Industries

Built on a manufacturing floor.
At home on any floor like it.

A factory, a warehouse, a food line, a building site, a treatment works. Different products, but the same operational reality: shift-based work, paper everywhere, sign-offs that have to hold up, and connectivity you cannot rely on. The systems I built and proved in manufacturing transfer straight across.

The common ground

Four industries, one operating reality.

Shift-based work

Night, day and back shifts, with handovers that have to carry context across, not lose it on a clipboard.

Paper everywhere

Clipboards, binders and spreadsheets that get lost, soaked, or never leave the trailer or the cabinet.

Sign-offs that must hold up

Approvals, audits and traces that have to be signed, current and findable the moment someone asks.

No reliable signal

Dead zones, basements and remote sites. The software cannot assume Wi-Fi, so mine never does.

Where it fits

The same systems, on a different floor.

Each one starts from a system already running in production, reshaped around how your operation actually works.

01

Warehousing & logistics

Stock accuracy, inbound and outbound tracking, shift handovers. Almost the same pain as a manufacturing floor, one step down the supply chain.
Closest proven system: Stock Accuracy

On the floor today

  • Inventory accuracy is the whole game. Receive the wrong quantity inbound and you cannot fulfil the orders that depend on it.
  • Inbound and outbound collide at the dock. Trucks arrive unannounced, coordinators scramble for doors, carriers sit racking up detention.
  • Shift handovers between receiving and shipping lose context the moment a clipboard changes hands.

What I would build

  • Daily variance monitoring that snapshots every SKU, flags drift by percentage and £ impact, and surfaces the counts that actually matter first.
  • Tablet capture for receipts and picks, validated against the order so wrong quantities are caught at the dock, not at month end.
  • A live door board and signed handover that carries the open issues straight across to the next crew.

Food & beverage production

Temperature logs, batch records, compliance sign-offs. Heavily paper-based and heavily regulated, which is exactly where digital traceability pays for itself.
Closest proven system: Lost Hours

On the floor today

  • Temperature logs, batch records and sign-offs live in paper binders. Slow to fill, easy to get wrong, and hard to defend when an auditor or a recall lands.
  • FSMA 204, HACCP, BRCGS and SQF all expect a full trace pulled within hours, not days.
  • Records get written up after the shift, from memory, instead of as the work happens.

What I would build

  • Electronic batch and CCP logging captured at the line, where an out-of-range temperature prompts the corrective action there and then.
  • Signed, traceable approvals, the same digital sign-off workflow I built to retire paper clipboards in manufacturing.
  • One search to trace a lot end to end for a mock recall, audit-ready with timestamps and operator names attached.

Construction sites

Daily plant logs, materials tracking, safety sign-offs. No reliable internet on site, and everything still on clipboards.
Closest proven system: Offline Resilience

On the floor today

  • No reliable internet on site. Plant logs, materials, deliveries and safety sign-offs live on clipboards that get lost, soaked or left in the trailer.
  • If an entry takes more than a couple of minutes, a crew working against the clock simply will not do it.
  • A single undocumented incident or missing daily log can cost more in a dispute than the whole software budget.

What I would build

  • Offline-first by default, the same Service Worker and IndexedDB architecture I run in manufacturing keeps logging straight through a dead zone and syncs the moment signal returns.
  • A daily site log fast enough to actually get filled in: plant hours, materials in, deliveries and weather, with photos and timestamps attached.
  • Safety sign-offs and near-miss reports captured on the spot, time-stamped and traceable for compliance.

Utilities & water treatment

Shift logs, equipment checks, incident reporting. Offline resilience is not a nice-to-have here, it is the whole requirement.
Closest proven system: Shift Report

On the floor today

  • Remote sites, below-ground assets and dead zones mean offline capture is the baseline requirement, not an extra.
  • Shift logs, equipment checks and incident reports roll across night, day and back shifts, exactly the rhythm I already build for.
  • Permits to work and confined-space checks have to be signed, current and findable on demand.

What I would build

  • Shift-log rollups in the mould of my downtime tracker: live readings and checks rolled up by shift, with a clean handover report at every changeover.
  • Offline-first equipment checks and incident capture that survive a site with no signal and reconcile centrally when they reconnect.
  • Signed permits and confined-space entries with a full, timestamped trail behind every one.

Not another SaaS subscription

Shaped around your forms, not a template.

Off-the-shelf platforms make you bend your process to fit their screens. I do the opposite: I learn your actual workflow, keep the field names and steps your team already knows, and deploy it on your hardware, yours to keep.

Offline first

built to keep working through a blackout and sync on reconnect, on every one of these floors.

On premise

deployed on your own servers, with your data staying inside your walls. No lock in.

Direct

designed and written by one engineer. No account managers, no agency overhead in between.
