Brick Kiln Inventory Software

I run a brick kiln and need a purpose-built piece of software that puts inventory management front and centre while still giving me clear insight into day-to-day production. The solution must run smoothly on tablets because that’s what my staff use on the kiln floor.

Core scope
My top priority is an inventory module that shows current stock levels at a glance and updates automatically as materials come in or bricks go out. Alongside that, I also want to track what is happening inside each kiln, how much raw material is being consumed, and how many finished bricks are ready for sale.

Key deliverables
• Inventory dashboard with real-time adjustments
• Kiln activity monitor (batch status, firing cycles, downtime)
• Raw material usage tracker with reorder alerts
• Finished-goods ledger tied directly to dispatch records
• Tablet-optimised interface with offline sync where possible
• Basic reports (daily, weekly, monthly) exportable to Excel or PDF

Acceptance will be based on a live demo running on a tablet in our yard, accurate data capture across the above areas, and clear documentation so we can train new operators quickly. I’m open to your suggested tech stack as long as it meets these goals and can be maintained easily over time.
