Integrations

Your Entire Stack, Connected to the Frontline Running It

1,000+ Pre-built connectors via Poka Automate.

With over 1,000 connectors available through Poka Automate, our iPaaS platform, your teams can build custom workflows between Poka and the systems you already run.. For AI-native connectivity, Poka's Model Context Protocol (MCP) means your AI Agents can read from and write to your enterprise stack in minutes, not weeks. In addition, Poka's open RESTful API gives your developers the flexibility to build any custom integration. And Poka Data Lake streams operational data directly to your corporate BI platforms.

Build Your Workflow

Digital Work Instructions

Every Operator Performing Like Your Best Operator

58% Reduction in defects and rework.

Paper binders, tribal knowledge, and outdated SOPs slow every shift down. Poka replaces outdated paper and tribal knowledge with AI-powered digital work instructions that are easy to create, easy to update, and easy to follow on the shop floor. Your most experienced operators, technicians, and engineers can capture how they do the job in rich, multimedia work instructions that are instantly available across teams, shifts, and sites.

Standardize Best Practices

Skills & Training Management

Build the Workforce That Wins Every Shift

42% Faster new employee onboarding.

Poka's Skills Management is purpose-built to ramp new hires faster, upskill your existing workforce, and give every worker a clear path forward. A live skills matrix gives team leads and managers a real-time view of every skill, across every worker, line, shift. Scored exams, SME endorsements, and configurable recertification policies ensure your skills matrix reflects real competency, not just checkbox completion.

Close Your Skills Gaps

Communication

Keep Every Shift Aligned, Informed, and Engaged

74% Increase in frontline engagement. 68% Reduction in meeting prep time.

Poka’s social media-like Factory Feed gives every operator, team lead, and plant manager a shared, real-time pulse of what is happening across the operation. It drives adoption and inclusion without training and keeps every worker connected to the updates, alerts, issues, and becomes the vehicle of recognition that matters to the shift.

Huddle Boards transform every team meeting and tiered review into a fast, focused, high-impact session. SQDCP metrics, open issues, standard work, and action items surface on a single pane of glass designed to prepare your team to win every shift.

Digital Forms & Checklists

Close the Loop Between Data and Action

~65% Reduction in administrative and reporting time.

Poka digital forms are built with conditional logic, multimedia capture, e-signatures, and automated scheduling. Completed forms surface directly on team Huddle Boards. Deviations trigger instant alerts and connect to the Issues and Action Board. Every submission is timestamped, traceable, and audit-ready from the moment it is submitted.

Digitize Your Forms

Issues Management

Production Problems Don't Wait. Neither Should Your Team

Teams resolve issues 20-40% faster.

Poka gives every operator a fast, effortless way to report a production issue right from where they work, with photos, videos, and context captured on mobile in seconds. Every submission is timestamped, categorized, and visible to the right people instantly. Corrective actions are assigned on a centralized Kanban board with clear owners, deadlines, discussion threads and tracked to resolution, faster.

The Poka Difference

Most tools solve one problem in isolation, leaving your teams to stitch together disconnected systems,
duplicate data, and manage the gaps in between. Poka eliminates that gap entirely.

Purpose-Built for Manufacturing Since Day One

Poka has spent over 12 years building exclusively for industrial and manufacturing environments. We understand the realities of multi-shift operations, multilingual workforces, complex equipment hierarchies, and the relentless pressure to deliver quality at speed.

Continuous Improvement at Scale

Every capability in Poka is designed to make your operation smarter with every shift. Work instructions improve as workers capture new knowledge. Skills matrices stay current as certifications are earned and validated. Issues become troubleshooting guides. Form data feeds dashboards. Analytics surface the CI opportunities hiding in your daily operations. AI Agents learn from your processes and act with increasing precision.

This is not a collection of point solutions. It is a unified platform where every interaction compounds into organizational learning, and every improvement made at one site can be scaled across your entire manufacturing network in minutes.

The industry leaders who run on Poka do not just manage their frontline workforce. They build one that continuously learns, adapts, and improves, creating a compounding competitive advantage that grows stronger over time. That is the power of one fully integrated connected worker platform, built for manufacturing from day one.

Frequently Asked Question

What makes Poka different from other connected worker platforms?

The biggest difference is that Poka was built specifically for industrial and manufacturing environments from day one, over 12 years ago. Most competitors adapt horizontal enterprise tools or assemble point solutions. Poka is one unified platform where every module, from Industrial AI to Work Instructions to Analytics to Issues Management, was designed for the factory floor and works together seamlessly. That integration depth creates compounding value that disconnected tools simply cannot replicate.
