How it works
From whiteboard to self-running in 3 steps.
Tell us what you order
Type one item, upload a CSV, or paste supplier URLs. We capture the SKU, min and order quantities, location, and supplier.
You get print-ready cards
Color-coded cards with scannable QR codes are ready to print immediately. Print them on card stock, laminate, hole-punch, and hang them on bins.
Scan to trigger the reorder
When a bin hits min, your operator pulls the card and scans it with a phone. Arda drafts the PO, emails the supplier, and logs the order. Your team goes back to shipping.
What's on the card
The fields operators use, printed on every card.
Single card or bulk CSV
Type one part for a test. Upload a CSV for a hundred bins at once.
Supplier URL import
Paste product URLs. We pull part numbers, names, images, and suppliers for you.
Scannable QR codes
Every card has a unique QR. Scan with any phone camera to trigger the reorder workflow.
6 color codes
Visual triage by supplier, rack, priority, or department. Whatever your floor already uses.
Print-ready cards
Formatted for card stock and laminating, ready in the browser or emailed to your inbox.

Why it works
Stop babysitting inventory.
The first day you hang Kanban cards on your shop floor, three things change, and you can measure all of them.
Never lose a Monday to a stockout.
The card is a physical reorder signal. Your team sees it on the bin, so nobody has to remember to update a spreadsheet.

Before you print
The six questions shop owners ask before signing up.
Is there a catch?
No catch. The generator is free forever, and your first card doesn't ask for a credit card or a login. We make money when shops upgrade to the paid Arda platform.
Will this work with our ERP, QuickBooks, or accounting software?
Yes. Arda connects with Gmail, Google Sheets, QuickBooks, Shopify, NetSuite, Xero, Airtable, Odoo, Infor, Make, Zapier, and a REST API for custom systems.
How long does setup take?
The cards take 60 seconds in the generator and a few minutes to print and laminate. For the full Arda platform with reorder automation, our average customer is live in 3 days.
Is this just for big manufacturers?
The opposite. Uriel built the first version in a 500 sq ft barn at Austere. Most of our customers are small and mid-size shops: fabricators, machinists, custom builders, DTC makers.
What if my team won't adopt a new system?
That's why it's a physical card. Your team doesn't log into an app or remember a password. When a bin hits min, they see the card, and anyone on the floor can scan it with a phone.
What happens after I print the cards?
You tape them to bins, racks, or whatever holds the part. When stock runs low, your team pulls the card to a reorder spot and scans it.
