A desktop business workspace for manufacturing teams

Use one local-first desktop shell to hold task collaboration, mold and project management, the file workbench, invitation-code licensing, and multi-workspace switching in the same operational surface.

Capability Map

Bring business objects, task execution, and file flow back into one desktop workflow

The current product focuses on real manufacturing-team scenarios across tasks, projects, molds, products, customers, and file handling. It does not package unfinished modules as roadmap promises.

Unified Workbench

Unified workspaces and server switching

One server entry maps to one workspace. Business pages, tools, and discovery switch inside the same desktop shell to minimize restarts, re-logins, and context loss.

  • Restore the last page and expanded navigation state
  • Fall back to the local workspace when a remote one is unreachable
  • Global modules such as Discovery and Tools stay available across server switches
Task Collaboration

Task collaboration and board flow

Regular and recurring tasks are licensed separately, while create, view, and edit all converge into a single work modal. The board, attachment preview, and task pool are designed for ongoing manufacturing execution.

  • Double-click opens a read-only detail state and switches to edit in place
  • Board columns and task pool state persist both locally and on the server
  • Preview attachments and summaries directly from task cards
Business Modules

Business modules for molds, projects, products, and customers

The current object-management surface already spans mold management, mold development, modification tracking, projects, products, customers, suppliers, and materials.

  • Unify read-only detail and edit mode instead of stacking drawers and popovers
  • Inspect related objects from the same work-modal flow
  • Version records and restore flow already exist for molds and products
File Workbench

A Windows-first file workbench

The tool workspace bundles File Assistant and LAN Assistant for local organization, site connection, remote browsing, transfer queues, and in-app preview or editing for common file types.

  • Open PDF, spreadsheets, Word, code, JSON, images, audio, and video inside the workbench
  • FTP / FTPS / SFTP transfer and synchronized browsing
  • Save remote files through a local working copy before write-back
Access Control

Offline licensing driven by invitation codes

Module availability comes from invitation-code tiers plus local activation records, which fits offline licensing, weak-network deployment, and module-based desktop product packaging.

  • Free, PLUS, and PRO can each toggle submodules with boolean switches
  • Admin users can refresh permissions in-session after switching invitation codes
  • Menus, routes, and APIs follow the same authorization boundary
Desktop Quality

Local-first behavior and desktop stability

The application ships with built-in data and service behavior, restores sessions and workspace state on startup, and keeps improving long-running desktop usage under weak-network conditions.

  • The welcome screen absorbs startup to reduce white flashes and hard transitions
  • Retry session recovery when the server is briefly unavailable
  • Large previews prefer cached files and main-process descriptors
Why It Fits

This is not generic office SaaS. It is a desktop workspace designed around manufacturing realities.

The unified work modal, invitation-code licensing, site transfer, file workbench, and multi-server workspace switching all exist because the product is built for long-running desktop sessions, local data, and tightly linked business objects.

Scenarios

Three rollout scenarios that match the current release best

Daily coordination for mold factories and manufacturing teams

Keep molds, projects, products, customers, and tasks inside one workspace instead of bouncing between spreadsheets, chat, shared folders, and separate local tools.

  • Tasks and business objects stay linked in one desktop flow
  • Detail, edit, version history, and attachments stay inside the unified modal pattern
  • Authorization boundaries remain clear for admins and modules

File movement and remote site operations

Handle local files, remote directories, production assets, drag-and-drop transfer, preview, editing, synchronized browsing, and shortcut management inside one tool workspace.

  • Track upload, download, overwrite decisions, and retries through one queue
  • Open common file formats without leaving the app
  • Restore recent sites, paths, and synchronized browsing state automatically

Local deployment, weak-network use, and module-based delivery

The current product fits desktop software that needs offline licensing, a local database, weak-network operation, and long-running workstation usage.

  • Activation history and module snapshots stay in the local database
  • Restore session, server entry, and workspace context after restart
  • Windows remains the primary delivery target
Latest Updates

Recent releases have gone deeper on the tool workspace and desktop stability

The first website release is based directly on existing release facts rather than speculative future plans.

v0.3.0

Global chat search and the unread dock are now available

The latest release turns its attention to chat, adding faster conversation and contact search plus a more direct unread-message entry point.

v0.2.19

The file workbench became a more complete in-app processing center

Quick preview now covers PDF, spreadsheets, Word, code, JSON, images, and media, with remote files saved through a local working copy.

v0.2.18

The tools workspace launched and dual-pane file management became more production-ready

File Assistant and LAN Assistant arrived with site connection, drag-and-drop transfer, directory browsing, and quick preview.

v0.2.17

The welcome screen and session recovery made desktop startup steadier

Startup and server recovery were consolidated behind the welcome experience, making it easier to return to the last working context.

Windows-first Delivery

Start from the current release with the Windows installer

The primary download artifact is QiuGe-Helper-Setup-0.3.4.exe. If you want to review the capability map first, browse the product pages and docs before deciding how to roll it into a real team flow.
