Digital Shop-Floor Software — Tablet & Mobile App for Operators
Custom Shop-Floor management software built around your factory — tablet booking stations, digital checklists, andon & issue alerts.
What is Shop-Floor Management software?
Shop-floor management software digitises daily factory-floor activities — production booking, checklists, issues, 5S, meetings and visual boards — so supervisors manage by data instead of rounds.
Ready-made packages make you change your process to fit their screens. We build Shop-Floor management software around the way your factory already runs — your forms, your approvals, your reports — as a secure web app for the office with tablet and mobile screens for the shop floor.

Shop-Floor Management software — FAQs
Will operators with limited computer skills be able to use it?
Yes. Shop-floor screens use big buttons, pictures, barcode scans and local-language labels, and we train operators on the floor during rollout.
How much does custom Shop-Floor management software cost?
It depends on the features, users, apps and integrations you need. After a free consultation and a look at your current process we give you a fixed, itemised quote — and you own the software, with no per-user licence fees for what we build.
How long does it take to implement?
A focused first version is usually live in weeks, not months. We release in phases — the most valuable features first — with a demo every two weeks so your team shapes the software as it's built.
Can it connect with our ERP, accounting or other software?
Where your existing system offers an API, import facility or data export, yes. We check feasibility during scoping and confirm it before you commit.
Can we start with just this module?
Yes. Most factories start with one module and add others later on the same database — for example Manufacturing Execution System (MES), Worker / Operator Management.
Integrations depend on the third-party provider offering an API, SDK or data export, and are confirmed during scoping. Any third-party licences, API or usage fees, subscriptions (e.g. WhatsApp Business API, SMS, maps, cloud hosting) and hardware are billed by the provider and borne by the client.
