Tru-Trac Rollers × Pharos
How a world-leading conveyor component manufacturer put AI to work on their ERP data.
The Problem
A modern factory running on fragmented data and manual processes.
Manual ERP queries
Managers relied on IT to pull reports or wrote raw SQL against production databases. Simple questions took hours to answer.
Disconnected data
MRP data in Tempo, transactions in SYSPRO, warehouse in a separate system, reporting in Excel. No single source of truth.
Slow decision-making
By the time a report was ready, the data was stale. Operations decisions lagged behind the factory floor.
The Solution
Pharos connects AI agents directly to Tru-Trac's live ERP data via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). No data migration, no middleware, no changes to their existing SYSPRO installation.
Deployed in [TBD] weeks. Operations staff now query their data through natural language and get answers grounded in live production numbers.
- Natural-language queries against live ERP data via any MCP-compatible AI client
- Schema discovery: AI navigates the data model without hand-holding
- KPI dashboards, MRP analysis, and customer risk assessments on demand
- Write operations (labour posting, inventory adjustments) with confirmation gates
