Everything it takes to make it and ship it.
Every capability in FactoryGrids exists because Atlas needed it to ship its own products. Nothing here is theoretical. It all runs as one closed loop, from real sales through planning, machines, materials, inventory, packaging, labels, and shipments, then back around to the next run.
Machines and production.
Connect the machines that make your products over the protocols they already speak, then run them like one production line instead of a row of disconnected queues. Bambu Lab over cloud or local MQTT, Klipper through Moonraker, OctoPrint, PrusaLink, and GRBL or FluidNC for CNC.
Connect your machines. Watch every run.
FactoryGrids talks directly to your printers and CNC controllers over their own protocols, from Bambu Lab MQTT and Klipper to GRBL, to send jobs and monitor status in real time. See every machine, its current job, and its queue in one view, so you always know what is running, what is idle, and what is next.
- Send jobs over MQTT, Moonraker, OctoPrint, PrusaLink, GRBL, and FluidNC from one place
- Live status cards for active and idle machines, with jobs and queue depth
- Capacity at a glance, so you can balance load across the fleet
Planning that maps to what you need to make.
Print planning ties production directly to your catalog. FactoryGrids lays out the products and components you need to build, so the plan you run on the floor matches the orders coming in, not a guess from last month.
- A planning table of products and the components each one needs
- Runs that reflect what you actually need to make right now
- One source of truth between the office and the shop floor
Sales channels and demand.
Your storefronts decide what you should build. FactoryGrids pulls them together and turns live demand into the order you run the floor in.
Real demand drives real production.
FactoryGrids integrates automatically with Amazon, through Amazon's API, plus Etsy and Shopify, with more channels on the way. It tracks sales in real time across every marketplace you connect, then uses that live demand to plan, prioritize, and optimize production runs, so you build what is actually selling.
- Automatic Amazon, Etsy, and Shopify integration, and more
- Real-time sales tracking across every connected marketplace
- Production runs prioritized and optimized against live demand
- Connect with your own credentials, used only to read your sales
Materials and inventory.
Stock, parts, and finished builds in one model, so a run never starts short and you always know what you can ship today.
Never start a run short on stock.
FactoryGrids tracks raw material levels against your planned runs, so you see a shortfall before it stops a job. Build inventory, parts, and bills of materials live in one model, and the app shows which assemblies you can complete right now with the stock on hand.
- Raw material levels tracked against planned production runs
- Build inventory, parts, and bills of materials in one place
- See which products and subassemblies you can complete right now
- Shortfalls surface early, before they hold up an order
Built for real operations.
The details that decide whether a system survives contact with a real business: more than one currency, more than one site, stock you can trust, and alerts that reach you in time.
Multi-currency
Sell in more than twenty ISO 4217 currencies, with locale-aware formatting and rounding so totals match what each customer expects.
Multi-factory profiles
Run separate brands and sites from one app, with per-factory scoping so each location sees only its own machines, stock, and orders.
Inventory reservations
Claim stock for planned shipments so production cannot double-book the same parts across two runs.
Alert rules and routing
Set thresholds that route to Slack, Discord, Email, SMS, or Pushover, with rolling one-hour rate limits so you are warned, not buried.
Atlas AI.
A featured assistant that reads your live operation and turns it into plain-language insight and answers, drawn entirely from your own data. Run it on fifteen providers: bring your own LLM key, run on-device with Apple Foundation, or self-host with Ollama.
An assistant that knows your operation.
Atlas AI reads your live data and explains it in plain language: what is at risk, what to restock, what is accelerating, and what to make next. Ask it about your catalog, your stock, or your production needs, or let its summaries surface the calls that need your attention first.
- Plain-language insight and answers drawn from your own live data
- Assign a different provider to each AI feature, from on-device to your own key
- AI Insights surface as chips right on the dashboard
- AI draft replies for customer tickets, plus auto-naming for products and files
- AI image generation for product and listing art
- API keys are stored locally only, and never leave your Mac
The whole operation, at a glance.
The dashboard pulls the same live data into one executive view: a stock-risk breakdown, days of cover, top movers, and revenue at a glance. It is the morning read that tells you where to point the day, with Atlas AI ready to go deeper on anything.
- An executive summary across sales, stock, and production
- Stock-risk breakdown and days of cover up front
- Top movers and revenue, so the priorities are obvious
AI that respects your data.
Use as much or as little of the cloud as you want. Atlas AI is built so the powerful option and the private option are the same product.
Local-first key storage
Your API keys live in the local keychain and are used only to make the calls you ask for. They never leave your Mac.
On-device option
Apple Foundation runs models on the Mac itself, so routine AI needs no API key and no network call.
Self-hosted option
Point Atlas AI at your own Ollama instance to keep every prompt and response inside your network.
Shipping and fulfillment.
The same system that planned the run finishes the job: packaging, labels, shipments, and Amazon FBA prep, all without leaving the app. Buy postage with your own carrier accounts and print to the hardware on your bench.
From finished build to out the door.
Generate the labels a shipment needs and work through a clear queue of what is ready to go. Shipments sit alongside the production that created them, so the handoff from making to shipping is one continuous flow instead of a re-keying exercise.
- Buy and print carrier labels from a clear, ready-to-go queue
- Shipments organized right alongside production
- Amazon FBA shipment prep without the busywork
Packaging tracked like everything else.
Packaging is part of the build, not an afterthought. FactoryGrids keeps a list of the packaging components your products use, so boxes, inserts, and materials are accounted for in the same model as parts and stock, and you do not get caught packing without supplies.
- A clear list of the packaging components each product needs
- Packaging tracked in the same model as parts and stock
- Never get caught ready to ship but out of boxes
Carriers, scales, and label printers.
Direct carrier labels
Buy and print labels with USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, ShipStation, and Shippo, using your own carrier accounts.
Automatic weight capture
A connected USB shipping scale drops the parcel weight straight into the shipment.
Any label printer
Print to any CUPS-compatible printer, with Zebra ZPL output for thermal label printers.
Validated addresses and documents
Address validation, box label PDFs with QR codes, and packing list PDFs, ready for the box.
Data and reliability.
Your operation runs on your own hardware. No required vendor cloud holds your data, and your channel credentials stay yours.
Your data stays on your hardware.
Operational data lives on a shared local and NAS-based system that you own, with database sync, backups, and recovery tools built in. The app reaches out to your sales-channel APIs using your own credentials, and only to read your sales. There is no required vendor cloud holding your operation hostage.
- Shared local and NAS storage that you control
- Database sync, backups, and recovery tools built in
- Your own credentials for channel APIs, used only to read sales
- No required vendor cloud holding your operational data
