About Flatorb
Engineering clarity into physical operations.
Flatorb is an Operational Automation & Intelligence company. We help Sri Lankan businesses capture what is actually happening across inventory, warehouses, assets, manufacturing and logistics — and turn those events into trusted information.

What Flatorb is
Not just software. Not just hardware. Operational automation from floor to management.
Enterprise systems manage business records. Flatorb specializes in accurately capturing and controlling the physical events that create those records.
Our work begins where goods move, machines run, teams hand over assets and production progresses. We combine workflow understanding, implementation engineering, operational software and the right identification or sensing technology to make those activities visible and traceable.
OCTO Ops can work independently or connect verified operational information to ERP, finance, HR, procurement and other systems already in use.
Our roleClose the gap between what business systems record and what is actually happening in the operation.
Experience & history
Built through real operational work — not theory alone.
Flatorb’s experience comes from engineering solutions around factories, warehouses, logistics operations and other physical workflows where accuracy, adoption and reliability matter.
- 2008Global foundation
Engineering and automation experience begins.
A practical focus on using technology to solve real business and operational problems.
- 2012Sri Lanka
Local implementation capability is established.
Solutions are adapted to Sri Lankan workflows, people, infrastructure and commercial realities.
- 2015Innovation recognition
The platform’s predecessor receives IESL recognition.
Recognized as a Most Innovative Local Product — an early milestone in the evolution toward OCTO Ops.
- TodayOperational intelligence
Software, automation and engineering work as one.
OCTO Ops, RFID, barcode, IoT, GPS, AI and systems integration are applied according to operational fit and ROI.
What makes the approach different
Technology follows the operation — not the other way around.
We are deliberately technology-neutral. The objective is a reliable operational outcome, not selling the most complicated tool.
Choose the simplest technology that works.
Barcode when a barcode is enough. RFID where automation and bulk identification justify the investment. AI where it creates clear value.
Bring software, devices and integration together.
We engineer the complete operating flow — from the physical capture point to the information used by management.
Make the system usable in the real environment.
Configuration, field implementation, training, adoption and support are designed around Sri Lankan operational reality.
Two connected capabilities
Operational software and automation engineering — working as one team.
Some requirements begin with a known operational system. Others begin with a physical process that needs to be identified, sensed or automated. Flatorb supports both.
01
Operational solutionsPowered principally by OCTO Ops.
Modular systems that capture, control and trace real-world activity across:
- Warehouse & inventory operations
- Assets & maintenance
- Manufacturing operations
- Container yard operations
- 3PL operations
02
Automation & technology consultingEngineered around operational fit.
Specialist design, implementation and integration across:
- RFID & Auto-ID engineering
- Barcode & QR automation
- Industrial IoT & sensors
- GPS, NFC & tracking
- AI and systems integration
The engineering principle
Use the right technology for the operational outcome.
“AI when AI makes sense. RFID when RFID makes sense. Barcode when a barcode is enough.”
How we deliver
A disciplined path from unclear problem to adopted solution.
Start where the operational leakage or risk is clearest. Prove the result at a sensible scale, then expand with evidence.

USA & Sri Lanka presence
Global engineering perspective. Local operational accountability.
Flatorb combines experience developed across markets with an implementation team that understands Sri Lankan sites, workflows, users and constraints.
That combination matters: the solution should meet global engineering expectations while remaining practical for the people who use it every day.
