A closer look at Kanban Live
Curious how Kanban Live works for your business — whatever you make, store or supply? This tour walks through how we set things up with you, and what to expect from our service. We've made it as easy as possible to run a foolproof, just-in-time system anyone can use.
Upload your item master and we'll import it. The file should be a CSV with sku, name, base_uom and tracking flags.
Easy set-up
Changing the software your business relies on every day seems like a big step. But with Kanban Live it's easy — we'll organise the data transfer while you carry on doing what you do best. Seed your location types once — sites, panels, shelves, reels, containers — and everything's in the cloud, ready to start maximising your inventory.
Simple to use
When you're leading change, it's hard to get buy-in on the shop floor — especially when your vision involves new systems. Give the team something easier to use and it's a different story. Kanban Live's iPad and iPhone apps mean a shallow learning curve and a logical, familiar control system that takes no time to master. Every location shows its scan state, policy and live on-hand against what's already on order.
Ordering, automated
Your team just scans stock in and out with Socket Mobile or Linea Pro sleds — Kanban Live does the rest. As locations trip, it auto-drafts purchase orders to your suppliers and transfer orders from your own warehouse, consolidating twenty scans into one order. Your buyer reviews, approves and sends; at goods-in a GS1 scan captures product, lot and expiry in a single read. You can still run a classic twin-bin system for high-volume, low-cost parts.
Ready to see it on your shop floor?
Always available, even offline
Wherever you are you have instant access to your inventory from phone, tablet or computer — and when the signal drops on the shop floor, scans and movements queue on the device and sync cleanly the moment you're back. No wasted trips for out-of-stock items, and an accurate number you can quote in a meeting. Every scan, movement and order status flows into one activity feed.
Scalable growth
Worrying about the size of your inventory? Need the option to scale up or down when the time is right? Kanban Live offers flexible plans for any size of business. And because we don't insist on contracts, we can grow with you or shrink with you — whichever, whenever is best for you.
No user limits
Businesses have different needs, and it isn't fair to impose user limits. We charge only for the number of active locations you track — so you can stay as flexible as you like and bring your whole team on board at no extra cost.
