Know what to make next. Then get it out the door.
Bring sales, stock, and production into one view. FactoryGrids helps you spot stockout risks, identify rising demand, and decide what to make or restock next. Plan the work, track materials, and prepare shipments in the same Mac app.
Native macOS app · macOS 27 or later · Apple Silicon
Feature availability varies by plan. Compare plans.
See what is changing. Decide what comes next.
Bring sales trends, stock coverage, and production needs into one view. Use current records to decide where your team should focus.
What should we make next?
Compare target quantities, stock on hand, and scheduled production to review replenishment needs.
What needs restocking?
Use stock risk and estimated days of cover to find products that may run out soon.
Which products need attention?
Compare recent sales trends to spot rising or slowing demand and review inventory targets.
Where should we focus production?
Check material availability and machine capacity before committing 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.
Browse machine connection options, including integrations in beta. Check supported actions and availability.
Connect your machines. Watch every run.
Send jobs and monitor status across supported printers and CNC controllers. See active work, idle machines, and queued jobs together to choose where the next run should go.
- 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.
Turn your priorities into a production plan linked to your catalog. Review the products, components, and quantities needed for the next run, then share that plan with the shop floor.
- Review required products, components, and build quantities
- Use available stock and target quantities to plan replenishment
- Keep the office and shop floor working from the same plan
Sales channels and demand.
Use demand and stock coverage to set production priorities. Sales and inventory from connected channels help you decide which products need the next run.
Decide what to make before the shelf runs empty.
Bring imported sales and inventory into one view of demand. Compare those records with stock on hand and planned production to decide what to make or restock next. Supported data and refresh behavior vary by channel.
- Connect Amazon, Etsy, and Shopify with your own credentials
- Bring supported sales and inventory imports into one view
- Use stock coverage and sales trends to choose production priorities
- Check each channel's supported actions in the integration directory
Materials and inventory.
See stock availability alongside planned production. Keep materials, parts, and finished builds in one place to understand what you can build and ship.
Spot material shortages before a run starts.
Compare materials on hand with the requirements of planned runs. Check buildable quantities and limiting components to decide whether to start a build or restock first.
- Check material requirements against recorded stock
- Keep parts and bills of materials linked to finished products
- Review buildable quantities for products and subassemblies
- Identify the component limiting a planned build
Built for real operations.
Support the details of day-to-day operations: multiple currencies and sites, inventory reservations, and alerts routed to your team.
Multi-currency
Work with multiple currencies, with currency-aware amounts and local number formatting.
Multi-factory profiles
Run separate brands and sites from one app, with per-factory scoping for machines, stock, and orders. Factory includes up to three operating sites; larger operations are quoted separately.
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.
Ask your data what needs attention.
Ask Atlas AI about stock, sales trends, and production needs. Get summaries and suggested priorities based on the data in FactoryGrids, then decide what to do next. Choose a supported local or hosted provider; availability and capabilities vary. Hosted AI usage is billed to your provider account, separately from your FactoryGrids subscription.
Turn questions into priorities to review.
Use Atlas AI to help explain trends, risks, and production needs from the operational data you provide. Review its suggestions alongside your records, then choose the next action for your business.
- Ask about stock risk, demand trends, and production priorities
- Choose providers by AI feature; check compatibility in the directory
- 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 with compatible providers for product and listing art
- API keys are stored locally and sent to your selected provider to authenticate requests
See what needs your attention next.
See stock risk, estimated days of stock remaining, and sales trends together. Use that view to set the day's priorities and review which products need replenishment.
- Spot products at risk of running out
- Compare estimated stock coverage across products
- Identify products gaining or losing demand
AI that respects your data.
Choose where AI requests are processed: on your Mac, on your own server, or by a hosted provider. Supported AI features vary by provider. Compare AI connection options.
Local-first key storage
Your keys are stored locally and sent directly to the provider you choose to authenticate requests. Hosted AI also receives the prompts, operational context, and attachments included in those requests.
On-device option
Choose Apple Foundation's on-device option to process prompts on the Mac itself, with no provider API key or hosted inference request.
Self-hosted option
Point Atlas AI at an Ollama instance running on your Mac or local network. Requests go to that server; where you host it determines where the data is processed.
Product data.
Keep product records, stock, and planning targets together. Review the details behind each product in the same place you plan what to build.
Review the record behind each product.
Find a product by name or SKU, then review its stock and planning fields. Keep target quantities, reserves, and safety stock beside the selected product record.
- Review factory, marketplace, combined, and inbound stock
- Set target quantities, reserves, safety stock, and priority
- Keep packaging settings and linked product controls in view
Shipping and fulfillment.
Prepare packaging, labels, shipments, and Amazon FBA prep alongside production. See what is ready to ship and what still needs attention.
Buy postage through supported carriers and shipping services using your own accounts. Postage and third-party service fees are separate from your FactoryGrids subscription.

Find and pair devices
Supported devices find the hub over Bonjour and pair with a QR code. Companion access depends on current availability.
