How many spreadsheets are in circulation?

Pick a number — we'll tell you how deep the chaos runs.

The switch moment

One system.
One truth.

No more reconciling three lists on Monday morning — one glance and everyone talks about the same number. What was hours of spreadsheet upkeep yesterday now runs along by itself.

A manufacturing company in Styria runs its entire production on this stack.

Not a prototype, not slides — lived practice. How getting started works →

Who it's for

Built for manufacturers.

The industry is secondary. If you run machines, process orders and drown in spreadsheets — it fits. A few typical cases:

Machining & metalworking

CNC milling, turning, many variants, tight tolerances.

Plant & machine building

One-off and special machines, project builds, long BOMs.

Series & variant production

Recurring orders, batches, seamless traceability.

Process technology

Mixing, reaction and batch processes with lots of readings.

Sheet, welding & metal fab

Cutting, forming, assemblies, final inspection.

Plastics & injection moulding

Tools, cycles, quality per shot.

Electronics & assembly

Placement, testing, serial numbers.

Contract & job-shop

Many customers, many parts, tight dates.

Food & beverage

Batches, traceability, hygiene and quality records.

Wood & paper

Cutting, series, material flow — continuous data instead of paper.

Automotive suppliers

Series, tight tolerances, seamless traceability (IATF).

More for the works

What else lives in the system.

Beyond the building blocks — the topics that make the difference day to day.

Compliance & security ISMS, ISO 27001 & 9001, NIS-2, full audit trail. Maintenance Assets, intervals, maintenance plans — QM-compliant. Costing & controlling Lot-level cost under IFRS and HGB. KPIs 27 management KPIs from real data. Shop-floor app Clocking, manufacturing, NFC — offline-first. Getting started & funding A funded start in three lean steps.
§02 · Solution

Ready. Trained. Adaptable.

01 —

Trained ex-works

Comes with real workflows already running in factories — shifts, batch tracing, maintenance. Not an empty shell.

02 —

Adapted to you

Refined to your needs, grows with you. You don't bend to the software — it bends to you.

03 —

Your stack, your data

Runs on your premises, open foundation, no licence hostage. Sovereign, not rented.

§03 · AI solution finder

Describe your need — the AI finds the block.

Type your need or pick an example — the matching blocks appear here, ranked by relevance.

Migration

Your legacy data comes along.

Spreadsheets, island apps, grown folders — machine-assisted migrated and cleanly linked. No starting from zero.

Interfaces

Talks to everything that matters.

Sovereignty

Your data. Your rules. Your edge.

Digital sovereignty is the key to competitiveness. For a works that means six concrete things:

01

Sovereignty as an edge

Act independently instead of depending on someone else's platform.

02

In-house hosting

Everything on your infrastructure. Encrypted backup in an EU data centre.

03

One data source

Machine, operations and quality data in one fabric instead of scattered.

04

Privacy by design

GDPR met, less exposure to foreign access like the US CLOUD Act.

05

Security & audit

Traceable infrastructure, fast recovery — NIS2-aligned.

06

Independence

Open source, your property. Redundant microservices instead of vendor lock-in.

§04 · From practice

From spreadsheet chaos to a running system.

01 —

Starting point

Knowledge scattered across dozens of spreadsheets and island apps. Every number elsewhere.

02 —

What we built

All legacy data machine-assisted migrated — from machine to analysis, on open building blocks.

03 —

Result

One source instead of dozens of spreadsheets. Reports that update themselves.

§07 · The comparison

Two dead ends. One third way.

Dead end A

Spreadsheet sprawl

Cheap and familiar … but none reconcile, nothing connects, it doesn't grow.

The third way

Indystry

Ready and trained, adapted to you — your stack, start at 80%.

Dead end B

Enterprise heavyweight

Powerful … but too big, too costly, too rigid — you bend to it.

§08 · People

A system the people build with.

Software isn't imposed from above. Those who work with it shape it — and get help right where they work.

A

Software without admin

Everyone self-serves what they need — no ticket, no waiting.

B

Guides that stay current

The handbook grows with the system instead of going stale.

C

Have a say at the push of a button

Surveys and feedback right in the system — those who wear the shoe say where it pinches.

D

Help where it happens

An in-tool assistant answers questions in context — instead of a hotline.

§09 · Who's behind it
PORTRAIT — DAVID FUCHS

Head of the Crowd.

DAVID FUCHS

Entrepreneur, technical generalist, systems thinker — 25 years at the seam between infrastructure, automation and business processes. Behind him a tight-knit team and a whole crowd. For you: one contact who sees the whole — no departmental ping-pong.

A tight-knit team

People who've built a lot together — short paths, reliable.

AI as a co-worker

Routine, research and code run hand in hand with assistants.

Open-source crowd

Behind each block stand thousands of developers worldwide — bundled for you.

Attitude

We like working — but not with everyone.

The chemistry has to fit. We take on a lot, but not everything just for money. If you want it the hard way, you're better off with someone else.
