The Winning Is in the WIP™
Shorten lead times, turn cash faster by optimizing WIP, using Ayoka's unique custom software platform that can be rented at a fraction of the cost of other solutions. Connect your people, production processes and business systems to find bottlenecks, recover capacity and get more finished product out the door.
WIP Connects the Shop Floor to the Financial Health of the Business.
WIP is where material, labor and overhead have already gone into production, but the product isn’t finished, shipped or invoiced yet. When you can see where that work is moving, waiting, slowing down or being reworked, you can find the constraints tying up capacity and cash — and get more finished product out the door with the resources you already have.
When work sits in process longer than it should, the impact goes beyond the production schedule. Material, labor, machine time and overhead have already been committed, but that investment has not yet become finished product or revenue. Seeing where WIP is accumulating helps expose the constraints that are slowing flow, consuming capacity and tying up cash.
- Know where capacity is being lost
- Produce more without automatically adding people or equipment
- Shorten lead times and improve on-time delivery
- Quote and schedule with greater confidence
- Catch downtime, quality and flow problems sooner
- Reduce manual reporting and disconnected spreadsheets
- Create capacity to take on more customers and revenue
The order tells you what you promised. The finished product tells you what happened. WIP tells you whether you’re going to win.
Your ERP may know what was ordered. A PLC may know that a machine is running. But WIP shows the partially completed product already moving through production — where material, labor and overhead have been committed but the product has not yet become finished goods. Seeing which jobs are running, what is waiting, where work is slowing down and where WIP is accumulating helps expose the constraints tying up capacity and cash.
What should happen
Demand, quantities, schedules, materials, due dates and customer commitments.
Where the business is won or lost
The real state of production: movement, queues, changeovers, downtime, quality, labor, machines and constraints.
What actually happened
Throughput, lead time, on-time delivery, finished goods, job-costing, timely invoicing and the customer experience.
We connect what is disconnected so you can see the operation, find the constraint and improve the flow.
Ayoka builds and integrates software, automation and AI that connect the machines, PLCs, production systems, business software, data and people involved in manufacturing. We connect what you already have, fill the gaps where needed, and create the operational visibility and workflows that show what is happening in real time — so you can find constraints, automate slow or manual processes, recover capacity and get more finished product out the door.
CONNECT WHAT YOU HAVE
Connect your machines, PLCs, production systems, business software and data so information can move across the operation.
BUILD WHAT’S MISSING
Use software, automation and AI to fill the gaps, automate workflows and give your team the visibility it needs to act.
RENT CUSTOM SOFTWARE
Get the technology you need through a monthly model without a large upfront software investment. Ayoka provides and supports the enabling technology while you retain ownership of your workflow and operational IP.
You don’t need to know which technology you need. Start with the operational problem.
A disconnected PLC. Production status living in spreadsheets. A bottleneck no one can quantify. Manual reporting. Missing WIP visibility. A process that works only because one person knows how to hold it together. Ayoka starts there.
PLC Integration
Connect machine data to the people and systems that need it so production signals become useful operational information.
Explore PLC Integration →Factory Automation
Reduce manual steps, connect processes and make production more consistent, reliable and repeatable.
Explore Factory Automation →B.O.S.S.
Create an operational headquarters for the workflows, visibility and decisions that do not fit neatly inside ERP.

Check your PLC →Connect the operation around the outcome that matters.
The technology changes from plant to plant. The principle does not: understand what is happening operationally, connect the information that matters and make the workflow easier to run.

Tell us what you’re seeing.
You don’t need to arrive with a software specification. Tell us where production is getting stuck, where visibility disappears, where people are doing too much manually or where you believe capacity is being left on the table. We’ll start there.
