We replaced Excel in MSME factory operations — here’s what we learned

Most MSME and manufacturing teams still run critical factory operations on Excel, WhatsApp, and manual coordination.

This creates delays, confusion, and zero real-time visibility on the shop-floor.

We started building Optiwise to solve a simple problem:

👉 How can factory operations (inventory, production, sales, purchase) run with clarity and real-time visibility?

Instead of building another dashboard, we focused on AI agents that can:

  • Track inventory across workflows
  • Assist in production planning
  • Improve coordination between teams
  • Reduce dependency on manual Excel processes

The goal is not just automation — but better decision-making on the shop-floor.

We’re still early and actively learning from real factory use cases.

Would love feedback from:
• MSME owners
• Manufacturing teams
• Anyone working on shop-floor operations

👉 If you’re running a factory or still managing operations on Excel, this might be relevant to you.
