Why “Takt”
Takt time is the heartbeat of a lean line, the steady pace that keeps production matched to demand. A machine down for maintenance, a tank of bad coolant, a tool that drifted out of spec: each one breaks that rhythm. TaktFlow exists to protect it.
Our mission
Most maintenance software is built for big plants with a dedicated reliability department. Precision machine shops run differently: a handful of people wearing every hat, machines that have to hold tenths, and maintenance records that need to survive an audit. TaktFlow is built for that shop: the maintenance, coolant, and tooling system a CNC floor actually uses, without the enterprise overhead.
What we believe
- The floor has to use it. If it takes a login and five taps to log a check, it won’t get logged. Scan a QR code and go.
- Records are evidence. Completions are attested and versioned, and nothing is deleted, only voided with a reason. The trail holds up.
- Price for the real buyer. A five-person shop shouldn’t pay enterprise rates for the features that make it a machine shop.
Who’s behind this
I’m Jacob Rosenberry. I built TaktFlow because I kept watching shops track machine maintenance, coolant, and tooling on whiteboards, sticky notes, and spreadsheets that only one person understood, and then scramble when an auditor asked for records that were never really kept. Every “enterprise” CMMS I looked at was built for a plant with a reliability department, not a shop where the same five people run the floor, fix the machines, and answer for the paperwork. TaktFlow is what I wanted for that shop.
It’s early. I’m building this myself, and I read every support email personally. If something’s missing or broken, tell me and I’ll fix it.
