    The problem

    Light manufacturers run on tight margins. Inventory errors kill them.

    You're not running a Fortune 500 factory. You can't absorb the cost of ERP complexity — or the cost of getting inventory wrong.

    01

    Ghost inventory

    Your system says stock exists. Your floor doesn't. Counting discrepancies between your system and reality cause missed shipments, duplicate orders, and frustrated customers.

    02

    Reactive reordering

    You discover you're out of a critical component when a job is already delayed. There's no system warning you 2 weeks ahead when stock crosses a threshold.

    03

    Disconnected tools

    Your QuickBooks doesn't talk to your inventory. Your inventory doesn't talk to your job scheduler. Every handoff is manual, and every manual step is a chance for error.

    04

    ERP sticker shock

    You've looked at the big systems. Six-figure implementations, 18-month rollouts, dedicated IT staff. Built for enterprises, priced for enterprises — useless for teams under 150 people.

    The solution

    AI-native inventory intelligence built for your scale.

    Not watered-down ERP. Not a glorified spreadsheet. AssetBlaze is a purpose-built intelligence layer that sits between your operations and your business data.

    Up and running in an afternoon.

    No IT consultants. No 18-month rollout. No six-figure implementation fee.

    1

    Import your inventory

    Upload a spreadsheet or connect directly. AssetBlaze maps your SKUs, categories, and locations automatically.

    2

    Set your thresholds

    Define reorder points per SKU. The AI learns your consumption patterns and suggests adjustments over time.

    3

    Connect your tools

    Plug into QuickBooks, your job scheduler, or any system via our REST API. Most integrations take under 30 minutes.

    4

    Let AI watch the floor

    AssetBlaze monitors stock levels 24/7 and alerts you — and your automations — before problems become delays.

    How we compare

    The right tool for your scale.

    Not built for Fortune 500. Not a basic spreadsheet. AssetBlaze hits the sweet spot for 1-150 person manufacturers.

    What customers say

    Manufacturers who made the switch.

    We were running on gut feel and spreadsheets. AssetBlaze gave us actual visibility in a day. The reorder alerts alone paid for the first year in the first quarter.

    We looked at NetSuite. The implementation quote was more than our annual revenue. AssetBlaze had us live in an afternoon and cost less than our coffee budget.

    The API integration with our job scheduler took 20 minutes. Now when a job gets scheduled, inventory is automatically allocated. Zero manual steps.
