Our story

We build for the people
who actually build things.

Offsight started because the software sold to factories was never designed for manufacturers whose workflow changes from project to project.

  • San Francisco, California
  • On factory floors since 2014
  • Built with the industry, not at it

Why we built Offsight

It started on other people’s shop floors.

Offsight grew out of the years our founders, Vikas Murali and Andrew Xue, spent in Design for Manufacturing and Assembly.

Sophisticated companies delivering complex commercial projects were still running the shop floor out of spreadsheets and platforms bent into a shape they were never built for.

The reason was structural: the tools on the market assumed a fixed production line making the same thing forever.

What changed

From proving the build to running the factory.

For years, Offsight was best known as the way a factory documented its work: quality inspections, production tracking, the reports an owner or a third-party inspector needed.

A modular home, an electrical room, a bathroom pod, a wall panel, a switchgear assembly.

  • Then: digital travelers, checklists and conformance records that replaced the paper shuffle for off-site construction and modular plants.
  • Next: materials, labor, planning, logistics, machines and analytics.
  • Now: a full manufacturing execution system with AI as its backbone, for engineered-to-order manufacturing of every kind.
  • Always: the same principle, the record is finished when the unit is finished, not retyped at the end of the shift.

Where we stand on AI

AI should be the brain of the factory.
Not a chat bubble bolted to the corner.

Most manufacturing software added an assistant that can describe the data it is sitting on.

It sets the system up

Point it at the drawings, travelers, SOPs and spreadsheets you already have.

It takes action

Re-sequencing the floor, raising a purchase order, flagging a quality trend, updating a schedule.

It stands next to the operator

The Offsight AI Assistant turns the mandatory data entry an MES depends on into a conversation, so the person building the unit spends their shift building it.

It reaches the whole business

Because it works across production, materials, labor, planning and documents at once, it can answer questions no single point solution can.

It stays on the record

Every session is auditable and reviewable, and changes are visible before they commit.

It plugs into what you run

NetSuite and QuickBooks for materials, suppliers, purchase orders and invoices.

Who we build for

Factories where every job is a little different.

If your plant makes the same widget a million times a year, plenty of software already serves you well.

Modular and off-site construction

Volumetric modules, bathroom and kitchen pods, panels, cassettes and components.

Prefab arms of contractors

General contractors running self-perform prefab, and specialty and MEP contractors feeding their own job sites from a shop.

Electrical equipment manufacturers

Switchgear, e-houses, electrical rooms and modular electrical products, built to order against a project schedule.

Engineered-to-order manufacturing

Anyone building to a drawing package rather than a catalog number.

Multi-plant operators

Groups running several facilities that need one live picture across all of them, with per-plant permissions underneath it.

Teams coming off spreadsheets

Plants that have outgrown the workbook, the whiteboard and four disconnected point solutions, and do not want a six-month implementation to replace them.

What we believe

Building better, greener, more affordable.

More of every project will be built in a controlled environment.

Less material ends up as waste when the work happens indoors under a process.

It is our mission to empower the people who are.

How we work

Built by the industry, on purpose.

Every feature in Offsight started as something a real plant asked for.

  • The floor is the hardest user. If an operator at a station will not use it with gloves on, it does not ship.
  • One system, not a suite. Production, materials, labor, planning, quality and documents share one data model.
  • Setup should take days. A configuration project that outlives the problem it was meant to solve is a failure, not an implementation.
  • Real time or it is not true. The console, the iPhone and the Android tablet stay in step over live sockets.
  • Your terminology, not ours. The system adapts to what your industry calls things.
  • Priced by the plan, not by the head. Each plan is flat for the plan with users included, and Enterprise puts the whole factory on it. Charging per person is a tax on adoption, and an MES only works when everyone is on it.

Where we are going

A factory that runs itself, with people in charge of it.

The next few years of manufacturing software are not about better dashboards.

We would rather show you than describe it.

  • More of the setup handled by the AI, from more of the documents a plant already has.
  • More of the day handled autonomously.
  • More systems connected out of the box, so the shop floor stops being an island.
  • The same product for every kind of engineered-to-order manufacturing, not just construction.
