Software that works
for your business.
Owned by you. Forever.
Desktop tools built on Six Sigma methodology. One purchase, every machine in your company, full source code delivered. No subscriptions. No seat limits. No nonsense.
"In Q we trust.
Everyone else — bring data."
Named after the person who
showed us what rigour looks like.
MGD Brian is named after our Master Black Belt — the person who led us through the process of becoming genuinely good at what we do. He taught us that Six Sigma isn't a framework you follow, it's a way of thinking you never switch off.
He also drinks Miller Genuine Draft. We named the app after him because every time someone runs a DMAIC project through it, they're using the methodology he spent years teaching us to respect.
If this software saves you three months of consultant fees and gets your process right first time — that's Brian's influence, bottled in software.
Three tools.
One methodology.
Yours permanently.
Each tool is a desktop application — fast, offline-capable, and installed on every machine in your business under a single licence. Full source code delivered at purchase. No cloud dependency. No subscription.
A guided Six Sigma project wizard that walks you through a complete DMAIC engagement from first principles. Map your spreadsheet data to process parameters, follow structured inputs through each phase, and arrive at a documented, evidence-based improvement plan.
Built for the analyst who knows the methodology but needs the scaffolding — and for the team that wants to run a proper improvement project without flying in a consultant.
- Full DMAIC workflow — Define through Control
- Spreadsheet data mapping to process parameters
- Statistical analysis built into each phase
- Auto-generates project documentation
- Control plan output with SPC chart setup
- One licence — your whole organisation
Raw data is rarely clean. DataForge takes your data dumps — from any source, in any format — and structures them into something your analysis tools can actually work with. Consistent, repeatable, documented.
The step most people do manually in Excel at 9pm. Automated, auditable, and ready to feed directly into MGD Brian or your existing reporting stack.
- Import from CSV, Excel, database exports
- Column mapping and parameter labelling
- Data cleaning and outlier flagging
- Audit trail for every transformation
- Direct export to MGD Brian format
- One licence — your whole organisation
Bill of materials, purchase orders, and contract management in one offline-first desktop application. Built for businesses that need a proper system without a proper enterprise budget — or the recurring invoice that comes with one.
Runs locally, syncs when you need it to, and doesn't phone home. System tray daemon keeps it available without getting in the way.
- Full BOM management with version control
- Purchase order creation and tracking
- Contract storage and deadline alerts
- Offline-first with browser UI
- System tray daemon for background operation
- One licence — your whole organisation
You buy it once.
It's yours. No asterisks.
Every tool on this page is delivered with full source code, installs on your infrastructure, and covers your entire company under a single licence. No per-seat fees. No subscription that reprices when you grow. No leverage.
Talk to us before you buy. We'd rather answer your questions than process your refund.
