Frontline Operations Platform (Next Gen MES)
Tulip is helping companies around the world equip their frontline operations workforce with connected apps– leading to higher quality work, improved efficiency, and end-to-end traceability across operations.
Manufacturers and those in industrial operations are looking for ways to improve their resilience and agility, while minimising costs.
Paper-based processes introduce inefficiencies and error and make it impossible to visualise production.
Legacy MESs are expensive, rigid, and time-consuming to implement and update.
With Tulip’s cloud-based platform, operations technology teams and those closest to operations can take advantage of composability and edge connectivity to digitally transform processes, guide operators, track production, and gain a real-time, holistic view of operations.
Tulip’s platform is enterprise and GxP ready. Companies of all sizes and across industries, including complex manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices have leveraged Tulip to transform their operations.
Tulip provides app starting points based on industry best practices that are completely configurable with no-code app editing and logic.
Unlike other players in the market, Tulip is human-centric, cloud-native, fully no-code/low-code, and can integrate easily with other systems.
