SPEED OF DEPLOYMENT
“We were going to go with another company's software. The implementation time was nine months. That was too long. With 1factory, they were getting it to work within the first day."
Cliff M. Next Intent
PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT
"A print revision that would have historically taken three days to update inspection plans, now takes three minutes."
Abby L., Quality Engineer, rms Cretex
YIELD IMPROVEMENT
“We no longer have to scrap whole batches of parts, just a few one-offs here and there. We can now catch issues right when they happen."
Mike B., Quality Manager, Eskridge
AUDIT READINESS
"What previously required 3 days of frantic document gathering now takes just 4 hours of systematic report review - an 83% reduction in audit preparation time."
Tony S., Quality Manager, Vidar, an ITT Company
OPERATIONS EXCELLENCE
"We're engineers. We believe that the best solutions are the ones that make complex things simple. 1Factory's quality management system does exactly that - it takes all the complexity of compliance, documentation, and process control and makes it as straightforward as flipping a switch."
Tony S., Quality Manager, Vidar, an ITT Company
LOWEST TOTAL COST
"We were looking for a software that could balloon drawings, create inspection plans, PFMEAs, record in-process inspection data from 23 different CMMs and various bluetooth inspection devices, record calibration data, and be easy to use for all skill levels. We are able to condense 5 different quality systems into one easy to use system."
Brad C. Director of Quality, Ultra Machining Company

WHO WE ARE & WHO WE SERVE.
WHO WE ARE
We are a team of experienced manufacturing and software engineers with a relentless passion for building tools that actually work. Tools that can be deployed and useful in hours. Tools that unlock thousands of hours of savings each year.
We've visited hundreds of customers, across the country and around the world, to observe work on the shop floor. To see what works and what doesn't. To then build software that solves real problems. Problem statements that you won't find in any textbook, and solutions you definitely won't find in our competitors' software.
We believe software tools for manufacturing should be fairly priced. Customers should not need expensive third-party consultants to start using a product they've already paid for. Nor should they need integrations between poorly designed products to get workflows moving.
As our customers will tell you, we make the complex simple. We've delivered powerful yets simple solutions for the most challenging of quality and manufacturing problems. We've delivered enterprise capability without enterprise costs or enterprise complexity.
And we've been enabling American manufacturing's comeback long before "American Dynamism" became a venture capital slogan.
Today, over 500 manufacturers in 35 countries rely on 1factory for quality control, compliance, and production operations 24 x 7 x 365. And we are now scaling up for the next 5000.
WHO WE SERVE
Our customers aren't just users of our product. They're our partners in development. Without them, we would not exist. And we are grateful for their partnership.
Our customers include manufacturers that make some of the most challenging products in the world. From precision components for Mars missions, to life-saving medical devices, and defense systems that keep us all safe.
Our customers don't just use 1factory - they help us make it better. For everyone. Quality managers, manufacturers, machinists, and inspectors across industries regularly review features, join design sessions, and send feedback that drives our roadmap.
They do this because they recognize that 1factory is something rare: a software company that actually understands their world and is working hard to make their lives easier. They do this because they see their recommendations turn into features and improvements.
Companies like Palantir coined the term "forward deployed engineers" - engineers working at customer sites to customize the solution and build exactly what customers need. Brilliant, but also expensive and un-scalable for most manufacturers.
We did it better. We democratized that model. Instead of expensive engineers customizing software at each customer site, we generalized problem statements, and built configurable solutions. And unlike custom implementations, the features we build with one customer benefit them all.
Manufacturers deploy 1factory in hours, not months, and see an ROI in weeks not years.
EASY TO USE. LIGHTNING FAST.
INTUITIVE DESIGN
1factory is designed for the front-line of quality control with design inputs and ideas from our users. 1factory's intuitive navigation and best-in-class screen-designs make training a breeze. Training and full-deployment takes under two hours with no disruption to operations.
