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. 16 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.
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.
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 instead of being rekeyed
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
Whatever you make, these don't change
They serve every lane, so they live here once instead of showing up in all four trees.
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 16 modules
The whole catalog, grouped by what each one does.
Core Productivity
3 modulesTask Management
Recurring work that runs itself.
- Gantt-ready tasks with hierarchy, dependencies and assignees
- Recurrence engine: audits, reviews and calibrations reschedule themselves
- Auditable cycle history — including proof of what did NOT happen
Document Control
ISO document control that starts from the folders you already have.
- Drag in a whole folder — thousands of files at once, and Resume finishes the job if the browser closes
- Downloads come out as watermarked controlled copies, stamped DRAFT until the revision is approved — Word and Excel convert on the way
- Documents tag themselves from their content, filename and embedded properties, so people find them by subject instead of by folder
- Every access is logged, and retention notices reach the accountable owner a month before records fall out of policy
Geo-Replicated Documents
Geographic replication for your document control.
- Second-site replication on independent infrastructure
- Controlled documents survive a full data-center loss
- Same WORM retention + audit trail, twice the resilience

CMMC 2.0 / NIST 800-171
CMMC 2.0 readiness for defense contracts.
- All 110 NIST 800-171 practices with assessment scoring
- POA&M tracking wired into your corrective-action system
- Crosswalk credit when you also run ISO 27001
Operations
5 modulesReport Designer
HTML reports — a new output, not a replacement for SSRS.
- A drag-and-drop designer for HTML reports: something your users don't have today, sitting alongside the Epicor SSRS reports you already run
- Epicor BAQ data sources via Kinetic API Connect
- Revision history on every design, with PDF export and print-from-browser rendering
Label Printing
Zebra-first, direct to the printer.
- ZPL label templates with merge fields and full revision history

RFID Tracking
Every tag, every zone, in real time.
- Reader registry + batch ingest from handheld and fixed-portal devices
- Tag tracking across inventory, job and shipping zones with a full read history
- Own Kinetic API Connect? PCID actions post receive/move/ship straight into Epicor
Timekeeper
Indirect labor, captured where it happens.
- Captures indirect labor and time against an account or project bucket — production job time stays in Epicor, where it belongs
- ESP32 button pads on the floor: punches buffer on removable flash, so no WiFi loss ever loses time
- Pushes entries to your source of truth: Clockify, Teamwork, or Epicor
Log Archival
Long-term log archival on your own storage.
- S3-compatible archive on storage you control
- Retention policies to match your compliance needs
- Console access for search and export
ERP Connectivity
1 moduleKinetic API Connect
The bridge between your modules and Epicor Kinetic.

- Per-call metering and a full call log for audit and billing
Backup & Continuity

Machine backup with provable durability.
- Encrypted, deduplicated backups from every enrolled machine
- Durability verification jobs that prove restores work
- Per-device enrollment tied to your identity provider
Geo-Replicated Backup
Geographic replication for your backups.
- Second-site replication on independent infrastructure
- Survives a full data-center loss
- Same encryption, twice the resilience
Security
1 moduleSecureAware Password Manager
A zero-knowledge password vault for your whole team.

- Per-user vaults with WebAuthn hardware-key support
- Runs in your own deployment, wherever you put it — the server only ever holds ciphertext either way

- Training that sticks. Uplifts, implementations and gap discovery that leave your team standing on its own.
