Technology that powers modern manufacturing

Manufacturers face constant pressure to improve productivity, reduce costs, strengthen supply chains, manage resources effectively, and respond to changing customer demands. At the same time, organisations often need to manage large volumes of operational data across disconnected systems while maintaining quality, compliance, and security standards. Valto helps manufacturers modernise the systems and processes that support production, operations, and business performance. Whether you're looking to improve visibility across operations, automate repetitive processes, strengthen collaboration between teams, unlock value from data, or prepare for AI adoption, we help create practical solutions that deliver measurable outcomes. By combining Microsoft's technology ecosystem with deep digital transformation expertise, we help manufacturers improve decision-making, optimise processes, and build the foundations for sustainable growth.

Why manufacturing organisations work with Valto

Improve operational visibility

Manufacturing organisations generate vast amounts of operational data, but gaining a complete view of performance can be challenging. We help create connected reporting, analytics, and data platforms that support informed decision-making across the business.

Increase efficiency through automation

Manual processes reduce productivity and introduce unnecessary risk. We help automate workflows, approvals, reporting, and operational processes to improve efficiency and free employees to focus on higher-value activities.

Build smarter, more connected operations

Technology works best when systems, data, and people are connected. We help manufacturers create integrated digital environments that improve collaboration, productivity, and business performance.

Our approach

How we help

Manufacturing businesses need technology that delivers real operational value, not simply new systems. That's why our approach starts with understanding your business objectives, production processes, operational challenges, and growth ambitions. Valto works with manufacturers to modernise technology platforms, improve collaboration, unlock insights from operational data, automate processes, strengthen security, and enable innovation through AI and cloud technologies. Using Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Fabric, Power BI, Azure, Copilot, and Microsoft's security solutions, we help organisations create connected digital ecosystems that support continuous improvement. Whether your focus is operational efficiency, reporting, workforce productivity, process automation, or business growth, we help ensure technology becomes a strategic enabler for long-term success.

Valto’s dedication and expertise has been instrumental for the improvement of Herts Mind’s IT infrastructure. We’re grateful for our partnership with the Valto support team, and we look forward to continuing this positive and productive relationship.

Hils Lythgoe, Director of Resources at Mind

Valto replaced our aging intranet with a bright new fresh online version, making it far easier for staff to find what they need, use automated forms and policies, and provide a platform for our digital transformation journey.

David Owen, IT Director at Chester Zoo

We are pleased with the exchange and tenant migration project handled by Valto on behalf of Energy One. The project was undertaken successfully and within the agreed timescales, helping to ensure business continuity.

Matt Spence, Head of Service Delivery at Energy One

We’re really pleased with the solution which Valto have delivered for us. We chose a Microsoft tools based solution as this option enabled us to keep costs to a reasonable level and safeguard the system for the future. We pushed the functionality of the tools to the limit in order to achieve the complexities of the brief and Valto always found a way to equip the tools to work for us. So often data captured is thrown into a black hole of data storage, this solution enables us to monitor activity in real time and to present this in a useful format to those at all levels within the charity who can use it to inform decision making.

Chris Priddy, COO at Sportily

Working with Valto has been straight forward from the outset, starting from advice regarding how to approach the project, through detailed expert consultancy, excellent communication throughout coordinated by the Valto Project Management team and comprehensive post-project support, all of which has seen this project delivered smoothly with minimal impact on our ongoing operation.

Robert De’Ath –  Group Head of IT at Watkins Jones

We are extremely pleased with the solution Valto has provided. They replaced our outdated SharePoint system and have made it easier for our employees to find what they need, and keep all documents up to date and organised. Highly recommended.

Robert Smith, IT Officer at Bromsgrove District Housing Trust, IT Officer at BDHT
