The $50k Nesting Software Is Lying to Your ERP

/ 01 — The Gap

5–10% of your material cost vanishes between the CAD file and the factory floor. We built a research briefing showing exactly where — and how to recover it.

/01 Yield Illusion

Your nesting software reports 90% utilization. Your accounting reports full margins. Neither sees the shop floor.

IMPACT: 5–10%
of material cost
/02 Remnant Paradox

Offcuts go on a rack. Nobody scans them. The ERP says they exist; nobody can find them. New sheet gets ordered.

IMPACT: Phantom
inventory + re-buy
/03 Sorting Nightmare

A tight nest combining 10 orders cuts beautifully. The labor to separate and route those parts downstream costs more than the material saved.

IMPACT: 1–3%
labor erosion
DIAGNOSTIC

Yield Gap Autopsy

We map the delta between nesting yield and manufacturing yield using our 4-point extraction algorithm. You get the real number your ERP hides.

Remnant Traceability Map

We process your real scrap yard photos to quantify the purchasing decisions made on phantom inventory. Pure dollar value, zero estimates.

About Olorin

Olorin exposes the financial blindspots in industrial fabrication. We bridge the structural gap between theoretical nesting yield and actual shop-floor profitability. Our diagnostic algorithms process physical factory realities—like thermal distortion and remnant labor friction—to deliver the precise baseline numbers your ERP can't see.
