Notes.
Append-only with revision chains. You can add to a note but you cannot silently alter what was written. The record is permanent. The institutional memory survives the shift change.
append-only · revision chains03
Real-time events.
A live WebSocket stream shows what is happening on each job as it happens. No refresh, no polling. The floor and the office see the same state at the same time.
WebSocket · live · no polling04
AI assistance.
Summarize a job’s history. Draft a note from bullet points. Route an alert to the right person. Review a process state. Powered by Claude, scoped to the facility’s data.

Artifacts.
Photos, documents, readings, attached to jobs via presigned URLs. Upload from the floor, review from the office. S3-compatible storage via MinIO.

The middle market.
Not SAP. Not a spreadsheet. Clarkware targets the underserved gap between heavyweight ERP systems and the disconnected tools most small-to-mid manufacturers actually use.
