The Elmet Group: 10 apps on a legacy ERP in two months

The Elmet Group (precision manufacturing) reported this on 10 Sep 2026 in company self-report (source). It belongs to the data and ontology layer.

What they built

Integrated data and ten operational apps on top of a legacy ERP with Palantir: BOM-to-cost explosion, order profitability, machine sequencing for work orders, purchasing-to-delivery links.

The result

CRM data integration that normally takes months was completed by Palantir's team in about two days (the executive thought perhaps two hours), the company says; ten operational apps delivered in two months.

The number covers implementation speed; business outcome is not reported.

The layer: data and ontology

Shared definitions of your metrics and records, used by both staff and agents.

  • One definition for every metric that matters
  • Linked objects across ERPs, CRM and documents
  • A log of human decisions and their reasons
