Simple Process

What happens next

From your first enquiry to a professional report in hand — here's exactly what to expect.

Step 1

Book a 30-min discovery call

Tell us about your site, your headcount, and what's frustrating you most. We'll confirm whether Ardmor is the right fit and schedule your visit — usually within the week.

Step 2

We visit your floor

Our team arrives with our AI-assisted audit app and spends 2–4 hours on your site. We assess every operational category and deliver your professional report within 24 hours.

Step 3

You leave with a plan

Report within 24 hours. A clear prioritised list of what needs fixing, in the order an inspector would see it — and the full $1,800 fee is credited against your subscription if you subscribe.

The Reality on Most Factory Floors

Your business is running on people, not systems

When experienced workers leave, retire, or take leave — the business either grinds to a halt or loses years of institutional knowledge overnight. Sound familiar?

Operational knowledge lives in people's heads — not in documented systems

No documented procedures. Verbal training only. Knowledge walks out the door

Maintenance managed reactively — breakdowns happen, schedules don't exist

Management has no real-time visibility into what's happening on the floor

Paper-based or non-existent safety and compliance records

Quality varies depending on who's working — no consistent standard

There are approximately 14,000 small manufacturers in Victoria. Almost none have a structured operational system in place.

Specific Results

What you can expect after we're done

Not vague promises. Specific, measurable outcomes based on what we implement on your floor.

Real-World Impact

What it's actually worth to your business

Proprietary Technology

Why our manufacturing operations consulting works differently

Two purpose-built tools give Ardmor a structural advantage: one guides our team during every audit, the other keeps your clients informed 24/7.

Ardmor Audit App
Deployed on tablet · Used during every site visit

Our field team uses a proprietary AI-assisted assessment application during every on-site visit. It guides structured assessments across 8 operational categories, generates AI suggestions in real time, and produces a professional dual-format PDF report before we leave the building.

  • 25–60 structured questions per engagement
  • AI suggestions mapped to Australian manufacturing tools
  • Photo, voice, and field note capture during visit
  • Dual PDF report delivered within 24 hours — client copy + working doc
  • Digital signature captured before leaving
  • Self-learning solution library from real engagements

Why Ardmor Wins

30 years of combined floor experience

Two operators. 30 years of combined Victorian manufacturing experience. Our founder has 10+ years as a Production Manager. Our QA and systems specialist brings 20 years in quality assurance, safety, and operational systems. Not consultants who read about factories — people who ran them.

From the floor

We were running on tribal knowledge — no documented SOPs, verbal training, and our maintenance schedule lived in my head. Taylor walked our floor and mapped out every gap clearly. We had a prioritised action plan within 24 hours and immediately knew where to focus. The Hub keeps us honest and on track now.

I'm outside Australia — can I use the Hub?
Yes. The self-serve Hub works worldwide — sign up free at ardmor.online, pick your country during setup, and the platform adapts: AI-generated documents reference your local workplace-safety framework rather than Australian law, and safety guidance uses your local emergency number. Prices are in AUD (billed securely via Stripe, which handles currency conversion). On-site services (assessments, Managed Safety) are currently available in Victoria, Australia.
