What Industrial Insight does

Industrial Insight is a privately-held professional services firm founded in December 2016 by Jim Gavigan and headquartered in Saint Augustine, Florida, with a remote US-distributed workforce of under 10 employees. The firm provides data-driven process optimization consulting to industrial manufacturing plants, with a stated focus on chemical, cement, paper, and metals operators. Its core technology stack is built around the OSIsoft PI System (now part of AVEVA) as the data historian foundation, supplemented by Microsoft Power BI and Tableau for business intelligence visualization, and by SIMCA from Umetrics and CompressionInsight from Pattern Discovery for advanced analytics and data quality work.

The company's service portfolio is organized into five lines: Data Analysis (data quality and fidelity studies, data contextualization, long-term data analysis), Solution Implementation (dashboard design, multi-variate analysis and machine learning, edge data collection, BI integration, event detection), Business Intelligence Services, System Administration (patching, upgrades, monitoring, security audits), and Tailored Training programs covering the PI System, Power BI, and 1-on-1 coaching. Engagement is delivered on a quote-based, custom professional services model with multi-year contracts; the firm has experimented with a 10% online-booking discount alongside its enterprise-led 'Schedule a Free Consultation' and 'Get a Quote' CTAs.

The go-to-market is sales-led, enterprise-focused, and direct, targeting plant engineers and operations managers through technical content marketing (blog, YouTube, PI World conference presentations), direct outreach, and consultation. Named enterprise customers include Albemarle, Methanex, Big Rivers, Clearwater Paper, and International Paper, and the firm claims $8M+ in cumulative customer savings across the United States. Industrial Insight is founder-owned, appears to be bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and is legally organized as Industrial Insight, Inc. in Florida, with footer copyright held by a related entity, Group Five West, Inc.

Direct peers

• TrendMiner (Software AG): TrendMiner offers self-service industrial analytics for time-series data with strong PI System integration. It addresses similar use cases (root cause, pattern discovery, predictive insights) that Industrial Insight consults on for process manufacturers.
• Seeq Corporation: Seeq provides advanced analytics software built natively on top of the OSIsoft PI System for industrial time-series data, including process manufacturing customers. It competes with Industrial Insight's multi-variate analysis and ML-based analytics offerings while leveraging the same PI ecosystem.
• AVEVA (formerly OSIsoft) Professional Services: The platform owner for the PI System now offers its own professional services for implementation, training, and consulting. As Industrial Insight's deepest area of expertise is the PI ecosystem, AVEVA's services arm is the most direct competitive threat and reference point.

Broad incumbents

• Aspen Technology (AspenTech): AspenTech delivers industrial process optimization software and services for chemical, petrochemical, and other process industries. It competes at the higher end of advanced process analytics and optimization, an adjacent but overlapping space with Industrial Insight's consulting work.
• Maverick Technologies (a Rockwell Automation company): Maverick is a large systems integrator serving process manufacturers across DCS, MES, and analytics—including PI System implementations. It overlaps with Industrial Insight on industrial data and BI consulting but operates at a much larger scale across many automation platforms.
• Rockwell Automation Services: Rockwell Automation offers industrial automation software and consulting including PlantPAx and FactoryTalk analytics. It serves similar manufacturing customers and overlaps with Industrial Insight's industrial BI and analytics implementations.
• Siemens Industrial Services: Siemens offers industrial automation, process analytics, and consulting services including MindSphere-based industrial IoT. It serves the same plant engineers and operations managers as Industrial Insight with broader portfolio offerings.
• Hexagon PPM / HxGN SDx: Hexagon's PPM division provides industrial software and asset performance analytics for process manufacturers, overlapping with Industrial Insight's industrial intelligence and BI/dashboard offerings at a broader portfolio scale.
• Honeywell Connected Plant: Honeywell provides process automation, industrial analytics, and digital transformation services to process manufacturers—directly overlapping with Industrial Insight's data historian, BI, and process optimization work but at enterprise scale across many platforms.

Emerging players

• DataSpring (Aspen Technology / OSIsoft partners): Smaller independent PI System consulting and integration firms that compete directly with Industrial Insight in delivering data historian implementation, BI dashboards, and analytics services to process manufacturers across the US.
