The story
One shift. Everyone in it.
An animated story: the gate, signing in, picking a truck, the pre-shift check, the floor, and what each person puts in and gets back.

Cleared
to move.
GatiNav is the warehouse management system where nothing moves until it's cleared. The operator's certificate, the forklift's pre-shift check, the bay's damage status, the contractor's papers at the gate and the client the stock belongs to are checked by the database on every scan. All clear, the scan goes through in a second. If not, it stops and says why.
Real screens from the demo. Synthetic data.
The idea
Every move gets a signal.
Gati is Sanskrit for motion; Nav is to steer. Every warehouse has safety rules on paper, and paper doesn't stop a forklift. GatiNav checks each move before it happens and answers in one of three colours.
Cleared
Certified operator, inspected truck, sound bay, right client. The scan goes through.
Heads up
A certificate expires in 9 days, an inspection is due, a trailer has waited too long. It goes through, and someone is told.
Stopped
A failed pre-shift check, a Grade A damaged bay, a contractor without insurance. Nothing moves, and the screen says why and who can clear it.
New in 2.1 · Decide
Your morning starts with ranked decisions.
Each night GatiNav reads your own data and sizes what is worth acting on, in dollars: work with no rate to bill it, rates that have not moved, storage blocked by damage, trucks standing idle, certificates about to take people off equipment, trailers past free time.
Detect
A ranked list each morning, sized in dollars, with how sure it is.
Explain
What, why it matters, and the actions, written from your figures.
Understand
Where the value sits: which client, bay, truck or certificate.
Simulate
Move a lever, such as days to repair or a rate increase, and see the impact.
Choose
Three ways to act: high confidence, balanced, maximum reach.
Certify
A frozen decision report, with follow-up actions emailed to their owners.
Figures come from your data and the assumptions you set. The words are written by fixed rules, not an AI model: the same data always gives the same answer.
Warehouse reality
Six things that slip through on paper.
Unchecked forklifts
A failed pre-use check must keep the truck parked.
Expired certificates
Forklift, WHMIS, first aid. Caught before the shift.
Uncleared contractors
No valid WSIB clearance or insurance, no gate entry.
Damaged racking
Serious damage locks the bay until it's fixed.
Monitoring policy
Ontario's ESA rules for 25+ staff. Acknowledgments tracked.
Mixed-up clients
Each client sees only its own stock and charges.
General information, not legal advice.

FAQ
Straight answers.
Does it make us compliant?
No software can on its own. GatiNav enforces the rules you set; starter defaults should be confirmed by your legal and safety advisers.
Can a device get around the rules?
No. The database enforces them for every screen, handheld and integration.
Where does our data live?
On a server you control. We can package it for your cloud as part of a project.
Where can we use GatiNav?
Anywhere in North America. The first release builds in Ontario's rules: Reg. 851 pre-shift inspections, WSIB clearance for contractors and HST on invoices. Future releases add the rules of other provinces, territories and US states, starting with where our customers operate.
How does our existing data get in?
Upload Excel or CSV and match your columns on screen, paste from a spreadsheet, type records in, or let your HR or ERP system push them through an import API or a watched folder. Every import is checked first and nothing is saved until you confirm.
Does it send invoices? EDI?
Yes to both. Once a month ends, GatiNav issues numbered invoices from the ledger and rate cards; they never change afterwards and print to PDF. Clients' EDI 856 ship notices load as ASNs, through the API or a watched folder, and receive scans count against them.
Do operators need special scanners?
No. Any phone or tablet camera reads the barcodes. Handheld scanners work too.
Two-factor sign-in?
Yes. A code from any authenticator app after the password, with recovery codes. Each organisation decides who must use it: administrators, or everyone.
Can we sign in with Microsoft or Google?
Yes, with work accounts from Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace. Your administrator connects your directory, and it signs in only the people you have added to GatiNav. You can also keep passwords for administrators only.
What if the Wi-Fi drops on the floor?
Keep scanning. Scans wait on the phone and are sent, with the time they were taken, when the connection is back. Each is counted once, and every safety rule is still checked.
Can we take our data with us?
Any time. Administrators download everything as one spreadsheet-ready file per kind of record. If you leave, we delete your data and give you a deletion certificate.
Is Decide an AI?
No. Decide sizes each decision from your own records and the assumptions you set (idle equipment cost, labour cost, detention charge and so on), and writes the briefing with fixed rules. The same data always gives the same figures and words, and every report lists its assumptions.
Pricing?
Per site, per month, with unlimited users, in three plans: Safety, Operations and Command. See the plans, or email for a quote.
