Multisite Inventory Management System with Live Stock Alerts
One touch-first system that runs maintenance, inventory, purchasing, warehouse and plant communication across two sites, on tablets and wall screens instead of paper.
A manufacturing plant with two sites in two states needed one system its own people could run the plant from: what is in stock and where, what needs fixing and who has been told, what was produced today, what was inspected, and what still needs a signature. Off-the-shelf products each covered a slice. This covers all of it, under one sign-in, on the devices people already hold.
It is touch-first: the same application runs on iPads and rugged Android tablets on the floor, on office desktops, and on wall-mounted TVs and one-tap button stations at the machines. Every screen is built for big-glove taps and minimal typing, and the whole interface is available in English and Korean.
What it does
- Maintenance requests. A big-button station at each machine files a request, rings the right people's extensions, and can text or email them. A live request board on the shop TV ages open items from green to amber to red. Every ticket keeps its conversation, photos, work sessions and parts used.
- Equipment inspections. Daily checklists on the tablet, with readings, photos and signatures. They keep working when the Wi-Fi drops and upload when it returns. Supervisors approve completed checks with an identity-confirmed signature.
- Inventory and parts. One parts inventory with barcodes and photos, stock transfers between sites, low-stock alerts, physical counts, and parts used recorded against the work that used them.
- Purchasing. A complete purchase-order workflow: create, approve, request quotes, approve the estimate, order, receive. Professional PO PDFs go to vendors automatically, and the creator is reminded until the order is closed.
- Warehouse. Lay out the cooler or warehouse in feet and inches and the system generates the storage locations. Find any pallet with a floor plan, rack view or a first-person 3D walk-through; put away and pick by scanning a barcode.
- Plant map. The plant drawing with clickable machines that open the machine's parts and service history.
- Communication. See who is online, chat, or make a voice or video call between people and kiosks from inside the app, or hand off to a Microsoft Teams call.
- Meeting rooms and visitors. Room booking with invitations and reminders, and a self-service visitor check-in kiosk with badge printing. Visitor management is also available on its own.
- Reports. Operational reports across tickets, service, inventory and inspections, exportable to Excel, with scheduled delivery by email.
Why plants choose it
- Runs on your own network. No cloud dependency. The plant owns its data and the system keeps working through an internet outage.
- Grows without a developer. Managers add departments, machines, checklists, map hotspots, kiosk buttons and navigation tiles themselves.
- Multi-site by design. Each site has its own data, departments, org chart, kiosks and PO numbering, managed from one login.
- Built for compliance. Role-based access enforced on the server, a tamper-evident audit trail, encrypted sensitive data, and privacy tools for data requests. Sign in with Microsoft 365 or a local account; PIN quick-switch on shared tablets.
