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.
