Stop losing production knowledge when people leave
StepLinq turns tribal knowledge into visual, step-by-step work instructions. Offline desktop software — documented in hours, not weeks.
Built by a production manager for production managers. Used in precision electronics assembly, automotive component manufacturing, and pharma equipment production.
The Problem
Knowledge locked in people's heads
- Assembly steps exist only in experienced workers' heads
- New hires take weeks to become productive
- Quality errors repeat because there's no standard reference
- Auditors ask for documented procedures that don't exist
StepLinq solves this
Documented, visual, accessible
- Capture every step with photos, once — reuse forever
- New operators follow visual guides from day one
- Digital sign-off workflow catches deviations before they ship
- Export ISO-ready PDF documentation at any time
Features
Everything your team needs
Step Editor
Drag-and-drop interface to build photo-based instructions step by step. Add annotations, warnings, and quality checkpoints.
Offline-First
Runs on SQLite locally. No cloud, no internet required. Works on factory floors with no Wi-Fi or restricted networks.
QR Scan Access
Each instruction gets a unique QR code. Print it, stick it on the workstation. Operators scan to access the live instruction — no login required.
Approval Workflow
Engineers submit drafts. QA reviews, comments, and approves. Approved versions are frozen and auto-published to the floor. Every change is logged.

HONEST FIT
StepLinq is not for everyone
StepLinq is built for small and mid-size manufacturers who need to document assembly processes and get them to the floor fast. It is probably not the right fit if:
You need MES integration or ERP connectivity
StepLinq is a standalone tool. It does not connect to SAP, Oracle, or other enterprise systems.
You need cloud-based collaboration across multiple sites
StepLinq runs on your local network. Each site needs its own installation.
You have an IT department that manages digital work instruction platforms
StepLinq is built for teams that don't have dedicated IT support for this.
If your team is 20-150 people, you document assemblies on paper or in Word, and you want something that works offline without an IT project — StepLinq was built exactly for you.
