We're based in Franklin, Wisconsin, and we build quality and warehouse systems for the kind of shops that make up most of this state's manufacturing base — small, busy, and running on more paper than they'd like.
Most of the shops we work with have between ten and a hundred people, a quality manager wearing three other hats, and a process that works — right up until someone asks for a record from eight months ago.
JOB SHOPSNonconformances, first articles, gauge calibration, and scrap cost for shops running to print for larger customers.
SUPPLIERSTraceability and corrective action records solid enough to survive a customer audit and a flow-down requirement.
REGULATEDMedical device, aerospace, and food producers who carry the documentation burden of a much larger company.
WAREHOUSEInventory, receiving, pick-pack, and cycle counts built alongside quality rather than in a separate system.
GROWINGThe workbook worked at five people. At thirty it's a liability, and everyone knows it.
CERTIFYINGGetting the record-keeping in order before the audit, rather than building it under deadline pressure.
Building a system around a shop's real process means understanding the process, and that is much harder to do over a screen share than standing on the floor watching a job move through it. Being in southeastern Wisconsin means discovery can happen in person.
It also means the person who builds your system has fifteen years in quality manufacturing behind the decisions — not a developer translating a requirements document written by someone else.
We work with shops elsewhere too. But if you're in the Milwaukee area, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha, or anywhere in the corridor, the discovery phase is simply better when we can come to you.
Sentinel Group Product LLC is based in Franklin, Wisconsin. Sentinel-built systems are record-keeping and tracking tools; using one does not by itself guarantee certification or regulatory approval of any kind.
