Operational Data Systems · Wichita, KS
Your operations are generating data.
Almost none of it is driving decisions.
I help mid-size operations companies — manufacturing, distribution, aerospace supply chain — turn fragmented reporting and manual processes into scalable decision systems. Built the way an enterprise architect would build it. Scoped to your size.
What's included
01
Discovery Call
A 45-minute conversation about how your operations actually run — your data sources, your reporting gaps, your manual workarounds, and where decisions are getting made without good information.
02
Written Roadmap
A plain-English report with 3–5 specific opportunities to connect your data to your decisions — tool recommendations with pricing, estimated time savings, complexity scoring, risk notes on governance and integration, and a 30-day prioritized action plan.
03
Debrief Call
A 30-minute walkthrough so you leave knowing exactly what to build first — and why. No homework, no confusion, no vendor pitch.
Who this is for
Your data exists everywhere.
But it lives in separate systems, nobody trusts the numbers, and there's no clear source of truth. Reporting means someone building a spreadsheet every week.
Your reporting is manual and fragmented.
Too many one-off reports. No consistent logic. Decisions wait on data that should already be visible. You know something is wrong before anyone can show you the number.
You need to scale, not just survive.
But you can't think clearly about the future when basic operational visibility requires a week of manual work. You don't need a data team. You need a system.

About me
William Lorenz
Business Architect · Operational Data & Decision Systems
I'm a Business Architect who designs data-driven decision systems for large-scale industrial operations. My background spans procurement, supply chain, and enterprise analytics at companies including Koch Industries, Spirit AeroSystems, and Hess. I don't build dashboards — I build the systems that connect fragmented operational data to the decisions that actually run a business. Most consultants in this space are marketers or generalist developers. I look at your operation the way a Fortune 100 enterprise architect would — then scope it to your size, your budget, and your actual constraints.
