About Fabriq

Today, about 1 in 6 jobs is in the manufacturing sector, but a vast majority of factories provide outdated tools (paper, whiteboard, spoken voice) to the shop floor. This leads to low operational efficiency and low workforce engagement.

Our mission is to empower and engage this workforce across Europe and the world. We aim to bridge the technological divides and contribute to industrial relocalization. We are building fabriq, an intuitive, shopfloor-ready app (web and mobile) to:

• Save time and solve operational issues faster 🏃‍♀️

• Collaborate on complex issues 🤝

• Build and use an operational knowledge base 📚

• Track performance and detect issues early 📊

Fabriq was founded in 2019 by two seasoned entrepreneurs, Octave Lapeyronie and François Déchelette. It is generating very good traction on its market and is currently live on 150+ production sites in 23 countries. A seed round was raised early 2020 to accelerate growth and a Series A was recently closed in early 2022.

The team

As of writing, Fabriq counts about 70 employees; 25 of which in the product team. It comprises the CEO, who oversees the product, a Head of Technology, a Head of Engineering, a Product Manager, a Product Ops, a Product Marketing Manager, Quality Assurance Engineers and Full-stack Engineers.

At Fabriq, we value freedom and autonomy. We trust that skilled professionals know what is the best for them — which leads to the team getting the best of them! So, people can work how they want, when, and where they want.

We also value quality, user experience, and the happiness of team members. This is why the roadmap is defined together, and we regularly invest in performance, technical debt, UX improvements… We want to strike a healthy balance between product evolution, technical upkeep, and long-term investments.

The stack

The Fabriq web application is a typical single-page-application, in Vue.js, backed by a REST API.

On the back end, the REST API is historically implemented with a Django server, running on AWS. We are however in the process of revamping the stack and the infrastructure. Our goal is to implement services with TypeScript and Serverless technologies.

Specifically, the new stack relies on Cloudflare Workers (with Deno locally). We are on the bleeding edge, and frequently have access to beta features from Cloudflare. We made this bet on Serverless to have top performance all over the world, minimize operations, and provide a great developer experience.

We are also big on observability. We heavily use Honeycomb and Sentry, which are game changers to understand what goes on at scale.

Our coding style in TypeScript is inspired by Data Oriented Programming.

On the front end, we rely on the components library Vuetify but are slowly moving away from it by replacing its components with our own, developed as part of our design system.

We have introduced TypeScript to the front-end codebase and will progressively increase its use.

The front-end application is continuously deployed with Cloudflare Pages, which allows for preview URLs on pull requests.

We use Claap to share videos of our work, and Sentry to log errors.

We also offer a mobile application, developed with Vue.js and Capacitor (the current position is for the web application only).
