The shop floor
writes the record.
Materials come in. Production happens. Components are consumed, finished goods are created, inventory moves, orders go out. Most of that coordination happens in conversation — and then somebody re-types it into a system hours later.
In Fint, the conversation is the entry. Your production and quality workflows become MessageForms.
- On the line
- Runs logged as they happen
- In QC
- Inspections with evidence attached
- In planning
- Materials and output that reconcile
Heard on the floor
This conversation
already happens.
None of this is new work. It's the work your team already does by message, radio, and phone call — and then re-types into a system later, or doesn't.
Fint connects those conversations to the business transactions underneath them.

Dana Okafor — Line 2 · Shift A
online
Starting the 4,000-unit run on Line 2. Short on the 12mm housings.
07:05Pulling 500 from the component store now.
07:06A day in the operation
One day in manufacturing.
Nothing below is a separate administrative task. Each one is the moment the work happened, recorded by the person who did it.
- Shift start
The run is released
The supervisor sees the work order as a message, confirms the line is ready, and pulls what the run needs from the component store.
- Mid-shift
Something goes wrong
A dimensional check fails. The inspector raises a nonconformance with the measurement and a photo — in the same thread as the run, not a separate quality system.
- Line stop
Maintenance is called
The maintenance request carries the machine, the symptom, and the clock. Downtime is measured from the message, not from memory.
- Shift end
The numbers already exist
Good units, scrap, consumed material, and yield were recorded as the shift ran. Nobody stays late reconciling a paper travelers pile.
MessageForms
The forms this industry actually needs.
These ship as part of the built ERP or get shaped to your process. If your business has a step that matters, it can become a MessageForm.
Production run
Materials consumed, output produced, scrap recorded against the work order.
Quality inspection
In-process or final checks with measurements and photos attached.
Material issue
Move components from the store to the line, confirmed at the line.
Maintenance request
Report a machine problem from the floor, with downtime tracked.
Nonconformance
Raise, disposition, and close a quality issue in one thread.
New item / BOM change
Route a new part or revision through review and approval.
Incoming inspection
Check supplier material before it reaches the line.
Downtime log
Why the line stopped, for how long, and who was on it.

One entry
No re-keying
The person who did the work records it, in the message where the work was discussed.
With evidence
Quality that holds up
Measurements, photos, and dispositions stay attached to the lot and the order.
Real numbers
Yield you can trust
Output, scrap, and consumption reconcile because they were captured at the source.

A 30-minute walkthrough
We show the real product — messages, MessageForms, and the records underneath.
Bring your hardest hand-off
The receipt that always goes wrong, the approval nobody can find. We'll show it in Fint.
Then talk about the gaps
If a process doesn't fit the standard system, we'll scope the MessageForms that would.
