Badges are hidden
What is live in the copy, and what is still a draft.
Drafted 10 October 2026. Public pages state product behaviour as it will ship. This page is noindex and is not in the sitemap. Placeholder badges are only for the rows that are still drafts.
Must ship before public launch
These four are written on the public site as live features. They are not in the shipping app yet. There is no public Placeholder badge. Do not launch the marketing site as final until each one is true at iot.factoraerp.com.
| Id | Feature | Wording on the public site | What has to be true |
|---|---|---|---|
| alert-channels | WhatsApp, SMS and email alerts | Alerts go out on WhatsApp, SMS and email, and they escalate if the person on shift does not take them. | Ship WhatsApp, SMS and email delivery with escalation before public launch. Send a test to a Kenyan handset and record the sender ID. |
| work-order | Alarm opens a work order | An alarm opens a maintenance work order on its own, assigned to the shift, instead of waiting for someone to retype it. | Ship automatic work-order creation from an alarm before public launch. Maintenance work orders, the calendar, plans, MTBF and cost already exist; this flag is only the automatic step from the alarm. |
| batch | Batch temperature record and PDF | Temperature records stay on the batch that was in the room, and the plant can produce a PDF compliance report from them. | Ship batch-linked temperature records and the PDF compliance report before public launch. Production batch traceability (planned, produced, good, reject, downtime Pareto, production events) already exists; this flag is the temperature history and the PDF. |
| cost | Cost on the batch | Spoilage, energy and downtime land on the batch in finance, in the same record as the lot. | Ship cost and finance linked to the batch before public launch. Maintenance cost as a maintenance figure already exists; this flag is the finance link onto the batch. |
Still placeholder
These are still drafts. A public Placeholder badge appears only when the site is built with PUBLIC_SHOW_PLACEHOLDERS=true. The production default hides that badge, and it hides the placeholder WhatsApp number. Prices stay on the page either way. Email, address, PLC brands, gateway make and model, support hours, and hosting region are in this list.
| Id | Label | Wording on the site | How to confirm |
|---|---|---|---|
| plc | PLC brands | The connector list includes PLC. No brand is named until a unit of that brand has been read. | Record model, protocol and the node or register map after a real read. Do not publish a logo before that. |
| hardware | Gateway make and model | Make, model, radio, enclosure and who owns the gateway are not published. Buffering when the cloud link drops is separate, and that behaviour is in the app. | Name the SKU, radio, enclosure, power, SIM owner, and whether hardware is sold, rented or customer-supplied. |
| install | Who installs | Who comes to site, in which counties, and how long a four-probe cold room takes are not published. | Confirm who installs, the counties covered, and what the plant must prepare. |
| support | Support hours | Support is from the FactoraERP team in Kenya. The hours, and which channel answers a 2am cold-room alert, are not published. | Publish hours and the channel that is answered, including a 2am cold-room alert versus a billing question. |
| pricing | Example prices | Draft software fees for discussion, inside the usual USD 30–250 per device per month band for this category. Not a quotation. Tiers are example fees, not a signed feature matrix. | Replace with the signed price list. Keep shillings and dollars together, and define what counts as a device. |
| billing | Billing term | Figures are shown per month. Whether a plant is billed monthly, annually or per site is not confirmed. | Confirm invoice currency, term, what an offline probe costs, and the notice period. |
| fx | Display exchange rate | USD figures are shown against a round rate of 129 Kenya shillings. This is not a live foreign-exchange feed. | Use the rate finance wants on the quotation, or bill in one currency only. |
| Public email | hello@factoraiot.com | Replace with a mailbox that is monitored. The contact form and the mailto fallback both use it. | |
| WhatsApp number | +254 700 000 000 | Replace with the real FactoraERP IoT WhatsApp number. Digits only, country code, no plus, in whatsappE164. | |
| address | Street address | Street address not confirmed | Publish a real Nairobi address, or keep the country line only. Do not invent a building. |
| certifications | Certifications | No KEPHIS, KEBS, ISO, SOC or GDP certificate is claimed for FactoraERP IoT. | If a certificate exists, publish the name, number, scope and date. Until then this stays a non-claim. |
| uptime | Uptime | No uptime percentage is published, and no public status feed is connected. | Connect a status provider, or publish a measured figure with the window it covers. Do not invent a nines number. |
| hosting | Hosting region | The host, the region, and whether an on-premise option exists are not confirmed for the IoT app. | Name the provider and region. Say whether readings live in the same FactoraERP tenant the plant already has. |

Hardware lines
- Store-and-forward. Verified in the app: when the cloud connection drops, readings stay on the gateway and sync later. Buffered count, Sync now, Pause sync. Not a published battery or a named model.
- Gateway make and model. Make, model, radio, power draw and enclosure — to confirm
- Temperature probes. Count per kit, accuracy, cable length, food-safe sheath — to confirm
- Power cut. Whether a battery keeps the gateway up across a Kenya Power interruption — to confirm. Do not read the demo power-failure scenario as that test.
- Backhaul. Ethernet, Wi-Fi or a SIM, and who pays for the data — to confirm
- Mounting. Who drills, whose conduit, typical time for four probes — to confirm
- Ownership. Sold, rented or customer-supplied — to confirm
The alerts screenshot used on the site has the acknowledger’s name blurred. Do not replace it with the raw capture.
