Software for the people who keep the plant running.
Zylair builds small, sharp web apps for engineering, maintenance and stores teams in manufacturing. One job each. Sold on their own. Built so a fitter in gloves can use them standing next to a broken machine.
Not a platform. Not a suite. A set of apps that kill spreadsheets.
Zylair is a UK software company building practical tools for engineering departments and stores in industrial businesses. Every app is bought on its own, on its own domain, and works on day one without an implementation project.
The rule we build to: if an engineer can't use it one-handed, in gloves, standing next to a broken machine, it isn't finished. That single constraint decides most of what we leave out.
Each app does exactly one thing. Parts requests. Tool loans. PPE tracking. Not a platform trying to do everything badly.
If a fitter can't raise a request one-handed, standing next to a broken machine, it isn't finished. That constraint shapes every decision.
Open it and it works. No implementation project, no consultant, no six-week onboarding. A site can be set up in an afternoon.
Nobody can answer a simple question: was the part actually ordered?
PartsRequester
Parts, tools and PPE requests for manufacturing and industrial sites. Engineers raise a request from their phone in under a minute. Stores and managers get one place to track every request from submission through to delivery, with full visibility on what's critical, what's stale, what's on order and what's overdue.
