From head office to the factory floor, Oak connects all employees through a secure, mobile first manufacturing intranet designed specifically for manufacturing teams. Cut through information overload, bridge the gap between leadership and frontline operations and keep every employee safe, aligned, informed and engaged, wherever they work.

HR processes, training, schedules, compliance updates and daily communication, all delivered instantly and consistently to every worker on every shift through a manufacturing intranet. Targeted and customisable updates ensure the right information reaches the right sites, teams or shifts, keeping frontline and desk-based employees connected, aligned and informed.


When safety, compliance and training information don’t reach the manufacturing frontline reliably, operational risk, reduced productivity and widespread disengagement follow. With teams spread across factories, warehouses and head office, a mix of paper notices, siloed systems and inconsistent updates makes clear communication impossible to manage.
Oak’s mobile-first manufacturing intranet gives every employee the same real-time access to critical information. No desk, corporate email or regular IT access required. So everyone feels equipped, safe and connected.
Industry approved – trusted by leading manufacturers, like Marshalls, MFA, CompoSecure and OEC
Secure and scalable – ISO 27001 certified for global operations
Verified ROI – proven to strengthen compliance, engagement and workforce retention

































Unify HR systems, safety resources, training tools, policies, scheduling and operational updates into one mobile-first platform. With App Launcher creating a personalised, single digital front door to every system (from payroll to equipment ordering) deskless workers get everything they need without multiple logins or platform-hopping.
Centralise health and safety resources, risk assessments, training materials and incident reporting in one easy-to-access hub. Track acknowledgements, confirm mandatory reads and ensure every shift, site and team receives the same clear safety information, reducing risk and improving compliance across your operations.
Send tailored messages to specific factories, production lines or shift groups so teams receive only what’s relevant to them. No noise, no missed updates, just precise, operationally critical communication that keeps teams aligned and production running smoothly.
Connect Oak to the systems manufacturing organisations rely on, including Microsoft 365, Google Drive, SharePoint, HR platforms, scheduling tools and more. With single sign-on and deep integrations, employees access all content and tools in one place, reducing time wasted searching for latest versions and updates.
For organisations with specialist systems or complex infrastructure, the Developer Centre allows technical teams to build custom apps and integrations within Oak. Extend functionality, connect niche tools and tailor the platform to work across your manufacturing environments without disrupting existing workflows.
Use community spaces and social feeds to share updates, celebrate achievements, highlight best practice and foster collaboration across factories and regions. Oak helps frontline teams feel part of the wider organisation and supports a culture of learning, innovation and shared success.
Make recognition part of everyday operations with peer-to-peer praise, shift shout-outs and factory-wide highlights. Visible appreciation boosts morale, strengthens culture and supports retention in traditionally high-turnover environments.
Built-in analytics and AI-powered insights reveal engagement, message reach, training completion rates and communication gaps across shifts and locations. Leaders gain clarity on what’s working and where attention is needed to strengthen safety, culture and operational performance.
“Before Chatty Patty, before an internal communication app, we had no real way to communicate with our crew members, it was really difficult. Oak provided a well-rounded app that did a bit of everything and we thought that was perfect for us. Whatever we’ve asked for from Oak we’ve absolutely received and that’s hugely reassuring.”

What is a manufacturing intranet and why does a manufacturing company need one?
A manufacturing intranet is a secure digital platform that improves internal communication, safety, compliance and productivity across operational and office-based teams. For manufacturing organisations with large workforces, limited digital access and critical information that must reach every shift and site, Oak provides a mobile-first solution that unites the factory floor and HQ. This streamlines safety and training updates and ensures every employee receives the information they need to work safely and efficiently.
What difference will a manufacturing intranet make to my manufacturing teams?
A clear, consistent intranet strengthens safety culture, lifts engagement and ensures essential updates reach every production line, shift and facility. When staff feel informed, supported and connected to the wider organisation, operational performance improves, compliance is easier to maintain and turnover decreases.
Why choose Oak over other intranet providers?

How does Oak reach frontline staff without desk access or email?
Oak is built for deskless workforces, giving factory floor, warehouse and maintenance teams real-time access to updates, safety information, training resources and recognition directly on their smartphones. No desk, corporate email or fixed IT access required.
Does Oak integrate with existing systems used across manufacturing organisations?
Yes. Oak integrates with the systems used by both office and frontline teams including:
With App Launcher, all these systems sit behind one personalised digital front door, reducing friction and making everyday tasks faster and more intuitive for both operational and office-based teams. Developer Centre also allows organisations to build custom integrations for specialised or in-house systems.
How can I measure the success of a manufacturing intranet?
Success is measured through built-in, AI-powered analytics that track engagement, message reach, policy acknowledgements, training interactions, sentiment and usage across shifts and sites. These insights highlight what’s working, where gaps exist and how teams are engaging with content, helping you strengthen safety, improve communication and demonstrate clear ROI.
