Your Daily Challenges
How much time does your team lose before the work even starts?
Searching for an asset. Checking which part is correct. Calling an experienced colleague. Finding the latest instructions. Which of these slows down your team?
When locations and information are hard to find, routine work takes longer and responding to a breakdown becomes more difficult. As experienced employees leave, their knowledge can become harder to replace.
The same task is carried out differently across shifts.
A work order identifies the task, but employees still need to find the asset and the right information.
Checking what was completed, where, and when takes extra effort.

How WORKFORCE Helps
Connect every task to the right asset, location, and instructions.
- Connect - Bring relevant tasks and information from your existing systems.
- Guide - Help employees reach and identify the right asset.
- Document - Record location, findings, photos, and completion details.
- Update - Return work status and evidence to connected systems.
Use Cases
Where could WORKFORCE make the biggest difference in your facility?
Start with the workflow that creates the most searching, delays, or follow-up work. Both WORKFORCE solutions use the same positioning technology to connect tasks and information to physical assets.
Real maintenance routine
01 · Maintenance & compliance
Bring the right inspection to the right asset.
Problem: When inspection records lack location, photos, or findings, checking what happened creates extra work.
WORKFORCE: WORKFORCE guides employees to the asset, opens the relevant inspection, and records time, location, findings, and photos.
- Completion records linked to the asset
- Evidence for audit preparation
- Less manual documentation
Real defect workflow
02 · Defects & downtime
Give your team the location and knowledge to act.
Problem: When a machine stops, unclear defect locations and scattered information can delay the response.
WORKFORCE: WORKFORCE connects the defect to its location, guides employees there, and provides asset history, instructions, and required parts at the point of work.
- Less searching before repairs begin
- Documented progress from report to resolution
- Asset knowledge available across shifts
Navigate to the exact item
03 · Spare parts & asset pickup
Find the right item with less searching.
Problem: When items move and location records fall behind, employees spend time searching and checking whether they have the correct part.
WORKFORCE: WORKFORCE guides employees to the item’s recorded location, helps identify it, and records pickup, relocation, and status.
- Less searching and unnecessary walking
- Help identifying the correct item
- Recorded pickups and relocations
Real asset tracking workflow
04 · Asset tracking & production flow
See where assets are and where they need to go.
Problem: As materials and work in progress move through your facility, outdated location records make it harder to find assets and coordinate the next movement.
WORKFORCE: WORKFORCE records asset locations, receives movement orders from your ERP, guides employees to the asset and destination, and returns completion updates.
- Less time locating assets
- Visibility of recorded asset movements
- Better information for storage planning
- Movement status shared with your ERP

What would implementation involve at your site?
Does WORKFORCE replace ERP, MES or CAFM?
No. It connects these systems to verified execution in the physical world through APIs.
How fast can we start?
A focused setup can be completed in days. Scope depends on the site and the first use cases.
Do we need beacons or new positioning hardware?
No powered positioning infrastructure is required. The patented approach works camera-first on standard mobile devices.
What do we receive during setup?
The setup includes the spatial foundation, digital twin, 360° walkthrough and accurate 2D as-is floor plan without additional cost.
