ShopDocs turns your shop's procedures into photo-based SOPs with QR codes at every workstation. Kanso — your AI safety advisor — reviews them against WorkSafeBC and OHSA before they go live.
No spam. One email when we open the doors.
Every shop has the same problem. Procedures live in the supervisor's head, on a laminated sheet nobody's updated since 2018, or in a binder in the office nobody opens. Enterprise tools cost $1,000 a month and require a quality engineer to set up. GembaDocs is $499 USD a year, caps you at 50 SOPs with 2 users, and has never heard of WorkSafeBC. You need something that works under fluorescent lights, on a cheap Android phone, with greasy fingers — and knows Canadian safety law.
Three things. Tightly built. Nothing you won't use.
Walk the floor with your phone. Photograph each step, write a caption, move to the next one. It's as fast as texting. Organize procedures into stages — Prep, Coat, Cure, QC — so the right instructions appear for the right phase of the job.
WorkSafeBC · OHSA · Alberta OHS Code
While you're building a procedure, ask Kanso anything. What PPE is required for this machine? Is lockout/tagout needed here? Is this SOP ready for a WorkSafeBC inspection? Kanso responds with the specific regulation and Part number — not generic advice.
Hit publish, get a QR code. Tape it to the machine, the wall, the bench. Any worker with a phone scans it and sees the current procedure — no app download, no login, no password. Always the latest version. Always where the work happens. Works offline once it's been viewed.
Track active jobs on a visual board. Each card links to the SOP for that procedure — so when a worker scans the QR code, they see the instructions for exactly where that job is in the process. Queued → In Progress → QC → Done.
Compliance insurance
At the end of every procedure, workers tap "I've read and understood this." One tap. A timestamped record is created: who read it, which version, and when.
When a WorkSafeBC inspector asks whether John read the procedure for that press brake before he operated it — you have the answer. Not a paper sign-in sheet. A digital log, searchable, exportable, version-aware.

Not for the enterprise. Not for the quality engineer with a six-figure budget. For the person who runs the floor, knows the process better than anyone, and has been telling Dave to write it down for three years.
