How Arda works, in three steps. The walkthrough plays automatically. Pause it or use the timer bars below the captions to jump to any step. Step 1, scan any code: a phone held in one hand moves along a shop shelf and scans four items, each with a different kind of code. It reads the Arda Kanban card on a two-bin bin of M8 hex bolts from McMaster-Carr, the Data Matrix on a bottle of tapping fluid from Grainger, the UPC on a box of nitrile gloves from Amazon, and the QR code on an M12 connector bag from Grainger. Each scan adds the item to the cart. Step 2, build your cart: a tap on Cart sends all four scanned items to Arda's shopping cart, grouped by vendor. McMaster-Carr takes orders by email, Grainger by purchase order and Amazon online. Step 3, one-click orders: one click on each vendor's Order All sends that vendor's order. Arda writes the email to McMaster-Carr, fills in purchase order 4471 for Grainger with its payment and shipping terms, and fills the Amazon cart, ready to check out. Each vendor's group then shows Ordered and leaves the cart.

How Arda fits

Where Arda fits next to MRP, ERP, and spreadsheets

Arda works differently from spreadsheets, whiteboards, and traditional systems because the reorder signal lives at the point of use.

Simple Steps to Better Inventory

Start with the supplies that keep interrupting work. Get the routine working, then add more.

Start with what keeps stopping you
Choose recurring parts. Add item and supplier details, reorder points and order quantities.
Give the team a clear signal
Print cards and place them at reorder points in front of reserve stock. Agree who pulls and scans them.
Build a routine you can follow
Purchasing reviews requests and places orders. Receive deliveries, return cards with the stock, and review the routine before expanding.

Avoid costly stockouts and regain control of your inventory.

In manufacturing, missing parts can grind production to a halt, causing frustration and loss of confidence in your operations.

Arda combines physical Kanban cards with software so your team can signal when supplies reach their reorder point. Purchasing reviews those requests in a queue grouped by supplier, places orders and receives the restock. Start with a manageable group of parts and get the routine working before you expand.
