Factory operations, in one system

System for production control, quality and workforce planning — run from one place.

Built inside real automotive production and quality work, for the companies who run their plant on Excel and paper because everything else is priced for someone bigger.

The problem

The real competition isn't Siemens. It's a spreadsheet.

Enterprise quality suites are built and priced for OEMs. Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers — the companies that actually run the automotive supply chain — are left with what a spreadsheet can hold.

Control plans printed and taped to the machine.

The skills matrix lives with one person — who is on holiday.

Enterprise suites, priced and staffed for OEMs — not a 60-person plant.

3,000+ automotive suppliers across the EU (CLEPA) — most still run quality on Excel and paper. Several well-funded companies have tried to serve this segment and drifted upmarket, where the money is.
The product

Nineteen modules. Four jobs.

Everything a plant needs to run its daily quality routine, the IATF core tools, and the people who do the work — in one schema, not a folder of spreadsheets.

Control Plan

Product → operation → characteristic hierarchy, tolerances flow live into the shop floor.

PFMEA

AIAG-VDA aligned, hung off real control-plan operations rather than duplicated.

SPC & Capability

I-MR charts, Cp/Cpk, Pp/Ppk, histogram. Solid basics — deeper study in plan.

Gauge Calibration

Gauge register, due-date tracking, a QR code that resolves to the record.

Stand-Up Boards

The daily quality & safety huddle, digitised — one click into a PDCA case.

PDCA / 8D

Kanban across Plan/Do/Check/Act, 5-Why, Ishikawa with weighted team voting.

Measurement Lab

Request → queue → measuring → done, timed, with deviation capture.

Layered Process Audit

Operator, supervisor and manager tiers off one shared question bank.

Production & KPI Dashboard

Per-line production, scrap Pareto, downtime, plan vs. actual, YTD.

Qualification / Skills Matrix

Who is allowed to run what, and what they need before they can.

Vacation & Shift Planning

Not automotive-specific. Rosters, coverage, drag-and-drop reassignment.

Bonus / Performance Pay

Also not automotive-specific. Pay tied to where someone actually stood.

Certifications & Training

Who is trained, on what, and what is about to expire.

Reporting

Seven PDF generators and one consolidated master report.

Line Commissioning

New-line launch: stations, takt study, readiness gate, approval.

Multi-Plant Rollup

One corporate view across plants, without merging their data.

Chemical Safety Cards

A safety data sheet becomes a one-page card, reviewed before publish.

Auth & Roles

Four competence-based roles, row-level security in the database itself.

Localisation

Czech, English and German, throughout — every screen, not a landing page.

Why it holds together

Everything is linked, by construction.

Suites achieve this through integration projects between vendors, sold separately. Here, it's one schema — a tolerance, an incident, or a finding only ever needs to be entered once.

Tolerances defined in the Control Plan flow live into the Measurement Lab — nobody re-types a spec.
A stand-up incident escalates directly into a PDCA case, with the record attached, not re-described.
Every screen is built to guide, step by step — a new operator needs the screen, not a training class.
Who built this

Built by someone who lived it.

Years spent inside real automotive production and quality roles — not requirements gathered secondhand. Every module reflects a workflow that was run by hand, on a real shop floor, before it was ever written as code.

The field

Four tiers. No tier solves the whole thing at a price a mid-sized supplier will pay.

Tier 1 — Enterprise MES/QMS
Siemens Opcenter, SAP ME/MII, Plex, MasterControl
$25k – $2.5M
9–18 month deployments, priced for OEMs.
Tier 2 — Connected Worker
Tulip, Poka, L2L, SafetyCulture
$250 – $8,000/mo
Strong shop-floor digitisation, weak automotive core tools.
Tier 3 — Specialists
Q-DAS, Net-Inspect, Omnex i-PPAP, Intelex
$49 – $250/user/mo
Best-in-class at one thing — buy three, none talk to each other.
Tier 4 — What Actually Runs
Palstat, Supplios — and overwhelmingly, Excel
€0 – low hundreds
The real incumbent in Tier 2/3 plants. The competitor to beat.
Where Prodnexa sits

The core tools of Tier 1, the daily shop-floor rhythm of Tier 2, audit and SPC depth reaching toward Tier 3 — combined, at a Tier 4 price.

Market opportunity

Wider than automotive.

Shift planning, vacation planning and performance-based pay carry zero automotive-specific logic. Retail, healthcare, logistics and hospitality all run shifts.

Why the price can be this low

A cost structure they can't match.

Their cost stack

  • Data-centre contracts
  • Sales teams and implementation consultants
  • 9–18 month deployments, billed by the hour
  • Years of legacy architecture — hard to restructure now

Our cost stack

  • Pay-as-you-go cloud hosting, scales on demand
  • AI-leveraged, small and effective team
  • Days from request to production
  • A fresh, flexible system — built to adapt to your needs
< $2,000 / year
total infrastructure cost at 30 users — the marginal cost of a new plant is close to nothing
Business model

Pricing, in three pieces.

Illustrative for now — the real numbers get set with the first design-partner plants. Flat, per plant, not per seat: the friction every per-user competitor charges for.

  • Chemical safety, certifications

A 30-user plant on Intelex Essentials alone (its cheapest published tier — Advanced and Enterprise cost more): from $1,470/month. The Full Plant Suite here: €890/month, flat.

What's next

Known gaps, in priority order — not hidden.

01

No machine data — the biggest one

Every competitor's OEE story starts at the PLC. A CSV drop folder or basic OPC-UA reader is next.

In plan
02

MSA is not competitive yet

A stored repeatability percentage, not a real operator × part × trial study with %GRR and ndc.

In plan
03

No mobile app, no offline

Responsive web only today. Shop floors have bad wifi and people carry phones.

In plan
04

No security certification yet

TISAX is effectively a gate for software touching OEM-adjacent data.

In plan
05

Not yet multi-tenant

Built for one company today. Needed before a second customer comes on.

In plan
06

Bus factor of one, thin tests

Four test files against ~33,000 lines, one person who understands all of it.

In plan
Building the team

Looking for a technical co-founder, and someone to own sales.

This was built by a small, effective team, with AI — faster and cheaper than any legacy competitor's process allows. Looking for a technical partner who's shipped to production and is genuinely interested in industrial software — and separately, someone to own go-to-market, since that isn't where I want to spend my time. Terms are a conversation, not a listing.
