Quality you can prove, at the pace you already run.
Your quality system, your documents and the paperwork behind them — running as software instead of a shared drive full of spreadsheets.
- Buy a module at a time. 21 of them, across 6 bundles. Start with the one that cuts.
- Runs where you need it. Hosted, on your own hardware, or both — one isolated stack per customer.
- Sits alongside Epicor. Kinetic stays your system of record; this covers what lives around it.
Core values
Empathy
We start by seeing the problem the way you see it.
Process Approach
Everything is a process, and we help you define yours.
Direct to Solution
When the same issue keeps coming back, we build the fix into the Aware Smith Platform.
Industries
You make things, and Kinetic is your system of record.
The shop-floor lane: quality, traceability and the paperwork that follows the part.
What you get
Your quality system moves off the shared drive into something an auditor can follow — and Kinetic stays exactly where it is.
- Controlled copies come out watermarked, stamped DRAFT until the revision is approved
- Audits, calibrations and reviews reschedule themselves, with a record of what did not happen
- Reports and labels pull live from your BAQs, so nobody types the data twice
You hold AS9100, or you're chasing a CMMC score.
The certification lane: several auditors, one set of evidence.
What you get
One evidence trail that satisfies more than one auditor — the controls cross-reference each other instead of sitting in separate binders.
- AS9102 first article inspections, with failed FAIs raising nonconformances automatically
- All 110 NIST 800-171 practices scored, POA&M items wired into corrective action
- Crosswalk credit between 800-171 and ISO 27001 Annex A — 46 mapped control pairs
You move goods, and you need to know where they are.
The movement lane: what's on the rack, what shipped, what it was labeled with.
What you get
Every tag, zone and pallet accounted for — and labels that come off the printer right the first time.
- Handheld and fixed-portal reads across inventory, job and shipping zones
- ZPL templates with merge fields, delivered to the printer with proof of print
- PCID actions post receive, move and ship into Epicor when Kinetic API Connect is owned
You sell expertise, and your proof is your paperwork.
The credibility lane: the certifications clients ask for, without a full-time binder keeper.
What you get
The certifications your clients ask for, maintained by the system instead of by someone's calendar reminder.
- 93 Annex A controls with a living Statement of Applicability
- Time captured against projects and pushed to Clockify, Teamwork or Epicor
- Every document access logged, with retention notices before records fall out of policy
Good for any business
Backups, security and archiving work the same whatever you do. Add them to any setup.
Built to sit alongside Epicor Kinetic, not to replace it. Kinetic stays your system of record. These modules cover the work that currently lives in spreadsheets, shared drives and binders around it — and where it makes sense, they read from and write back to your ERP.
One front door
Single sign-on with MFA across every module you own.
Per-module licensing
Buy the modules you need. The rest simply aren't there.
Platform-wide audit
Every request logged — one trail across all modules.
Cloud or on-prem
One isolated stack per customer, hosted or on your own hardware. Air-gapped deployment is in development.
All 21 modules
The whole catalog, grouped by what each one does.
