NorthernOps Industrial software platform

Platform Architecture

Five modules.
One data thread.

What sets NorthernOps apart from point solutions: All modules share a common data model. No record is entered twice. No handoff point is lost.

5 Integrated modules
1 Shared data model
REST API-first architecture
DSGVO Compliant from day 1

Core principle

The data thread —
one record, five modules.

A lead in Aurora becomes a specification project in Prism, a configured quote in Forge, a production order in Polaris, and a service contract in Meridian. One single record — continuously enriched, never duplicated.

Aurora CRM & Sales
Prism Spec Intelligence
Forge CPQ & Quoting
Polaris Production & Quality
Meridian Field Service

Before / After

What changes with the data thread

Lead handoff to quoting
Before Email with PDF attachment, 2 days waiting
After One click: lead data flows with specification directly into Forge
Order confirmation → Production
Before Manual BOM creation in ERP, 4h effort
After Forge quote converts to production order with BOM in one click
Machine accepted → Service
Before Excel export of machine data, re-creation in ticket system
After Meridian inherits machine profile automatically incl. maintenance plan
Service feedback → Sales
Before Information is typically lost
After Recurring service issues flow back into Aurora as upsell signals
