MicroMesh.

Nottinghamshire-based Micro-Mesh has been a leading UK filter manufacturer since 1968. Launched to serve the mining industry, the company diversified into other sectors as mining shrunk. Today it produces hydraulic filters, gas turbines and air pollution control solutions that are used in numerous sectors such as military, off-highway applications and rail – which makes up around half of the business.

Customers including Network Rail, Balfour Beaty, McLaren Cars and Volvo Construction Equipment trust Micro-Mesh to deliver their high-quality filtration devices.

The company also operates globally and has had a large presence in India since 2014. Micro-Mesh purchased EuroFilter Air Filters in 2016, which added to their gas turbine offering.

Most products are specially designed, re-engineered and manufactured for each customer or application. As a result, the company continually invests in the latest technology and innovations, from high-end materials, machinery and tools.

 

Challenge:

  • Needed a data‑driven way to identify the most profitable customers
  • Lacked visibility into order value, cost and profitability
  • Reduced staffing during Covid increased the need for fast, informed decision‑making

Approach:

  • Implemented FactoryMaster MRP to gain clearer production and cost insights
  • Used system data to analyse customer behaviour and order patterns
  • Focused on identifying key profit drivers using internal reporting tools

 

Result: 

  • Gained a clear view of which customers and jobs are most profitable
  • Improved decision‑making based on accurate cost and performance data
  • Strengthened ability to prioritise high‑value customers

FactoryMaster MRP In Action

Following a comprehensive assessment of the organisation’s operational data, YDK LL LIMITED helped the client’s leadership team gain deeper visibility into customer performance, profitability, and business trends. Through advanced reporting and data analytics, we identified that a relatively small percentage of customers generated the majority of overall revenue, providing valuable insights into where the business could maximise growth and operational efficiency.

Working closely with stakeholders, we developed interactive dashboards and reporting tools that enabled the team to analyse customer segments, purchasing patterns, operational costs, and supplier performance in greater detail. These insights supported informed strategic decisions around customer management, pricing models, resource allocation, and supplier relationships—areas that had previously relied heavily on manual analysis and assumptions.

To improve operational efficiency, we recommended and implemented digital solutions that automated routine processes and streamlined customer interactions. By introducing self-service capabilities and optimising internal workflows, the organisation was able to reduce administrative overhead, improve service delivery, and allow employees to focus on high-value customer relationships and strategic business initiatives.

Our business intelligence solutions also enhanced financial planning by providing accurate forecasting, real-time reporting, and improved visibility into revenue, cash flow, and operational performance. With access to reliable, data-driven insights, the leadership team gained the confidence to make faster, more informed decisions that strengthened business resilience, improved profitability, and supported sustainable long-term growth.

RESULT

By partnering with YDK LL LIMITED, the client successfully transformed its operations through a combination of strategic technology consulting, intelligent automation, and data-driven decision-making. Streamlined workflows, improved visibility, and optimised business processes enabled teams to work more efficiently while maintaining the flexibility to respond quickly to changing business demands.

With access to real-time operational insights, leadership was able to make confident decisions around resource allocation, customer management, and future investments. Routine tasks were automated, internal processes became more efficient, and employees were empowered to focus on higher-value activities that contributed directly to business growth and customer satisfaction.

Within months of implementation, the organisation had established a clearer understanding of its most valuable customers, improved operational efficiency, and strengthened its overall business performance. By leveraging accurate reporting and intelligent business insights, the company identified new opportunities for growth, optimised service delivery, and built a stronger foundation for long-term success.

The transformation extended beyond technology. It enabled the business to become more agile, more resilient, and better equipped to adapt to changing market conditions. With a scalable digital infrastructure and actionable business intelligence in place, the organisation is now positioned to innovate confidently, improve profitability, and support sustainable growth for years to come.

As a trusted technology partner, YDK LL LIMITED continues to help organisations unlock the full value of their data, modernise operations, and embrace digital transformation through innovative, future-ready IT solutions.
