AI ON A LEASH

Ask anything. Approve everything.

Built-in assistants answer in plain language from your live data. They can draft a change, but nothing happens until a person has seen the before and after and said yes.

ASK

Plain words in. Real answers out.

"Which jobs are overdue right now?" The answer comes from your live data, with links to the jobs, in the same numbers your dashboard shows.

  • An assistant for each part of the shop
  • Figures worked out by ShopFloor itself, never guessed
  • It only sees what the person asking could open

CHANGE, WITH APPROVAL

It drafts. You decide.

"Make that job high priority." The assistant writes a plan. You see exactly what will change, and apply it or not. It can only do what you could do by hand.

  • Every action shown as before and after
  • Refine the plan in words before you apply it
  • Nothing is written until a person approves

REPORTS & SCHEDULES

On paper. On a schedule.

Ask for a report and get a PDF built from checked figures. Ask for it every week and it arrives every week.

Reports on request

The assistant drafts the brief, you adjust it, ShopFloor builds the PDF from its own numbers.

Every Monday at seven

Say when and who; it is emailed on time, run as the person who approved it.

Relative periods

"Last week" and "this month" mean the right dates every time it runs.

YOUR OWN AI TOOLS

Already use Claude? Connect it.

ShopFloor speaks MCP, so an outside AI tool can work with your shop, acting as one named person and never more.

Acts as you

The connection is one named user, with that person's permissions, recomputed on every request.

Only the areas you tick

Choose a level and the modules it may see. A connection never widens access.

Your approval page

Anything it drafts waits on your own Approvals page. Only you can approve it.

Off until you switch it on

It ships switched off, and there is a kill switch.

THE BOUNDS

What the assistants will never do.

Every assistant, every report, every connection: bounded by your permissions and approved by a person.

Write without a person

Assistants read and draft. Only a person applies a change.

See more than you can

The same permissions gate the assistant as the screen.

Guess a figure

Numbers come from ShopFloor's own calculations, or not at all.

Explain a refusal

If something is not available, it says so plainly, without saying why.

Which AI provider does it use?

The shop's own provider key, set in Settings. Without one there is simply no AI, and everything else works.

Can it run our own SQL or reach the database directly?

No. Assistants use read tools, each with its own permission. Raw database queries are switched off for everyone by default.
