Doncasters Trucast: Business Intelligence enhances efficiency

About the client

Doncasters Trucast, a member of the Doncasters group, is a key player in engineering, producing turbine wheels for the automotive and power generation sectors. In 2013, they chose Singlepoint as their Quality Management System to streamline their processes and provide visibility into their operations

Support at every step

The challenge

Doncasters Trucast previously relied on Excel to manage performance data, a process that was not only cumbersome but also restricted to month-end reporting, hindering the ability to address issues in real-time and limiting the data’s availability to key staff members.

Our solution

Implementing Singlepoint’s user-friendly Business Intelligence tool, Doncasters Trucast equipped their shop-floor with large display dashboards. These dashboards visualise machine efficiencies and shift patterns, offering an interactive, real-time overview of production metrics.

The Results

The introduction of Singlepoint Business Intelligence has markedly enhanced visibility and immediacy in performance monitoring for Doncasters Trucast.

 IT Manager Robert Munns reports:

 “The workforce can now see how well they are performing in real-time… The managers can also walk around the shop-floor and see this information, or have it displayed on their own computers at their desks.” 

This transparency has empowered both the workforce and management to address production more proactively.

Horizons: From barely visible to ISO 9001 audit-ready

Horizons: From barely visible to ISO 9001 audit-ready

Horizons Incorporated had a document control system, but adoption never spread beyond the core quality team. At audit the answer was technically yes; in practice, most of the workforce did not know it existed. After evaluating six vendors, Horizons chose Singlepoint for its concurrent user licensing, visual navigation, and cross-module traceability. A back-end migration from Waypoint kept implementation to weeks, not months. The result: whole-workforce access without per-seat cost, a complete corrective action audit trail, and a first surveillance audit that impressed an examiner the team had never met. Adoption itself now serves as a live quality signal.

Mentholatum: audit-ready under FDA scrutiny

Mentholatum: audit-ready under FDA scrutiny

The Mentholatum Company, a US OTC and consumer health manufacturer regulated under cGMP and 21 CFR Part 11, was managing quality documentation on local servers and network drives, with no single system of record, no reliable audit trail, and real exposure to ransomware. After a recommendation from its UK affiliate, Mentholatum deployed Singlepoint for document control across its Orchard Park and Horsham sites. A 2026 cloud migration removed dedicated server hosting and saved over $18,000 a year, while delivering 24/7 access for a three-shift operation. Every operator can now pull up a current, controlled SOP the moment an auditor asks.
