YOUR SHOP FLOOR, ORGANIZED FOREVER

Never run out again.

Kanban cards with QR codes that track real consumption on your shop floor. Your Purchasing Manager scans the Order Queue in seconds. Most teams are live in three days.

Your replenishment system is broken

Your replenishment system
fails too easily and too often.

Whiteboards, spreadsheets, ERPs built on forecasts nobody trusts. Each breaks in a different spot. The stockout is always the same.

📋
Whiteboards & spreadsheets

Someone forgets to check the bin. Stock runs out before anyone notices. The failure is built into the process.

System failure
📞
"Call me when you run out"

Every reorder needs a phone call. Your Purchasing Manager spends half the week chasing vendors.

Wasted time
📊
ERP: wrong data, bad forecasts

Your ERP builds forecasts from consumption data no one keeps accurate. Every output is wrong from the start.

Bad forecasts
🚨
Late reorders, mfg delays

You find out about the stockout after the line stops. Then you're paying expedite fees and apologizing to customers.

Unhappy customers
📦
Both waste AND stockouts

You over-order to cover the uncertainty. Cash sits in parts you won't need for 90 days. Other bins still run dry.

Lose-lose
😤
Ops messed up for everyone

Your distributor scrambles on emergency deliveries. You pay expedite fees. Everyone in the chain pays for the broken process.

Mfgs + Distributors
📇
Reality-based replenishment

Replenishment fires when a bin empties, based on actual consumption. Your Purchasing Manager isn't guessing.

Always accurate
🃏
Simple physical cards

Cards fit into how your floor already moves. Workers don't change their routine. No login, no training required.

Zero friction
📲
Software stays out of the way

Your Purchasing Manager scans the Order Queue from any phone. The reorder goes out. Get in, get out.

Seconds, not hours
🏭
Built for shop floor reality

Arda runs on shared devices through shift changes without reliable wifi. Built for how floors actually run, not how they're supposed to.

Actually adopted
👥
Delegate ordering for the first time

Your Purchasing Manager runs reorders without you. Uriel at Austere went from every order to zero.

🤝
Win-win for Mfgs & Distributors

Your distributor gets a steady stream of kanban reorders instead of emergency calls. Fewer expedites, better relationship.

Everyone wins

How it works

Three steps. Live in three days.

1

Set up your items and bins

Set up your items, bins, and reorder points. Print one card per bin, each with a unique QR code. Start with your three most critical parts.

2

The card is the signal

Place each card between the front bin and reserve stock. When your worker reaches it, they move it to the Order Queue. Replenishment starts.

3

Scan and send

Your Purchasing Manager scans the Order Queue with any phone. The reorder goes to your supplier in seconds. Get in, get out.

Less Inventory

“Before Arda, we kept inventory of critical components at 25. Now we keep inventories of 5 and make 5–6× as many vehicles. We doubled last year and plan to double again this year.”

Less Ordering

“Arda is a very easy way to get going with improving your processes and inventory. You can start incrementally and over time add more. It doesn’t create any big workflow changes.”

More Production
100%
Orders Delegated

“Arda made it dead simple to run a kanban system. I reduced my time spent ordering by 90% and then 100%, because for the first time ever, I was able to delegate ordering — as a small business owner, that was huge.”

Common questions

Things shop owners ask before signing up.

We already run an ERP. Does Arda replace it?

Arda doesn't replace your ERP. It gives your ERP accurate consumption data from the shop floor, which is the one thing ERPs consistently get wrong. Your Purchasing Manager scans the Order Queue from any phone. Data flows to QuickBooks, NetSuite, Shopify, or Xero.

How long does setup actually take?

The cards take 60 seconds in the generator and a few minutes to print and laminate. For the full platform with reorder automation, most customers are live in 3 days. No consultant. No six-month rollout.

My team won't adopt a new system.

It's a physical card, not an app. When a bin hits minimum, your worker sees it and moves it to the Order Queue. Any phone scans it. No training, no login, no new software for the floor to learn.

Is Arda only for large manufacturers?

Uriel built the first version in a 500 sq ft barn at Austere and 600x'd his production. Most customers are small to mid-size shops: fabricators, machinists, custom builders. If you're managing parts on a whiteboard, Arda fits.

Part of our floor has no wifi.

The card works anywhere. It doesn't need wifi. When your worker scans and the phone connects, the Order Queue updates. Arda was built for floors with shared devices and shift changes.

Your Shop Floor, Organized Forever

Never run out again.

Kanban cards that track actual consumption. Your Purchasing Manager scans the Order Queue in seconds. Most teams are live in three days. Teams running Arda have doubled revenue inside nine months.
