Hinkor helps manufacturers, distributors and logistics companies connect equipment, systems and partners across their operations.

We implement and optimize ERP, connect machines through secure IoT solutions and integrate suppliers and customers through APIs and EDI. Production, inventory and order data are combined for reporting and forecasting, and connected environments are secured and monitored.

The result is better visibility, faster planning and operations that respond quickly to change.

Where the work happens

The parts of the business we design for.

  • Discrete and process manufacturers
  • Industrial equipment and component makers
  • Distributors and wholesalers
  • Logistics and warehousing providers

Industry challenges

What tends to get in the way.

  • 01

    Limited production visibility

    Machine and production data is not collected, so performance and downtime are understood too late.

  • 02

    ERP that no longer fits

    Outdated or heavily customized ERP systems do not support current planning, costing and inventory needs.

  • 03

    Disconnected partners

    Orders, shipments and invoices are exchanged with suppliers and customers by email and spreadsheets.

  • 04

    Supply chain uncertainty

    Demand changes and supply delays are hard to anticipate without timely, combined data.

  • 05

    Operational technology risk

    Connecting factory equipment to networks introduces new security risks that IT controls do not cover.

FAQ

Questions about Manufacturing & Supply Chain

If your question is not here, ask it directly.

Ask a direct question
Do you have experience in manufacturing?

Our team brings experience across ERP, production and supply chain technology. We share relevant team experience and, where available, client references during scoping.

Which ERP platforms do you work with?

We work with leading ERP platforms, including SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Odoo. The right choice depends on your size, processes and existing systems.

Can you connect older machines that were not designed for networks?

Often, yes. Older equipment can usually be connected through gateways, sensors or controller interfaces. We assess each machine during a proof of concept.

How do you secure connected factory equipment?

We use device identity, encrypted communication, network segmentation and monitoring, aligned with industrial security practices such as IEC 62443.

Where should a manufacturer start?

Many start with an ERP fit assessment, a connected equipment proof of concept or a production data dashboard pilot.
