Every kit.
COMPONENT CHECKING, BUILT AROUND THE JOB
Every kit.
The right parts.
Describe which components each kit needs in plain English. KitProof automatically builds its checklist from the order options, then checks each scan against the expected parts and quantities.
Free for real production at one station. While SmartFACT is in early access, we set your first workflow up with you.
Approved rules build each checklist exactly as written, and never mark a kit as checked.
BUILT AROUND YOUR KNOWLEDGE
For manufacturers and assemblers preparing accessory, installation and service kits.
AUTOMATION FROM PLAIN ENGLISH
From a plain English rule to every kit’s checklist.
Tell SmartFACT when an approved component is required. Check the proposed rule against example kits and approve it. KitProof then applies the rule automatically to order options, builds each kit’s component requirements and checks scans against that checklist. Your team defines the components and quantities; the software handles the repeated selection and checking.

FROM KNOWLEDGE TO A WORKING PROCESS
The awkward part is knowing what belongs in this kit.
Mounting, finish and customer options can change the parts in every kit. Explain those conditions once and approve the examples. KitProof then selects the requirements automatically, so the operator can scan the parts without first deciding what belongs in the kit.
Automate the checklist
Describe the component conditions in plain English and approve the examples. Rules and component tables then build the requirements for each kit automatically.
Check each kit
Scan labelled components against the frozen checklist and retain an individual completion record.
THE SERVICE
Describe the rules. Build each checklist automatically. Check the kit.
Automatically generated requirements
Rules select components and quantities from the order options. Preview the generated checklist before checking begins.
A familiar scanning workflow
Works with scanners that type as a keyboard, or the device camera. Wrong or unexpected identifiers stay visible instead of filling the next available line.
Each kit stands on its own
An order for several kits creates separate checks. Scans for one kit never satisfy another.
Changes with a history
Keep the requirements that were actually used. A later order or rule change triggers a review and never rewrites completed work.
Explicit exceptions
Approved alternatives and supervised exceptions are recorded. Completion with exceptions stays distinct from verification.
Useful records, ready to export
Find a kit by its job reference and retrieve the requirements, accepted evidence and decisions behind its result.
IS IT A FIT?
Start with one
clear workflow.
A good starting point
- You already have identifiable jobs and structured order options.
- Your component types can be distinguished by their labels.
- You want a checking layer alongside your existing factory software.
Scope
- No stock ledger or shipping system.
- No photo or vision-based proof of physical contents.
- No offline checking or automatic machine control.
WORKS WITH
What KitProof exchanges,
and what it keeps.
Takes data from
- Job and option files from a CSV export in its import template
- Reviewed job files delivered by SmartFACT Data
Sends data to
- Verification history, kept in KitProof
- Nothing to another SmartFACT product: a link is agreed at onboarding if your workflow needs one
Does not exchange with
- Your order software or ERP: no native connector, and a paid integration only through data.smartfact.ai
- Stock ledgers and shipping systems
- OrderRun, WorkSteps or StoresFlow, unless agreed at onboarding
Every SmartFACT product keeps its own records. A link between two products is used only when your organisation has both, and is agreed at onboarding.
How the SmartFACT products work together →BEFORE YOU START
A few useful answers.
How do we start?
Send us a short description of your workflow. While SmartFACT is in early access, we review the fit, enable your organisation through SmartFACT Accounts and set your first kit checks up with you, free. Submitting the form does not create an account by itself, and no payment is taken.
What does KitProof automate?
Approved rules generate the component checklist for each configured kit. The station then matches scans against its expected identifiers and quantities and identifies missing or unexpected parts. People still assemble the kit, scan its components and authorise any permitted exceptions.
Do I have to replace my order software?
No. KitProof works alongside it, starting from a CSV export in its import template or a ConfigSheets feed from data.smartfact.ai. KitProof has no native ERP connector: connecting an ERP is a paid integration that we scope with you and build through data.smartfact.ai. Tell us about the system at https://data.smartfact.ai/integration-enquiry.
Which scanners does it support?
Barcode scanners that type as a keyboard, at a handheld or scan station, and the device camera where you allow it. Check your scanner with ScannerBench first: it shows exactly what your scanner sends. Scanner set-up guides, each written from the maker’s own documents, are at https://help.smartfact.ai/manuals/hardware.
Does a scan prove the item is in the box?
No. The record shows that the required identifiers and other permitted evidence were supplied. It does not prove physical contents or stop someone scanning an item without packing it.
How much does it cost?
Nothing to start: the free tier covers real production at one station. You pay when your use passes the tier’s thresholds, or when you want support or development from us. There is no payment on this website.
How is SmartFACT involved?
SmartFACT turns an author's plain English description into a proposed condition over known order fields. People review and publish the configuration, and live checking uses the approved version without calling a model.
A PRACTICAL STARTING POINT
Explore your use case.
01
What is kitting in manufacturing?
Kitting in manufacturing gathers every part a job needs into one kit before assembly, so wrong or missing parts are caught early. See how KitProof checks kits.
02How to stop wrong parts going into a kit
To stop wrong parts going into a kit, check each part against the kit’s list as it is added. See how KitProof refuses a wrong scan before the part counts.
03Kitting software for manufacturing: a checked kit for every order
Kitting software for manufacturing works out which parts each kit needs from the order and checks every part at the bench. See how KitProof builds the checklist.
04Configure-to-order kitting: a checked kit list for every order’s options
Configure-to-order kitting builds each kit after the order, from the options chosen. See how KitProof turns options into a checked component list.
