RackPilot gives small and mid-size manufacturers live pallet tracking, goods-in checks, OEE, downtime and packaging control — on tablets and the wall TV. No cloud. No six-figure WMS project. Live in days.
Built for food & beverage, bakery, snacks, co-packers, 3PLs and cold stores — anywhere pallets move and lines run.
Enterprise WMS costs six figures and takes a year. Paper loses pallets, hides shortages and stops lines. RackPilot is the middle path built for real factories.
Stock lives in someone's head or a whiteboard. Finding it wastes truck time every shift.
Film, labels or cases run out mid-run because nobody counted the consumables in time.
Downtime and OEE aren't measured, so the same losses repeat week after week.
Live locations across drive-in, LIFO, FIFO and static racking. Front-of-lane logic and stuck-pallet handling built in.
Check a whole supplier load against the booking, scan the UICs, flag shorts and overs, and auto-email the manager.
A one-tap "what's next" queue. Put-away jobs appear automatically on receiving. Robot/AGV-ready via VDA 5050.
Track availability, performance and quality per line and shift, with reasons logged as they happen.
Odds & sods stock sheets by area, scan-to-count, and automatic emails so lines never run dry.
Structured root-cause problem solving your CI team already knows, tied to the line and the loss.
Kiosk-safe tablet views for staff and a wall TV that updates the instant anything changes.
Pick which manager gets which alert — racking, goods-in, packaging, problems — at the cadence you choose.
One PC on your network. No cloud subscription, no outage when the internet drops.
Copy the folder, run it. No servers, no cloud account, no IT ticket.
Map your lanes and catalogue in an afternoon. Import a whole sheet at once.
Point any device on the network at the PC. Installs like an app, full-screen.
Receive, put away, pick, count and measure — everyone on the same live picture.
High-SKU, packaging-heavy lines that can't afford a stoppage.
Fast SKU churn and tight traceability on thin margins.
Drive-in and rolling racking that generic WMS handles badly.
Live locations and FIFO on a screen everyone can see.

RackPilot is warehouse and shop-floor operations software for small and mid-size manufacturers. It handles pallet racking and put-away, goods-in receiving, OEE and downtime, packaging requests, problem-solving and live tablet and TV screens — and it runs offline on a single ordinary PC, with no cloud subscription.
No. RackPilot runs on one PC on your own network; tablets and wall TVs just open a web page pointing at it. It keeps working with the internet unplugged, so there's no monthly cloud bill and no outage when your connection drops.
Yes. RackPilot gives you the core of a warehouse management system — live locations, receiving checks, put-away and dispatch — at a fraction of enterprise WMS cost and without the six-figure automation spend of systems like AutoStore. It's robot-ready, so you can automate later without ripping it out.
Yes. RackPilot natively models drive-in, LIFO and FIFO lanes, tracks the front pallet of every lane and handles stuck pallets — something generic warehouse systems handle poorly.
A single site is typically live in days. Install on one PC, set up racks and products (you can paste a whole sheet at once), and open it on tablets and the wall TV on the same network.
Yes. Standard keyboard-wedge barcode and RF scanners work out of the box, and the job/dispatch queue follows the VDA 5050 pattern so automated trucks and AGVs can take over jobs later.
We'll show RackPilot running a live warehouse and lines, and map it to your site. No slides, no pressure.
