We put factories and back offices on autopilot.
Tekra is a Canadian engineering studio. We automate production with AI and software — from the shop floor (nesting, 3D estimation, machine data) to the office (ERP, AI-run inventory, agents) to the storefront (websites and apps).

Most factories still quote by guesswork and plan in spreadsheets.
We replace that with systems we have already built for real operations: AI that manages inventory end-to-end, nesting engines that cut material waste, 3D estimation that quotes in minutes, and automation that connects the machines to the office. One senior team, whiteboard to production.
What we build
All services →
Factory Automation with AI
We wire AI and software into production: machine data, planning, scheduling, quality and reporting — so the factory runs itself and tells you when it needs you.
Inventory managed by AI
Our inventory platform forecasts, reorders and reconciles on its own — humans just approve.
Nesting applications
Sheet & profile nesting engines that squeeze more parts out of every plate — built for CNC, laser and plasma workflows.
3D estimation apps
Load a model, get a quote: material, machining time and cost from real 3D geometry.
05 · ERPERP that fits
Finance, purchasing, production and HR in one system — built around the way you work.
Websites & apps
Fast, professional sites and portals that win work while you sleep.
FEATURED — AI INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Inventory that runs itself.
Built and proven in production: an inventory system where AI handles the full loop — forecasting demand, drafting purchase orders, balancing stock across locations, and flagging only what needs a human decision.
- AI demand forecasting & auto-replenishment
- Multi-warehouse, batch & expiry tracking
- Barcode / QR scanning from any phone
- Human approval only where it matters

Factory Automation by AI
Production planning, machine data and reporting automated end-to-end for a manufacturing plant.
manual reports: eliminated
AI-Managed Inventory
A full inventory management system where AI forecasts, reorders and reconciles — humans approve.
approval-only workflow
Nesting Application
Sheet nesting optimization for CNC cutting — more parts per plate, less scrap, faster programming.
programming time ↓
3D Estimation App
Upload a 3D model, get material, time and cost — quoting that used to take days now takes minutes.
consistent pricing
Built for operations that make real things.
If your business runs on machines, materials and margins, we speak your language — and our software already does this work somewhere else.
From first call to production, one accountable team.
Discovery
We map your current process, the pain, and the numbers behind it. Free, and you keep the findings.
Blueprint
Fixed scope, fixed price, real architecture diagrams. You know exactly what you're buying before we write code.
Build in sprints
Working software every two weeks. You test on real data while we build the next slice.
Launch & train
We deploy, migrate your data, and train your team until they're faster than before.
Run & improve
Monitoring, support, and a roadmap. Systems that keep getting better instead of quietly rotting.
What changes when Tekra moves in
The old way
- Quotes estimated by feel — two days each, margins hoped for
- Stock counted by hand, discovered missing at the worst time
- Planning lives in one person's head and seventeen spreadsheets
- Machines run, but nobody knows the real numbers until month-end
- Evenings lost to retyping data between systems
With Tekra
- Quotes computed from 3D geometry in minutes, priced by your rules
- Inventory forecast, reordered and balanced by AI — you approve
- Production planned automatically, visible to everyone, live
- One dashboard: machines, materials, money — right now
- Systems talk to each other; your evenings are yours again
"Quoting used to take our estimator two days per job. With Tekra's 3D estimation app it takes twenty minutes, and the margins finally hold. The factory runs on their software every single day."General ManagerManufacturing client, Canada — reference on request
