TissueMate replaces paper shift logs and end-of-shift spreadsheets with one place to record output, stops and their causes. Built by a production lead with 15 years on tissue machines.
Pilots from R500/month. Set up in a week.
Most tissue plants still track shifts on paper and in spreadsheets. TissueMate puts production and downtime in one place, so you know where the hours went.
Supervisors record output as the shift runs, so the report is ready at handover instead of being rebuilt from notebooks.
Each stop gets a time, a duration and a reason, so repeat breakdowns stop hiding in someone's notebook.
Every shift's numbers sit in one place you can search months later, not across paper logs and personal spreadsheets.
Compare output and stops across shifts, and see which equipment causes the most downtime.
Set up with your equipment list, product specifications and day/night shifts. A short setup, not a months-long IT project.
Plain screens using the words your operators already use. It runs in a web browser, with nothing to install.
I'm Ntobeko Sithole. I've spent 15 years in tissue manufacturing, starting as a machine operator and working up to shift production lead.
I've seen how much time goes into paper logs and end-of-shift reports, and how often downtime minutes go missing. TissueMate is built to fix that.

Start small on one machine or line, and only carry on if it saves your team time.
You tell me how you record production and downtime today, and where it breaks down.
I load your equipment list and product specifications, and show your supervisors how to use it.
Use it on real shifts from R500/month. We agree the price after the pilot upfront, so there are no surprises.
A printable A4 sheet for logging every stop with its time, duration, reason code and action taken. Use it on its own, or as a first step before going digital.
Tell me how you track production and downtime today, and I'll show you how TissueMate would work on your floor. No obligation.
