What Polymr automated.

Live inventory movement, purchase prices, and shop-floor production progress combined into a continuously-refreshed per-SKU margin view and per-work-centre bottleneck signal.

Live margin. Live bottleneck. No Monday meeting required.

Per-SKU margin used to be a quarterly finance exercise. Bottleneck signal used to be a Monday morning meeting. Polymr lifts both into the same live picture, refreshed every time inventory moves or a scanner clicks.

CNC-3 is the binding bottleneck this week. G212 margin collapsed because rework against CNC-3 doubled cycle time. Surfaced at minute 12.
