TOIVIYOUR OPERATION, IN CONTEXT
AN EXAMPLE ANSWER
Start with the work that is waiting.
A production run needs a material check. A delivery is still waiting for its packing review. Open the source records to see what is holding them up.

TASTY FOODS / ANTWERP, BELGIUM
ControlGrid grew inside a working food manufacturer and distributor. Real production weeks. Real shop deliveries. Real people who need the numbers to make sense.
That daily use still shapes the product: work that saves itself, stock that shows what is already promised, and a next step people can actually find.
On the floor On the route In the office
ALWAYS MOVING FORWARD
The system keeps getting stronger.
A production week that follows your factory.
Keep the plan, the day of work and the amount actually made together, with a working week that fits the business and a printable sheet for the floor.
Live · Production planningTurn customer needs into a clear supplier order.
Products you buy in and send straight out now have their own purchasing flow, with supplier totals and packing instructions for each customer.
Live · Supplier ordersSee what is held, promised and still available.
Finished-goods stock now includes commitments from approved weekly preparation as well as open orders, so the office sees what is promised before all the paperwork exists.
Live · Stock controlA FEW STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Good questions.
Clear answers.
A serious decision deserves more than a beautiful website.
Talk to a real personIs ControlGrid right for my business?
ControlGrid is built for businesses that make or distribute physical goods: food producers, factories, wholesalers and retail suppliers. The first conversation is about your products, your team and where work gets stuck. We will be clear about what fits and what still needs work.
Is this a real product or a concept?
The product is real and used in daily operations at Tasty Foods in Antwerp. The interactive workspaces on this website are illustrations with sample data, not live company records. In a demo, we show you the working product and its current capabilities.
Can we start using it straight away?
New company workspaces are in a controlled rollout. Start with a live demo: we review fit, required connections and onboarding together. This is not an instant self-service signup, and there is no promise of an immediate go-live date.
Do we have to change everything at once?
No. We can start the discussion with one part of your operation and plan the rollout around it. Company and product settings cover differences such as goods you make or buy, stock you hold or do not hold, production weeks and how returns are treated.
What can the assistant do without our approval?
The assistant can look up permitted records, explain information and prepare supported changes. Those proposed changes are shown to a person for review before they are saved. External connections and automated background jobs have their own setup and permissions; the assistant is not a promise of an autonomous business.
What about our existing tools and accounting?
ControlGrid has connections for communication, banking, documents and e-invoicing. Availability depends on your provider, account access and configuration. Invoicing and financial connections need a deliberate setup and review before live use. We confirm that scope with you in the demo.
