Bulk
Discrete manufacturing/Material testing/Aerospace & defence

The operating system
for precision‑built work.

From the first chip of stock to the final torque spec — Bulk gives engineering, quality, and production one live record of every part, every test, every signature.

One platform.
Built for any operation.

See how connected apps remove silos, error-proof workflows, and surface the live status of every machine, batch, and order on the floor.

Remove silos. Streamline workflows. Gain insights.

  • Error-proof operator workflows with configurable routings, pre-use checks, and skills-based gating
  • See the live status of every job, work order, and asset on the floor
  • Capture output, downtime, and defects at the workstation — every action an immutable transaction
  • Work from one shared data thread, so a fact entered once is the fact everyone downstream sees

IATF 16949. Without the spreadsheets.

  • Replace paper travelers with electronic routed steps, signed off at the point of work
  • Trace every part by batch, lot, and serial back to its job, operator, and inspection result
  • Close 8Ds faster with linked NCRs, root-cause analysis, and CAPA verification

Mission-grade traceability. Built in.

  • Tie every routed step to its traveler, recorded values, and the operator who signed it
  • Build document packs — travelers, job sheets, labels, and barcodes — from live production records
  • Track first-pass yield, defects, and holds with deterministic, drill-down KPIs
  • Control access with 250+ permission levers, two-factor sign-in, a full audit trail, and regional data residency

One platform.
Composable for every floor.

One job, one record — from first scan to final signature. Never re-keyed, shaped to your floor, live on every screen, running clean through every station you compose.

Riso print of a digital-twin shop floor: an isometric model slab with machine blocks and zone outlines, one machine hovering over its slot beside the orange-marked record chip
Riso print frieze of four screens — a floating phone, a tablet, a floor terminal and a wall board — all showing the identical orange record mark at the same moment
Riso print of a single employee ID badge hanging flat on a lanyard, carrying the orange Bulk mark and a small teal smart-card chip
Riso print of the orange Bulk mark at the center of a ring of integration logos — SAP, Microsoft, Teams, Slack, Power BI and Excel — each wired to the hub
It starts as one record.

A job enters once — a scan at intake, a line on an order — and that’s the last time anyone keys it. Every station after this references the same row instead of copying it, so the order that ships is provably the order that arrived. No relay race, no fourth re-key, no “which number is right.”

One data thread
It takes the shape of your floor.

Before the job runs, the station around it is yours — the form fields you actually check, the routing your line actually follows, the workstation your operator actually stands at. Configured, not coded; shaped to how the floor already works instead of forcing the floor to fit the software. The same record, wearing your process.

Shaped, not forced
It shows up live on every screen.

The operator counts a part at the machine, and the same second the supervisor’s phone, the bench tablet, the line terminal and the wall TV all move. One truth, many surfaces — no nightly batch, no dashboard two days behind, no board that’s stale by 8am. The record isn’t a report you pull later; it’s the plant watching itself in real time.

One truth, every surface
It answers to whoever’s allowed to touch it.

Everyone gets a login; not everyone gets the keys. Access reaches down to the single action — 250+ levers on who can change a cure temp, sign off a batch, void a count — and every touch is on the record by default. So eight months later, when the auditor asks who changed what, the answer was written the day the work was done, not reconstructed after.

Access control Audit trail
It reaches past the four walls.

The job doesn’t end at the plant fence. The record pushes clean into the ERP, out through a typed REST API and webhooks, and — when you want it — answers questions from your own AI, running in your region on your data, scoped and audited like any other user. The floor, as an endpoint. Compose it into the business you already run instead of bolting a silo beside it.

Operators-first.
Not finance-first.

Most platforms are reporting tools in operator clothes. Bulk is built for the floor every minute — finance gets the cleanest data they've seen.

Operator station

The screen your operators actually use.

Every job lands on the operator's screen at their station — the right steps, the right forms, the right specs, in the right order. They tap through, scan, sign, and move on. No spreadsheets. No "let me ask Dave."

  • Step-by-step work instructions with photos and specs inline
  • Scan, sign, and capture results without leaving the job
  • Built for gloves, glare, and a shared station tablet

Routing & workflows

Workflows your engineers can ship before lunch.

Bulk's visual workflow builder turns whiteboard processes into running software. Drag a stage, attach a form, wire in a scan step, publish. The operator picks it up at their station, no app store.

  • Visual builder with versioning and audit trail
  • Inline forms, signatures, photos, scans, and conditionals
  • Connectors for SAP, NetSuite, Oracle, and most MES

Teamboard & shift handoff

The shift, on the wall.

The floor wall isn't decoration — it's where shifts get briefed, where production is run, and where problems are surfaced before they cost you a customer. Bulk's Teamboard is built for that wall.

  • SQDCP signals, live, with drill-through to root cause
  • Shift handoff notes versioned by shift, not by file
  • Kiosk mode designed to be read at 4 metres

what teams say

Run by the floor.
Loved by the floor.

We don't have a customer success team — we have a deployment team that lives in the building until the floor runs better than the day before kickoff. Then we leave.

We replaced four spreadsheets, two whiteboards, and one homegrown WMS with Bulk in three weeks. The shift leads stopped asking IT for reports — they just open Bulk.
