Software that survives the shop floor, not just the office

A factory doesn't run on clean office data. It runs on machine downtime, partial shipments, and shift handovers that never quite line up. We build production tracking, procurement, and maintenance systems designed for that reality, connected to the equipment and processes actually running your floor.

Sector Snapshot

Office software rarely survives contact with the shop floor

Most ERP systems are designed by people who've never stood next to a production line. They assume clean, sequential data entry, but a shop floor runs on shift changes, partial batches, and downtime that isn't anyone's fault. We design production and inventory systems starting from the floor, not the boardroom: rugged data entry for operators, real-time visibility for supervisors, and the procurement and maintenance data management actually needs, all from the same source of truth.

  • Production data needs to be captured in seconds by operators mid-shift, not typed into a form back at a desk
  • Raw material procurement, work-in-progress, and finished goods all need to reconcile against the same inventory
  • Equipment downtime and maintenance schedules directly affect output and need to be tracked, not guessed at

What We Build

From raw material to finished goods, tracked end to end

Procurement, production, and maintenance connected as one system, so a delay on the floor shows up in planning immediately, not at month-end reconciliation.

Production & Shop-Floor Tracking

Batch, shift, and output tracking captured at the source, not reconstructed later from paper logs.

Procurement & Supplier ERP

Purchase orders, supplier performance, and raw material inventory in one connected view.

Equipment Maintenance Management

Preventive and breakdown maintenance scheduling tied directly to actual equipment history.

Inventory & Warehouse Management

Raw material, work-in-progress, and finished goods reconciled against one accurate stock count.

Production & Downtime Analytics

Real dashboards on output, downtime causes, and yield, not a monthly report built from memory.

Dispatch & Logistics Tracking

Order fulfilment and dispatch tracking connected back to production and inventory data.

Case Study

A project we can talk about

Manufacturing · Production ERP 01

Shop-Floor Tracking & Downtime Reduction

A mid-size manufacturer was tracking production output and machine downtime on paper logs that were compiled into spreadsheets days after the fact, by which point patterns in equipment failure were invisible. We built a shop-floor tracking system with rugged tablet entry for operators and a real-time dashboard for supervisors, surfacing downtime patterns as they happened instead of weeks later.

Why DAB Inventive

What working with us actually looks like

We design from the floor up, not the boardroom down

Fast, rugged data entry for operators comes first. Reporting and analytics are built on top of accurate floor data, not instead of it.

We understand shift-based operations

Multi-shift handovers, partial batches, and real-time supervisor visibility are core requirements in our designs, not edge cases.

Downtime data actually gets used

Maintenance and downtime tracking is built to surface patterns early, not just log incidents nobody reviews.

One system, not five disconnected tools

Procurement, production, and maintenance share the same inventory and equipment data instead of needing manual reconciliation.

How We Work

Our approach for manufacturing & industrial projects

01

Walk the Floor First

We observe actual shift operations and data capture points before designing anything on paper.

02

Design for Shift Reality

Multi-shift handovers, rugged entry, and supervisor visibility shape the architecture from day one.

03

Build a Pilot Line First

One production line or process goes live first, proven in practice before floor-wide rollout.

04

Validate Against Real Output

Tracked data is checked against actual production and inventory counts before wider rollout.

05

Phased Floor-Wide Rollout

Line by line or shift by shift, paced so operators aren't relearning their workflow all at once.

06

Support Around Production Hours

Support scales around your shift schedule, not standard 9-to-5 office hours.

FAQ

Common questions about manufacturing & industrial projects

Can operators use this without extensive training?

Yes, data entry is designed to be fast and simple for shift operators, not built for someone who lives in the system daily.

Can you integrate with our existing machinery or sensors?

In many cases yes, we assess your existing equipment first and integrate where feasible rather than assuming a full hardware replacement.

How do you handle multiple shifts and handovers?

Shift-based views and handover logs are built into the core design, not added as an afterthought.

Can the system track equipment maintenance and downtime?

Yes, preventive and breakdown maintenance tracking tied to equipment history is part of the standard scope.

Do you support multi-location manufacturing operations?

Yes, shared or location-specific views are supported, configured to how your operation is actually structured.

How long does a typical rollout take?

We usually start with a pilot line over 8-10 weeks, then phase into a full-floor rollout scoped to your operation's size.
