The operational system
for SMB manufacturers.

One connected platform for production, quality, and maintenance.

Same operational history, every workflow — no integration project, no overnight ETL, no spreadsheet glue. Built for SMB manufacturers (20–500 employees).

The operational loop

Seven stages. One system.

Engineering designs the build. The floor runs it. Quality + maintenance catch the exceptions. The data feeds the next design cycle.

  1. EngineeringCanvas + visual WI editor
  2. BOMParts + assemblies + time studies
  3. Work cellPlant → line → workstation
  4. OperatorTablet kiosk + step-by-step build
  5. QualityNCs + CAPAs + audit trail
  6. Production dataThroughput + downtime + MTBF
  7. Continuous improvementDefect Pareto + cycle-time trends

One platform. One asset tree. One operator login. Every stage shares the same data.

Cut paper travelers.

Operators badge in, walk the sequence on a tablet, and the build record commits as they finish. Zero re-entry, zero clipboard, full upstream lineage on every serial.

Pass your next ISO audit.

CAPA, internal audits, complaints, risk register, calibration, training matrix, ECN, supplier SCAR, management review, and a live readiness wizard tracking every clause of ISO 9001:2015.

Know what's running, right now.

Live floor with green/amber/red status. MTBF / MTTR rolled up automatically. Downtime captured at the source — and the work order is already in the maintenance queue when you open it.

Why one platform

Replace the stack, not just the spreadsheet.

The modern operational stack for a serious shop is three separate vendors, three contracts, three logins, and an integration project that never quite finishes. Ignite Lean is what you'd get if those three were built as one product from day one. Same operational history, same tablet, same bill.

What you'd otherwise buy
  • Tulip · for execution + frontline ops
  • MaintainX or Limble · for maintenance
  • MasterControl or Greenlight Guru · for quality
  • Three procurement cycles, three onboardings, three support queues
  • Plus the integration work to make them communicate

A day in the operational system

Tuesday, 2:15pm. The spindle stalls on Station 4.

One operator. One event. Five systems update. Nobody enters anything twice.

2:15:03
Production · Kiosk
Maria taps Start downtime on the Station 4 tablet. Picks "Spindle stalled" from the cause list. Three taps.
2:15:04
Maintenance · Queue
Draft work order is already in Jim's queue. Asset, cause, production order, Maria's shift — all prefilled.
Standalone CMMS = same event, 90 seconds of manual entry.
2:15:32
Maintenance · Mobile
Jim accepts the WO from his phone walking to the floor. ETA 45 min. Maria's station goes amber on the supervisor floor.
3:02:18
Insights · KPIs
Jim closes the WO, codes the cause as bearing wear. Asset MTBF re-rolls. Production order ETA shifts. Downtime pareto updates.
Tonight
Quality · Management review
The event is already categorized in next quarter's management review pack under §9.1.3 monitoring + measurement.

Three modules. One operational history. The integration Tulip, MaintainX, and MasterControl each promise to build never has to — because the kiosk, the work order, and the management review are reading the same rows.

Built for

SMB manufacturers, 20–500 employees.

Aerospace machine shops chasing AS9100. Medical-device contract manufacturers needing ISO 13485 §7.5. Tier-2 / tier-3 automotive suppliers fighting an IATF 16949 surveillance. General manufacturing finally going for ISO 9001 because a customer asked. If your shop is past spreadsheets but won't survive a $250K MES implementation, we built this for you.
