Factory Manager turns QR labels into a working MES: stock, work orders, quality, traceability and costing. No server, no account, no IT project. The data lives on your devices and syncs between them over your own Wi-Fi.

Stock is counted on paper, typed in at night, and wrong by morning. Nobody trusts the number, so everybody walks to the shelf to check it anyway.
A customer complains about a lot. Finding which raw materials went into it means digging through folders — assuming the paperwork was filled in at all.
Traditional systems want a server, an IT person, a consultant and a licence for every operator. For a plant of thirty people the maths never works.
What it does
Not a checklist of 200 features — six areas that decide whether a small plant runs well.
Each box, bag and pallet carries a QR label that already knows item, lot and quantity. Moving stock is two scans — label, then location. Starting a job is one scan of the work order; clocking a step is one scan of the staff badge. Barcode guns work too: the app can tell a gun from someone typing.
Receipts, issues, transfers, returns, stocktakes and adjustments all land in one ledger. Every number on every report is rebuilt from that ledger, so two devices can never disagree about what you have.
Multi-level bills of materials, work orders with routing steps, material issue, output and scrap per step, rework, and a work-centre load report that shows exactly where the queue is.
Inspect incoming goods, work in progress and finished goods. Record defect types with photos. Trace any lot both ways — forward to the customers who received it, and back to every lot that went into it.
Moving-average cost per item, plus labour and machine time on every job, so you can see what an order really cost to make. Piece-rate and hourly payroll comes out of the same production logs.
Print QR labels on a thermal printer over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, or on any printer your device can see. Delivery notes, invoices, traceability sheets. Export any report to CSV for your spreadsheet.

Your data
Everything works offline. When devices meet on the same Wi-Fi they exchange what each one missed, and a pairing code shown on screen keeps strangers out. Back up to a file and restore it on a new device.
No ads, no analytics, no data leaves your devices. There is no account to create and no server for us to read. Employee PINs are stored as a SHA-256 hash, never as the PIN itself.
Your operators read the same screen in their own language.

Install it on one tablet, label one shelf, and see whether the number matches. That is the whole evaluation — and we will set it up with your own items and work orders.
