Convert approved tech packs into factory operations bulletins through your API.

Connect approved specifications to factory ERP, MES, sourcing portals, and inspection systems. Give production teams one current bulletin, one revision log, and a structured payload for the line.

Built for production managers, not for designers.
Production managers are the ones held accountable when the line stops. Wrong trims, outdated specs, missing measurements, untraceable approvals. The F* Word receives approved tech packs through an API, integrates with your factory systems, and turns it into a clean operations bulletin the floor can act on.
FACTORY AND SYSTEM INTEGRATIONS
Factory ERP and MES
Push the approved tech pack and bulletin straight into the factory's planning system through API.
PLM and ERP sync
Two-way sync with Centric, PTC FlexPLM, Backbone, and custom systems through REST endpoints.
Sourcing and vendor portals
Share a versioned, vendor-scoped link instead of email chains of PDFs.
QC and inspection apps
Send AQL plans and measurement points to inline and final inspection tools.

Revision history
What gets cleaner on the floor.

One source of truth at the line
Production managers and line supervisors see the latest approved spec, not a six-week-old PDF.
Factory readiness checks
Flag missing trims, lab dips, or approvals before the order is released to cutting.
Approval and revision history
Every change is logged with who approved it and when. Disputes get resolved by record.
Fewer supplier follow-ups
