# FactoryView

> Manufacturing execution system (MES) and shop-floor software for manufacturers in Northeast Indiana, Northwest Ohio, and Southern Michigan. Pre-built where it should be (dashboards, scoreboards, downtime, PLC connectivity, ERP integration). Customized where it has to be (samples, qualifications, temporary work instructions, the way your plant actually runs).

FactoryView is a product plus the engineers who customize it to your plant. We sit between off-the-shelf MES (one-size-fits-no-one) and pure custom development (a blank page). 10+ years in production at Tier-1 manufacturers. Headquartered in Fort Wayne, IN; in-person plant visits across the Great Lakes manufacturing corridor.

## Voice and positioning

FactoryView's voice is direct, opinionated where it counts, and measured where it should be. We don't promise outcomes we can't back up with a customer reference. We avoid jargon, AI marketing layers, and "best practices that mean 'the way our biggest customer does it.'" We talk about shift changes, PLCs, scrap lines, and ops meetings — because that's what the audience does for a living.
