AI-powered factory management
Your factory runs on spreadsheets.
It shouldn’t.
NKD imports your operational spreadsheet once, turns it into a live production workflow, and hands every operator exactly one thing: the next task. No more copies, no more catch-up data entry.

The spreadsheet trap
Spreadsheets were built for accounting, not for a factory floor in motion.
01
Version chaos
FMS_final_v7_REAL.xlsx. Every supervisor keeps a copy, nobody trusts any of them, and the truth lives in someone's head.
02
Invisible bottlenecks
A job stalls at stitching for three days and nobody notices until the buyer calls. Spreadsheets don't raise their hand.
03
Data entry after the fact
Operators work all day, then someone retypes it into a sheet at night. Errors compound; reports arrive too late to act on.
How it works
From a messy .xlsx to a running production line, in an afternoon.
01
Import your sheet once
Upload your existing FMS spreadsheet as .xlsx, or pick it straight from Google Drive. That one file is the only import you'll ever do — no live sync, no fragile links back to the sheet.
02
AI maps it to a workflow
Our AI reads your columns and proposes a workflow template: production steps in order, job-level fields, and per-step fields. You review, adjust, and approve every mapping before anything goes live.
03
Run production just-in-time
Each task is created the moment the previous step completes — never a wall of pre-made checklists. Operators see exactly what's next; admins see where every job actually stands.
What you get
An operating system for the factory, sized for an SMB.
JIT workflow engine
Steps fire in order, one at a time, per job. Finish cutting and the stitching task appears — with the data it needs already attached.
Your fields, not ours
Job-level and step-level fields come from your own sheet's columns. The system adapts to how your factory already works.
Versioned workflows
Edit a workflow and running jobs keep their original steps. New jobs pick up the new version. History never gets rewritten.
Mobile-first, floor-first
A native iOS and Android app built for supervisors walking the line — not a desktop dashboard bolted onto a phone screen.
Company-scoped isolation
Every record is scoped to your company in PostgreSQL. Your production data is never visible to another tenant.
Clean exports
Need a flat file for a buyer or an auditor? Export read-only .xlsx snapshots any time — without reviving the old spreadsheet workflow.
Your data, on your terms
How NKD uses your Google account.
You can sign in with Google and, optionally, connect Google Drive to import your factory spreadsheet. That’s the entire relationship — here is exactly what it means.
You pick the file
We only read the spreadsheet you explicitly select from your Google Drive during setup — nothing else in your Drive.
One-time import
Your sheet is parsed once to build your workflow template. We never sync back to it, edit it, or watch it in the background.
Revoke any time
Disconnect Google Drive from the app, or from your Google Account security settings, and our access ends immediately.
NKD’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Read the full details in our Privacy Policy.
