. When orders picked up, the review became the bottleneck.
What we built. A tool that takes in both the client's drawings and the approved set and compares them automatically, flagging where they don't match, so a person only looks at what actually needs a second set of eyes. The judgment stays human. The grinding, line-by-line part doesn't.
Roughly 80% less time spent on drawing review. Same accuracy, a fraction of the hours, and the team freed up for work that actually needs them.
They thought 68% of orders shipped on time. The real number was 90%.
The problem. Leadership was looking at a number that said 68% of orders shipped on time. They were sure it was wrong, but the data lived in a half-dozen corners of the system and nobody could pull it together to prove it. You can't fix, or defend, a number you can't see.
What we built. We dug the delivery data out of every place it was hiding, cleaned it up, and reorganized it inside their existing system so it finally measured the right thing, then built workflows so the number stays honest going forward.
The true on-time rate was about 90%, not 68%. Same company, same orders, they'd just been flying blind. Now they see clearly, and they can keep seeing.
And a few more we've built for the same kind of business
Product configurators
Customers and staff build a valid product on screen and the right part number generates itself, wired to purchasing and materials. What used to take a spreadsheet and a phone call now takes a few clicks.
A product-fit assistant
Staff type in what a client needs, a cable tray that has to hit a certain load, span, and environment, and the tool points them to the right product instead of digging through files.
A project-intelligence layer
Pulls the scattered information that matters into the systems the team already uses, so nobody's hunting for it.
Custom automation assistants
Software helpers built to take over the repetitive, time-eating work: connecting safely to your own systems, checking and moving data, running routine jobs on a schedule, even building small tools on their own. The work still gets done, your people just stop doing it by hand.
None of this required a giant firm. It required someone who'd take the time to understand the business, then actually build the fix.
