The HBS Approach
Business information should move cleanly from the plant to management.
When plant, scale-house, ERP, CRM, reporting, and other business applications evolve separately, teams fill the gaps with exports, spreadsheets, duplicate entry, and manual reconciliation.
HBS brings business systems strategy, intelligence, reporting, integration, and automation under one practical roadmap. We help you evaluate, improve, connect, govern, and lead major changes across the systems your business depends on.

What We Do
Three connected capabilities. One accountable business systems partner.
HBS helps aggregates and bulk materials producers improve how information moves from plant and scale-house applications through ERP, other business systems, reporting, and management decision-making.
Business Systems Strategy & Leadership
Lead the strategy, architecture, requirements, roadmap, and governance for the business systems environment, from software selection through major implementations and ongoing vendor oversight.
- Roadmaps, architecture & investment governance
- ERP, CRM & application evaluation and requirements
- Implementation leadership & specialist partner oversight
- Fractional CIO, identity, security & continuity strategy
Business Intelligence & Reporting
Turn data from across the organization into trusted management information for executive, operational, financial, production, sales, and marketing decisions.
- Power BI & enterprise dashboards
- Operational, financial, sales & management reporting
- KPI development & cross-system data models
- Replacing manual spreadsheet reporting
Systems Integration & Automation
Connect scale, ticketing, dispatch, CRM, ERP, and other applications so information moves automatically and teams spend less time on duplicate entry and manual handoffs.
- Scale, ticketing, dispatch & plant-system integrations
- ERP, CRM & line-of-business APIs
- Data synchronization, imports & reconciliation
- Power Platform, approvals & document workflows
How We Deliver
HBS leads strategy, requirements, architecture, scope, governance, and the overall client relationship across all three capabilities. We perform work directly and, when deep platform or security expertise is appropriate, coordinate specialized implementation, MSP, or MSSP partners. HBS remains accountable for the roadmap, how the pieces fit together, and the information the business needs—without tying the solution to one software platform.
Who We Serve
For materials producers that need the systems behind operations, sales, and financials to stay connected.
HBS works across the business systems behind aggregates and bulk-materials operations, where scale, ticketing, dispatch, production applications, ERP, CRM, accounting, and reporting all have to work together. We are a strong fit for multi-plant and multi-company businesses dealing with disconnected systems, fragile integrations, manual handoffs, unreliable reporting, major software changes, or no clear owner for the business systems roadmap.
