Industries
One platform for every frontline floor.
The work looks different in a plant, a warehouse, a job site, and a kitchen. The problem is the same: paper, point tools, and updates that never reach the floor. UnDesked consolidates and digitizes it all, for whatever your team does and whatever language they read.
Built multilingual, so the work reaches every worker in the language they read.
Twelve industries. One way of working.
Manufacturing is the floor we were built for and the lens for everything here. The same platform runs the eleven beside it. Pick one to see the fit, the roles, the use cases, and the workflows it runs.
The use cases change. The platform does not.
A near-miss in a plant, a pre-trip in a yard, a room check in a hotel. Different floors, same machinery underneath: building blocks stacked into workflows, delivered to whatever device the worker has.
Building blocks
Forms, media, tests, uploads, agreements

Sequenced, triggered, and tracked

Kiosk, tablet, mobile, signage, QR, SMS
That is why one subscription covers safety, quality, training, maintenance, communications, and HR, in any industry. See the full platform →

Twelve industry pages, collapsed into one. For each: the roles, a deep list of common use cases, two workflows it runs on UnDesked, and the tools and paper it retires. Click an industry to see it.

The supercharger
Now, in every worker's language.
Across every one of these industries, the floor is getting more multilingual. UnDesked authors each workflow once and delivers it in each worker's language, automatically, in 210+ languages. A hazard reported in Spanish that the supervisor reads in English. A checklist a new hire understands on day one.
Works for an English-only floor. Becomes essential the moment your workforce is multilingual, where a missed instruction is a missed step, or a missed hazard.
