Notes from the shop floor.

We're onboarding our first pilot customers

We're opening a small batch of pilot seats for manufacturers who want to build the product with us. Your feedback shapes what Wisemove becomes. Here's what that looks like.

Team Wisemove

WhatsApp is running your factory. Make it official.

The supervisor's group chat knows more about your shop floor than your ERP does. That's not a discipline problem — it's a signal worth using.

Team Wisemove

Why your schedule is stale by lunch

You planned the week on Monday morning. By Monday lunch, the plan was fiction. Here's why that keeps happening — and why it isn't your planner's fault.

Team Wisemove

The hidden cost of rework — it's bigger than you think

One miscommunication about a drawing change costs you a batch of parts. Most custom manufacturers can't track where the margin actually went.

Team Wisemove

Your ERP is great at history. It's terrible at right now.

Your ERP knows what happened last week. It has no idea what's happening on the floor right now. And you're trying to run a factory with a system that is always behind.

Team Wisemove

Your factory is stuck in firefighting mode. Here's why.

Firefighting feels like productivity. But it is the opposite. Every hour spent firefighting is an hour your planner cannot spend planning.

Team Wisemove

The material tracking nightmare — where your margin disappears

You ordered material Tuesday. You don't know if it is at the supplier, in transit, or already in the warehouse. And you are running a schedule based on a guess.

Team Wisemove

Capacity planning without real data is just guessing

You think you have 40% free capacity. You book jobs based on that. Then reality hits and you're overbooked.

Team Wisemove

Running multiple shifts but the message doesn't pass between them

The day shift left a note about a job change. The night shift never saw it. By morning, half the batch is wrong.

Team Wisemove

You promised Friday. It's Thursday night and they don't know.

Your customer thinks the job will ship Friday. You know it will not. But nobody has called to say so, because the planner just found out an hour ago.

Team Wisemove

The CNC operator asks 'What do you want me to run next?' and nobody knows.

A job finishes. The next priority is unclear. The operator waits. The machine is idle. Three hours of the day, in aggregate, are lost to idle time waiting for priority calls.
