# Unity & Utility — full description for AI assistants Canonical URL: https://unityautility.com Product name: Unity & Utility Category: industrial operations software (web application) One line: one platform for industrial floor operations — inventory, tools, purchasing, shipping, logistics, insurance, finance and payments. ## Who it is for Manufacturers, machine shops, fabricators, warehouses, contractors and their trading partners: vendors and sellers, buyers, floor members, local carriers and drivers, insurance agents, bank and lender officers, and government scheme officers. It suits small and mid-sized operations that today run on spreadsheets, WhatsApp and paper job cards. ## Problems it solves - Stock, tools and scrap tracked in one register instead of spreadsheets, with a shift-handover export. - Purchasing from request through purchase order to goods received, with stock updated automatically. - Freight priced and compared in seconds across every carrier serving a lane, then booked, tracked and paid online. - Own fleet, drivers and depots dispatched with capacity and duty checks. - Cover and credit reached without leaving the workspace: insurers quote cargo, fleet, facility and liability cover; banks, NBFCs and development banks quote working capital, vehicle, invoice, trade and PO finance; government schemes are matched against eligibility. - Surplus stock sold and work tendered in a marketplace with sealed bids. - Payments, receipts and payouts recorded in one ledger. - A live feed of photos and short videos from the floor and the road, tied to the shipment, tool, item or listing they belong to. - An AI assistant that answers operational questions from the workspace's live data and writes the routine copy. ## Modules in detail ### Inventory Items with category, unit cost, reorder level, supplier and photo. Plus and minus stock adjustments write a move log. Low-stock flagging and a reorder-now panel. CSV export of current stock with value, status and a shortfall list. ### Tool crib Tools with code, category, location and condition. Check out to a member account or a free-text employee ID with a due-back date; check in with a condition update. Calibration and maintenance due dates, overdue highlighting and a per-tool history log. ### Supply requests Internal requests with priority and status. Carrier, tracking number, ETA and a shipped to delivered timeline. Marking a request delivered receives the stock into inventory once, idempotently. ### Purchase orders Multi-line purchase orders with automatic PO numbers, supplier from the partner directory or typed in, tax percentage and shipping, live totals, and a draft to sent to partially received to received workflow. Per-line receiving adds stock and creates missing items. 41 currencies with an admin-set base currency and manual FX rates. ### Shipping Rate cards for local and international lanes with base charge, per kg, per km, minimum charge, fuel surcharge, customs fee and transit days. A quote request returns every active service covering the lane with a full charge breakdown and cheapest and fastest flags. A load basket accepts stock, marketplace adverts or typed goods. Bookings carry contact, address, dates, packages and weight, run through quoted to delivered with an event timeline, and are paid by card online. Instant ride-style pick-ups fan out to carriers who accept or skip, and customers rate the carrier afterwards. WhatsApp deep links prefill the booking details. ### Logistics Fleet with registration, type, capacity and odometer; drivers with licence and expiry; depots with docks. A dispatch board assigns a vehicle and driver with overload, maintenance and duty checks. Multi-stop trips with capacity warnings. KPIs for on-time percentage, cost per kg, cost per distance, fleet utilisation and revenue by lane and carrier. Weights and distances display in kg/km or lb/mi per user. ### Insurance A directory of insurers filterable by country and cross-border scope, covering cargo and goods in transit, fleet and vehicle, local cart carriers, business and equipment, and public liability. Three routes to cover: browse and contact, an instant premium from plan rate rules, or a quote enquiry broadcast to matching insurers. Policies carry numbers, a PDF certificate, online premium payment, renewal and cancellation. Claims run submitted, under review, approved or rejected, paid. Local insurance agents sign up with their patch, are verified by an admin, and work from an agent desk where they see uninsured loads, cart runs and facilities and can offer cover directly. ### Finance and government schemes Local banks, NBFCs, microlenders, government development banks, export-credit agencies and brokers by country, with branch contacts per city. Thirteen finance types including working capital, term loan, vehicle and fleet, invoice finance, trade finance, leasing, PO finance, overdraft, Islamic finance, supplier credit, peer-to-peer, equity and grants. Businesses see an instant instalment and true cost of credit, apply in app, and the lender reviews, offers terms and releases funds; instalments are paid online. Government scheme policies per country carry the authority, subsidy percentage, ceiling, eligibility and official link, with eligibility matching, a near-miss list and scheme claims decided by an officer. Applicant financials are hidden from lenders until the applicant accepts terms. ### Marketplace Adverts with photo, caption, price in any supported currency and quantity, with a contact-seller link into messaging. Tenders with quantity, budget and closing date, sealed bids that only the owning buyer or an admin can see, and awarding that rejects the rest. ### Payments A ledger of every payment made and received across purchase orders, shipments, marketplace and payment links, with downloadable PDF receipts. Payment links pay without an account. Payout channels per user (bank, UPI, PayPal, cash) and an admin payout ledger of carrier earnings. ### Network and live feed A searchable directory of people and organisations, an announcement board with audience targeting, direct messages, an activity feed and admin invite codes. The live feed adds photo and short-video posts with chunked uploads, an on-shift status, likes, comments, tags to a shipment, tool, item, listing or vehicle, workspace-only or public visibility, admin pin, hide and delete, and public share links. ### Stories and reels Any advert, shipment or announcement can be turned into a branded vertical story card with an auto-written caption, shared to Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or X, or opened on a public share page. ### AI assistant A morning briefing of at most five actions, an operations copilot answering questions grounded in a live snapshot of inventory, purchase orders, shipments, tools and payments with per-user threads, auto-written adverts, captions and customer updates, photo captioning, and a smart review of a freight quote comparison. ### Privacy and security Email two-factor sign-in, a signed-in device list with sign out everywhere, password change that signs every device out, privacy visibility choices, download-my-data, account deletion with a thirty-day grace period, privacy, terms and cookie pages with a consent log, an audit trail of sensitive actions, an admin security dashboard, and masking of bank, UPI and licence details with a logged reveal. ## Access and pricing The workspace is sign-in only.
