From weeks of market research to same-day manufacturing prioritization

LP Aero

LP Aero manufactures aircraft transparencies—each requiring 2-3 days of shop time. Market research to prioritize the queue consumed weeks. AMSCO automated the data collection so their small team focuses on analysis and decisions.

80%reduction in data entry and collection time

Why this matters for manufacturing & distribution

Small manufacturers face the same capacity constraint: every shop day counts, so production prioritization depends on market intelligence you cannot afford to spend weeks collecting. AMSCO exists to turn scattered pricing, competitor, and supplier signals into structured datasets ready for decision-making, without hiring a research team.

LP Aero Plastics is a family-owned manufacturer of aircraft transparencies. With each part requiring roughly 2-3 days of shop time to manufacture, prioritizing the production queue is critical. Market research to inform those decisions—competitor pricing, supplier catalogs, industry reports—used to consume weeks of manual collection and structuring. AMSCO automated the data pipeline so their small team now focuses on analysis and growth, not spreadsheet entry.

Before AMSCO

Market research consumed weeks—competitor pricing, supplier catalogs, industry trends extracted manually
With 2-3 days of shop time per transparency, poor prioritization meant lost capacity and margin
A small team could not justify a dedicated research role, so data work leaked into production planning time

With AMSCO

Market data collection automated—scattered pricing, competitor, and supplier intelligence structured in minutes instead of weeks
Production queue prioritization now informed by comprehensive, current market visibility
Team shifted focus from data entry to analysis, expansion planning, and customer satisfaction

“Structify's ability to collect and structure market research allows our small team to focus on data analysis and business growth, as opposed to research and data entry.”

How LP Aero Plastics Transformed Market Research with Automated Data Intelligence

For most family-owned manufacturing businesses, market research means hours of manual data entry—scouring competitor pricing, analyzing market trends, and structuring information from countless sources. It's essential work for staying competitive, but it’s a heavy burden on a small staff of people wearing multiple hats.

That's where Structify comes in.

LP Aero Plastics automated their market research and pricing analysis workflow—turning weeks of manual work into days of strategic analysis—without changing how their team approaches data quality. In doing so, mountains of market intelligence are now structured, searchable, and actionable for business decisions and manufacturing prioritization.

Results at a glance:

80% reduction in data entry time – Market research processing time cut from weeks to days, freeing their team for quality analysis

Comprehensive market visibility – Access to structured data from many disparate sources, enabling informed expansion discussions

Optimized manufacturing queue – Data-driven prioritization for their week-long R&D cycles, maximizing profitability per production slot

Before Structify: Expert time wasted on data entry

The LP Aero Plastics team was drowning in spreadsheets. Market analysis often requires a manual extraction of pricing data from competitor websites, industry reports, and supplier catalogs. With each aircraft transparency requiring roughly 2-3 days of shop time to manufacture, proper prioritization was critical—but the time previously required to gather the data necessary for quality analysis was a deal breaker.

"We are a small team, and finding the time to collect this information is hard," explains Alex Frey, Solutions Engineer. "We knew the insights were out there, but accessing them is incredibly labor-intensive."

With Structify: Intelligence extraction at scale

Structify let the LP Aero Plastics team focus on what matters most—data quality and strategic analysis—while automating the tedious extraction work. By processing market data in minutes rather than days, Structify transforms scattered intelligence into structured datasets ready for analysis.

Unlike rigid scraping tools, Structify understands business context and can handle diverse data formats, so teams get consistent, analysis-ready output without excessive manual cleanup.

Business impact for LP Aero Plastics: From data bottleneck to competitive advantage

What began as an efficiency tool quickly became a growth enabler. LP Aero Plastics now has access to comprehensive market intelligence that informs everything from manufacturing prioritization to expansion planning. With each production cycle representing significant time and resource investment, data-driven decision making has become essential.

The structured market data has helped them gain market visibility, giving them confidence in expansion discussions, backed by real intelligence rather than intuition.

Looking ahead, LP Aero Plastics is exploring how Structify can transform their internal data operations, bringing the same automation and structure to future market research efforts to fuel growth and customer satisfaction.

What was once a research bottleneck is now a strategic advantage.

“Structify was able to streamline data collection efforts that would take a small team weeks, to a task one data scientist could perform the same day.”
