A manufacturing document management system is a secure portal where your team, suppliers, or partners can log in to access and manage critical production documents—such as work instructions, quality certifications, engineering drawings, and compliance records. It keeps all your documentation organized in one central location, so you don’t have to chase down information in emails or physical folders. This helps your manufacturing operations stay compliant, efficient, and well-coordinated.
Softr makes it easy to create a manufacturing document management system tailored to your factory’s workflow. You can connect your existing data sources—like Airtable, Notion, monday.com, SQL, and more—and set up a portal where team members can log in, view or upload updated documents, fill out forms, and track revision histories in a single place.
No coding is needed. Start with a template or build your own structure, customize layouts, manage permissions for document access, and add your company branding. The system is quick to launch, simple to update, and flexible enough to adapt as regulations or processes change. This keeps your documentation secure, organized, and always up to date.
You can build a variety of features to match your manufacturing document management needs. Some of the most common features include:
\- User logins – so each team member or supplier can securely access relevant documents
\- Custom dashboards – to track document status, approvals, or compliance deadlines
\- Forms – for submitting document revisions, approval requests, or incident reports
\- File sharing – for uploading and downloading specifications, manuals, or certifications
\- Search and filters – to quickly locate specific documents or records
\- Tables, lists, and detail views – to display parts lists, audit logs, or revision histories
\- Comments or status updates – to keep change requests and communications organized
\- Charts – to visualize compliance trends, audit frequency, or overdue actions
\- Calendar view – for tracking document review cycles or certification renewals
\- Permissions and roles – so users only access the files relevant to their role
All these features can be created with Softr’s drag-and-drop blocks, without any coding. If your manufacturing process changes, you can easily update or expand your system.
No coding is required. You can build your entire manufacturing document management system using Softr’s visual editor. Everything from page layouts to user permissions can be customized without writing a single line of code.
Yes. You can manage multiple manufacturing partners, suppliers, or internal teams within the same document management system. Each user only sees the documents and data assigned to them, based on their login and role. This is particularly helpful for manufacturers who work with different partners, departments, or production teams and want to keep sensitive information organized and secure.
Softr supports a wide range of data sources, making it easy to integrate your manufacturing documentation. You can connect to Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, Clickup, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. You can also bring in data from other sources using the REST API.
You’re not limited to just one. You can integrate multiple data sources into the same system and display them side by side—so your manufacturing portal, for example, can pull in documentation from both Airtable and Google Sheets at once. Most sources allow for real-time, two-way sync, so updates in your app or data source stay in sync automatically.
Yes, Softr gives you full control over how users interact with your manufacturing document management system. You can customize the layout, navigation, and content to fit your company's workflow and branding. Pages or specific blocks of content can be shown or hidden based on who’s logged in, so each team, supplier, or partner sees only the documents relevant to them.
You can also set up different user roles, such as supplier, production manager, or admin—and define exactly what each role can view or edit. For example, partners can access only their associated documentation, while internal staff can manage all records. You can also create personalized document views filtered by the logged-in user.
This level of customization is especially useful for manufacturers managing multiple teams, partners, or projects in one place. It keeps the user experience streamlined, secure, and relevant to each person accessing the system.
Yes, you can. You don’t need to have existing data in another system to get started with Softr for your manufacturing document management needs. If you’re starting from scratch, you can use Softr Databases, which is built into the platform and integrates perfectly with any manufacturing documentation workflow you set up.
If you already have manufacturing data in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or SQL, you can connect those as well. The REST API connector also lets you bring in documents or data from other sources. Either way, you have full control over how your manufacturing information is organized and displayed.
Yes, you can fully white-label your manufacturing document management system in Softr. You can use your own company logo, brand colors, fonts, and a custom domain to make the system look and feel like a natural extension of your manufacturing operations. You can also remove all Softr branding, ensuring that only your organization’s identity is visible throughout the platform.
Yes, you can. Softr offers extensive flexibility to control both the design and layout of your manufacturing document management system. You can adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and the overall page structure to match your company’s style. Each page can be laid out exactly how you want, letting you decide which blocks appear where and what different users see based on their roles.
To organize your manufacturing documents and data, you can use a variety of blocks:
\- Table blocks – to show structured data such as production records, compliance documents, or equipment logs
\- List or Card blocks – to highlight items like safety manuals, standard operating procedures, or quality certificates
\- Detail View – to display a single document or record in depth, like a product specification sheet
\- Forms – for collecting feedback or submitting requests
\- Charts – to visualize key manufacturing metrics
\- Calendar blocks – to track audits, maintenance schedules, or document review dates
If your needs change, you can update your system at any time using the visual builder.
Softr is designed with security as a top priority. All data within your manufacturing document management system is encrypted both in transit (TLS) and at rest, and your system is hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. You have full control over who can access or modify documents through role-based permissions, user management, and visibility rules which help protect sensitive manufacturing data throughout your entire platform.
If you connect to external sources like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr simply displays your manufacturing documents in real time without storing the data itself, based on your configured access settings. You always control your data and who can view or edit it.
Softr adheres to industry-standard best practices for authentication, access control, and platform monitoring to keep your manufacturing information safe.
You can get started for free. Softr’s Free plan allows you to publish one app with up to 10 users and 2 user groups, including support for key data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more.
