Questions buyers actually ask.

Discrete and process manufacturing — paint and coatings, metal fabrication, aerospace parts, assembly lines, any plant that runs scheduled production with machines that go up and down. If your shift report today is an Excel sheet or a whiteboard, DOVAmfg fits.

Both, kept small. The MES side: work orders, live production tracking, OEE, and the shop-floor display. The CMMS side: downtime capture with reason codes, recurring-issue patterns, and time-to-resolution tracking. We deliberately do not try to be an ERP or a full enterprise asset management system.

No. DOVAmfg sits alongside them. Import your schedule once, run production tracking in DOVAmfg, and keep your ERP for accounting and orders. For ERPs we connect to today, see the Integrations page.

Yes. The Starter plan is one flat monthly price per location that includes up to 12 machines, with unlimited operators and office users and every feature included. Most small plants are running within a day.

One business day for most plants. Create the account, add your location and departments, upload a schedule file, invite your team, pair a TV display. That is it — no multi-month consulting engagement.

No. DOVAmfg is a web app. If you can use Gmail, you can set up DOVAmfg. For enterprise rollouts with SSO, ERP connections, or multi-site data flows, an IT person helps — but single-plant setup requires nothing special.

No. DOVAmfg runs in any modern browser. For the shop-floor TV view, any display with a web browser works — fire tablets, stick PCs, regular TVs. Operator stations can be existing PCs, tablets, or phones.

DOVAmfg is a web app and needs a connection. If the wifi drops, the station screen shows an offline notice and reconnects on its own when the network is back. Anything already saved is safe, but entries made during the outage are not stored, so log them once the connection returns. Most plants put the station on a wired connection or a dedicated access point for this reason.

We ship a connector for ERPNext today. SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Dynamics 365 are available as a scoped engagement for enterprise customers. A direct PostgreSQL connection also works for homegrown systems. The full list and roadmap live on the Integrations page.

Direct machine protocols — MTConnect, OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT — are on the roadmap for 2027. Today, operators capture downtime at the station with reason codes. Machine-level direct capture is the next major release.

You own your data. Ask us at any time and we send a full export of your company data in CSV format. If you cancel, we provide a full export and delete your data — we do not hold it hostage.

Operators and office users are unlimited on every plan. You pay per location, and each location includes a set number of machines (12 on Starter, 24 on Professional); machines above that are a small per-machine charge. See the Pricing page for the current numbers.

Yes. DOVAmfg is responsive and works on phones, tablets, and desktops. Most plants run a mix — tablets at stations, phones for supervisors walking the floor, desktops in the office.

Yes. The Locations Overview shows OEE, downtime, and rejection counts across every plant in one view. Per-plant drill-down is one click.

Not yet — and we are transparent about this, no fake badges. A SOC 2 readiness program is actively underway, so an audit can start as soon as a customer requires the report. Available today: encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256), two-factor authentication, role-based access control, tenant isolation enforced at the database layer, audit logging, and a DPA.
