Manufacturing

Manufacturers lose money when machines stop, materials are missing, or paperwork trails production by a week. We automate the work orders, vendor onboarding, inspection logs, and ERP data entry that keeps the floor — and the back office — in sync.

Where manufacturing admin trails production

The paperwork that keeps the floor and the office out of sync.

  • Work orders created in the office, printed, and re-entered at the cell
  • Preventive maintenance slips because schedules live on a whiteboard
  • Quality inspection logs captured on paper and filed in a binder
  • Non-conformance reports routed by whoever happens to be nearby
  • Vendor invoices arrive without a PO and stall AP
  • Production data visible on the floor but not to planning

Key Features & Benefits

Comprehensive automation solutions designed specifically for your industry

🛠️

Work Order Automation

Work orders created, routed, and closed across office and shop floor — with mobile capture for production hours, materials consumed, and quality notes.

  • Office to shop floor, no re-entry
  • Mobile capture at the cell
  • Material and labour tracking
  • Close-out push back to ERP
🔧

Preventive Maintenance Workflows

PM schedules tied to hour meters, cycle counts, and calendar triggers — with automatic ticket creation, parts availability checks, and technician routing.

  • Usage-based PM triggers
  • Parts availability check before scheduling
  • Technician routing
  • Downtime tracking by asset

Quality Inspection Logs

In-process and final inspections captured on tablet with photos, measurements, and pass/fail logic — flowing directly to quality records and non-conformance routing.

  • Tablet-based inspection forms
  • Photo and measurement capture
  • Auto-route non-conformances
  • Full traceability per lot
⚠️

Non-Conformance Report Routing

NCRs routed to the right department based on product, stage, and severity — with action tracking and closure audit trails for ISO compliance.

  • Severity-based routing
  • CAPA workflow with deadlines
  • Photo and sample attachment
  • Closure audit for ISO 9001
🤝

Vendor Onboarding & Invoice Matching

New vendor intake, compliance document collection, and PO-to-invoice matching — with a clean exception queue for AP instead of a full inbox.

  • Vendor intake with document collection
  • PO-to-invoice 2- or 3-way match
  • Approval routing by amount
  • Direct post to ERP

Production Dashboarding

OEE, throughput, downtime, and scrap rolled up from shop-floor data so planning and leadership see the same numbers the supervisor does — in real time.

  • Shop-floor data aggregation
  • OEE, throughput, scrap, downtime
  • Shift and cell comparisons
  • Alerts on trend breaks

The Transformation

See the difference automation makes

Before Automation

  • Work orders printed and re-entered at the cell
  • PM handled when something breaks
  • Quality captured on paper
  • NCRs routed by whoever's nearby
  • Vendor invoices stalled without POs
  • Production data lags by a day

After Automation

  • Work orders closed on tablet, posted to ERP
  • PM triggered by usage, parts pre-checked
  • Quality logs filed live with photos
  • NCRs routed by severity with CAPA tracking
  • PO-to-invoice matching clears AP
  • Production dashboards live from the floor

AI with guardrails

We use AI for messy information. We use deterministic automation for actual business execution. Every workflow is controlled, logged, and reviewable.

🧑‍🔧

Human Approval

Quality records, NCR dispositions, and PO releases have approval checkpoints before they execute.

🧾

Traceability

Every work order, inspection, and NCR is logged with lot, operator, and timestamp for ISO review.

🇨🇦

Canadian Hosting

Canadian-hosted deployments available for sensitive contracts and IP-protected work.

Deterministic Execution

AI reads drawings, invoices, and emails. Rules post to ERP and update shop-floor systems.

Why Choose Us

Built on expertise, trust, and proven results

🏭

Back-Office + Shop Floor

We automate both — the ERP and the handheld. The point of automation is closing the gap between them.

Works On Your ERP

SAP, NetSuite, Epicor, Dynamics, Sage, Odoo, QuickBooks — we integrate rather than force a migration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we have to replace our ERP?

No. We integrate with SAP, NetSuite, Epicor, Dynamics, Sage, Odoo, QuickBooks Enterprise, and custom ERPs. The ERP stays your system of record. We connect the shop floor, AP, and quality workflows to it.

Our shop floor is not tech-savvy. Will this work?

Yes. Shop-floor tools are tablet-based, big-button, and designed for gloved hands and variable lighting. Most cells are up and running within a shift. We design for the work environment, not the office desk.

Can this handle ISO 9001 / 13485 audit requirements?

Yes. Quality records, inspection logs, NCR routing, CAPA tracking, and document control all produce audit trails that meet ISO 9001 and 13485 expectations. Customer audits pull directly from structured records instead of paper binders.

How do you handle intellectual property and contract sensitivity?

For manufacturers with sensitive contracts (defense, aerospace, controlled products), we deploy on Canadian-hosted infrastructure with private model endpoints. Drawings and technical data stay in controlled environments and never flow to public AI APIs.

What's a realistic first project?

Most manufacturers start with either work order close-out, vendor invoice matching, or quality inspection capture — usually whichever one is costing the most time right now. A single workflow is typically live in 3 to 8 weeks.
