Mid-size manufacturers run MES, ERP, PLM, and shop-floor integrations under NIS2 (essential entities), the Machinery Directive, and ISO 9001. Every IT change can stop a line. Every line stop costs you tomorrow's shift.
An MES change runs one process. An ERP change runs another. Shop-floor PLC firmware sits in a third. ISO 9001 auditors ask one question that spans all three — and nobody has a unified answer.
The plant gives you maintenance windows measured in hours. The internal review cycle for a meaningful change takes weeks. The gap fills with workarounds that quietly become permanent.
Your team is excellent at keeping the plant running. NIS2 expects them to also produce structured asset registers, incident timelines, and management-level governance evidence. Without help, one of those slips.
External integrators build modules. Your central process specs were last updated two years ago. By the time you notice they no longer match, the gap has been costing money for months.
A process platform that gives manufacturing IT teams a single way to design, decide, change, and prove — across all the systems your plant depends on.
Every change — billing release, MES module, PLC firmware update — runs through the same build-decision and release-decision structure, with risk classification and dependencies attached. Quality auditors get one consistent answer.
Asset registers, supplier dependencies, change rationale, incident timelines, management governance — already structured, already exportable. Audits stop being separate projects.
No migration off the systems your plant relies on. Expedait pulls context from where it lives, gives leadership a portfolio view, and gives every change one shape your auditor recognises.
If you're carrying NIS2 obligations on top of plant-critical software, running hybrid teams with external integrators, and trying to align your IT lifecycle with your quality system — we should talk.
