The problem

Why it leaks here

A breakdown you keep fixing yourself often costs more than calling in a specialist. And parts you keep buying in a rush should have been on the shelf. With a counter running per breakdown, you see when it is time to escalate, and what rush buying costs you per year.

What it costs

10 grams too much on a million packs, at €15 per kilo, is €150,000 a year.

Overfill per pack, yield below the norm, fixed staffing at lower volume, a breakdown that takes too long.

What we check

4 checks, on every line

  • Breakdown over four hours with only in-house mechanics, with the cost so far
  • More breakdown work than planned maintenance
  • Machine with breakdowns but no maintenance plan
  • Parts bought in a rush more than once

Example alert · made-up company

What you start with

Work orders or breakdowns as an export from your maintenance system, or a short form by email. Supplier invoices from the purchasing check.

Compared with what exists

Maintenance software plans work orders. We count what a breakdown costs and say when external help is cheaper.

How it connects

No partner contract and no integration project. Email and exports first, the API with your own key later. Exact Online, AFAS, Business Central, Odoo, SAP Business One, Ridder iQ, Isah and King.

From the rulebook

The rules. With the calculation attached

Every rule has a threshold, a calculation and an action. So you see exactly when something becomes an alert, and what it is worth.

Wanneer schakel je bij een storing externe hulp in?

TD-01

What we check

Een storing duurt langer dan vier uur (instelbaar) met alleen eigen monteurs. De teller loopt mee: stilstand plus monteursuren.

Calculation

uren stilstand × gemiste marge per uur + monteursuren × uurkosten, afgezet tegen een externe oplossing

Example

Zes uur stilstand à €400, plus drie monteurs zes uur lang à €50: €3.300. Een externe specialist na twee uur had rond de €1.000 gekost.

What is preparedEen escalatievoorstel met het bedrag, naar het hoofd technische dienst.

Wanneer zet je een spoedartikel op voorraad?

IN-07

What we check

Hetzelfde artikel is minstens twee keer per jaar met spoed gekocht, of tegen meer dan drie keer de normale prijs.

Calculation

vermeden spoedtoeslag per jaar − kosten van de voorraad

Example

Een onderdeel van €4 wordt met spoed besteld voor €55, vier keer per jaar. Dat is €204 aan toeslag, voor iets wat met tien stuks op de plank €40 had gekost.

What is preparedEen voorstel voor een minimumvoorraad, met aantal.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

About the Leak Check, your invoices, your ERP and what it costs.

Does this replace our maintenance system?

No. Your maintenance system plans and registers. We count the costs and say when to escalate.

Do we need to connect anything to our ERP?

No. An export from your accounting or the PDFs from the purchasing mailbox is enough, from Exact Online, AFAS, Business Central, Odoo, SAP Business One, Ridder iQ, Isah, King or any other package. For the ongoing check you forward invoices, or create an API key yourself.

Is this AI? Who decides?

AI only reads what needs reading, such as a PDF invoice. Plain code does the comparing and the maths, following our public rulebook, so every amount is right to the cent. Anything uncertain goes to a person, and nothing goes to a supplier without approval from someone on your team.

More questions?
