Production, warehouse and quality software for plants in Hatay; your existing ERP stays in place.

At Pan Innovation House we build production tracking, warehouse management, quality records and dealer portals that run alongside the existing ERP for manufacturers in İskenderun, Payas and Antakya, and we set up websites, e-commerce and e-export infrastructure for brands in Hatay. We work from our head office in Gaziantep, remotely and with planned site visits. The first 30-minute call is free; the scope of an on-site discovery, and its fee if any, is agreed in writing during that call.

How we work here: We do not have an office in Hatay. Our head office is at Okan Towers in Şehitkamil, Gaziantep; according to Google Maps, Payas is about 2 hours away by road, İskenderun about 2 hours 15 minutes and Antakya about 2 hours 45 minutes. We start conversations by video call or on WhatsApp and plan site discovery in advance; visit frequency and travel costs are set out in writing in the proposal.

Production and logistics businesses in Hatay: common record-keeping problems and our approach

Without changing your existing ERP, we add production tracking (MES), quality records (QMS), warehouse and yard management (WMS), a dealer portal and integration alongside it. The matching below is Pan Innovation House's own assessment; it is verified at each plant through an on-site conversation.

The problem. Rolling mills, pipe and profile makers and machinery manufacturers in İskenderun and Payas: if lot numbers are matched to material certificates in Excel, the billet and coil yard is tracked on paper, or weighbridge and dispatch data is keyed into the ERP by hand, the answer to a certificate query has to be pulled together from several files.

Our approach. A quality module that links lot and certificate in the same record, location-based tracking for stock in the yard, integration between the weighbridge and dispatch, and production tracking from work order to dispatch.

The problem. Automotive suppliers and filter manufacturers: if cross-reference lists for a large number of product codes sit in different files and distributor orders arrive by phone or email, stock availability has to be asked about separately every time.

Our approach. A cross-referenced product catalogue and a B2B portal where distributors see their own prices and stock availability as they order; orders are transferred through integration, depending on the access the ERP allows, with the aim that the same order is not re-entered by hand.

The problem. Citrus and fresh fruit and vegetable packing: if purchasing, the weighbridge, lots and pallet labels are not linked to one another, staff have to track by hand which pallet is where in cold storage and how long it has been there.

Our approach. Lot traceability from purchase to pallet, barcoded pallet labels, warehouse management (WMS) that tracks location and dwell time in cold storage, and a loading list tied to export dispatch.

The problem. Olive oil: if olive purchases, weighbridge tickets, tank and filling records are kept in separate ledgers, when someone asks which purchase a bottle came from, the answer has to be gathered from several sources.

Our approach. A structure that brings purchase and weighbridge, tank and filling lots together in a single record; API integration with the accounting software and the ERP, depending on the access they allow.

The problem. Port and international haulage: if trip, vehicle, driver and document details sit in different spreadsheets, customers phone to find out where their load is.

Our approach. Trip and document tracking, vehicle and fleet records (TMS), and a tracking portal where customers can follow their own load.

The problem. Footwear and furniture supply industry: if stock by model, size and assortment and work sent out to subcontractors are tracked by hand, wholesale customers ask about their order status again and again.

Our approach. A B2B order portal, assortment-based stock, production planning by order, and records of work going out to and coming back from subcontractors.

Modules and sectors

Starting modules and industry solutions for plants in Hatay

The first step we suggest is usually production tracking, quality records, warehouse management or ERP integration. The pages below explain the method and scope of each module and each industry software solution in detail.

How do we work with businesses in Hatay?

We work from our head office in Şehitkamil, Gaziantep, remotely and with planned site visits. We hold the first conversation by video call or on WhatsApp, and when the plant needs to be seen we plan the visit in advance. Plants in Dörtyol, Payas, İskenderun and Antakya are close enough to Gaziantep for a same-day return trip.

We recommend starting with a single module, for example weighbridge and dispatch records only, or lot tracking only. Once the system has settled in and the team is used to it, we move on to the second module. Day-to-day support is provided remotely.

Hatay in figures: brief, sourced facts

Last checked: 8 October 2026. According to data from the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM), Hatay exported USD 2.71 billion in the first nine months of 2026; this is a 6.1 per cent increase on the same period of the previous year and places Hatay 11th among provinces. Hatay's exports for the whole of 2025 were USD 3.47 billion. TİM's provincial data is compiled by the province in which the exporting company has its registered head office (TİM, export tables by province, 30 September 2026 and 31 December 2025).

In the same nine months, USD 1.65 billion of Hatay's exports came from the steel sector and USD 374 million from fresh fruit and vegetables; chemicals (USD 98.8 million) and the automotive industry (USD 91.4 million) followed (TİM, Sector Figures by Province, 30 September 2026). This distribution is why, in factory software, we give priority to metal and pipe production, followed by packing and the automotive supply industry.

In 2025, 70.9 million tonnes of cargo were handled within the boundaries of the İskenderun Regional Harbour Master's Office, the third-highest figure in Türkiye after Aliağa and Kocaeli (statement by the Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Ekonomi Gazetesi, 1 February 2026). The harbour master's area of responsibility may not match the provincial boundary exactly.

In December 2024 the chair of the Antakya Organised Industrial Zone (OSB) said that around 3,500 people worked in the OSB and that the shortage of skilled workers was continuing (Ekonomi Gazetesi, 12 December 2024). What we take from this: when work instructions, machine settings and quality control steps are recorded in the system, the know-how of experienced staff stays in the business and new employees learn from the same records.

Under the Local Development Initiative Programme, local investment topics for each province are set by a communiqué of the Ministry of Industry and Technology (legal basis: Presidential Decision No. 9903, 2025). The list updated on 31 January 2026 includes four topics for Hatay: production of supply-industry products for the footwear sector; production of supply-industry products for the furniture sector; processing and production of advanced metal materials used in industry; and production and processing of fishery and aquaculture products (Official Gazette, 31 January 2026, issue 33154). Whether a business can benefit from this support is decided by the relevant institution.

Since 2017 Hatay has been a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network as a City of Gastronomy (Anadolu Agency, 1 November 2017). We prepare our recommendations for restaurants, künefe shops and accommodation businesses with this identity in mind.

The Kahramanmaraş-centred earthquakes of 6 February 2023 deeply affected Hatay; official assessments are set out in the reports of the Presidency of Strategy and Budget. As of February 2026, traders from Antakya's historic Long Bazaar (Uzun Çarşı) were working in a temporary prefabricated bazaar while the bazaar was being rebuilt (TRT Haber/AA, 4 February 2026).

Digital growth for Hatay brands

Your own sales channel for olive oil and regional food

We build websites, e-commerce and e-export infrastructure for producer brands in Hatay. For olive oil and foods with a geographical indication, we plan together how registration and label details appear on the product page, the shipping and cold chain notes, and the e-export steps for the first target market.

Restaurants, künefe shops and accommodation businesses

A Google Business Profile set up with the business's real address, regular replies to reviews and a menu in Turkish and English. Each real branch can have a separate profile at its own address; no profile is created for a district without a branch, and no virtual office or virtual address is used.

B2B catalogue for footwear and furniture

A B2B catalogue where wholesale buyers can see model, colour and size options and place orders. Orders are transferred to the ERP or the production plan, depending on the access the existing system allows; English product information and a quotation form are added for overseas buyers.

Example scenarios for sectors in Hatay

These are illustrative scenarios, not real client cases. Results vary by sector, budget and starting point; we agree target values in writing before work begins.

Filter manufacturer

Situation. Distributors call the sales team to find out the equivalent of another brand's product code and whether it is in stock.

Our approach. A catalogue searchable by equivalent and original part codes; an ordering portal that works with distributor-specific prices and stock.

Intended outcome. Code-matching and stock questions answered in the portal; orders transferred without being re-entered by hand, depending on the access the ERP allows.

Olive oil or regional food brand

Situation. Orders arrive on WhatsApp and shipping details are typed by hand; enquiries from abroad cannot be answered with product information in English.

Our approach. Its own e-commerce site, registration and label details on the product page, shipping integration; the first e-export step is taken with a single target market.

Intended outcome. Orders gathered in a single panel; the first overseas market tested on a small, measurable scale.

Frequently asked questions

Questions and answers for Hatay: office, site visits, ERP and budget

Does Pan Innovation House have an office in Hatay?

No, Pan Innovation House does not have an office in Hatay. Our head office is at Okan Towers in Şehitkamil, Gaziantep, and our second office is in London; we have no other offices. We start conversations with businesses in Hatay by video call or on WhatsApp, and carry out site discovery during a planned visit. According to Google Maps, the drive from Gaziantep takes about 2 hours to Dörtyol and Payas, about 2 hours 15 minutes to İskenderun and about 2 hours 45 minutes to Antakya.

Will you come to our plant in Dörtyol, Payas, İskenderun or Antakya?

Yes, we carry out site discovery during a planned visit. The first 30-minute call is free; the scope of an on-site discovery, and its fee if any, is agreed in writing during that call. The number of visits and travel costs over the course of the project are set out in writing in the proposal; if installation and user training require a visit to the plant, this is added to the plan. Day-to-day support is provided remotely.

Do we have to replace our existing ERP?

No. Pan Enterprise Solutions, the factory software arm of Pan Innovation House, builds production tracking, warehouse management and quality records alongside your existing ERP. Accounting, invoicing and customer and supplier accounts stay in the ERP; records kept on paper, in Excel or in messages on the shop floor move into the new system. Data exchange is set up through an API, a database view or file transfer, depending on the access your ERP allows; the method is settled during site discovery.

In steel, pipe and profile production, how is a lot matched to its material certificate?

A lot is matched to its material certificate by linking both to the same record at raw material receipt. Each billet, coil or plate receives a lot number together with the supplier's heat (cast) number; a material certificate such as EN 10204 3.1 is attached to that lot. In production, the work order in which the lot is used is recorded; at dispatch, the product's lot and certificate are found on the same screen. Weighbridge and dispatch information is transferred through integration, depending on the access the ERP allows; the aim is to avoid re-entering data by hand.

How is traceability from pallet back to orchard set up in a citrus packhouse?

Traceability starts at the point of purchase: the orchard or grower, the weighbridge ticket and the purchase date are recorded under a lot number. That lot is printed on the pallet label and linked to the location record in cold storage; goods in and out of the warehouse are scanned by barcode. Because the loading list is prepared from the same record, when an export buyer asks about a consignment you can trace it back from the pallet to the purchase ticket.

In an olive oil plant, how do you find which purchase a bottle came from?

Each olive purchase opens a lot, together with the weighbridge ticket and the grower's details. That lot is added to the same chain at transfer to tank and at filling, and the filling lot is printed on the bottle label. This lets you trace back from the filling lot on the bottle to the tank, and from there to the purchase ticket. End-of-season stock reconciliation is done from the same record; records are transferred to the accounting software through integration, depending on the access the software allows.

How is tracking of trips, vehicles and documents such as CMR notes and TIR carnets set up at an international haulage company?

Trip, vehicle and document tracking is built around a single trip record. Each trip is linked to its vehicle, driver and load and to the documents it needs, such as the CMR consignment note, the TIR carnet and customs paperwork; missing documents become visible before the vehicle sets off. The customer follows the status of their load on a tracking portal opened for them. Accounting and invoicing stay in your current software; trip information is transferred there, depending on the access the software allows.

How do we sell our olive oil, or our product with a geographical indication, online and abroad?

Pan Digital Growth, the digital growth arm of Pan Innovation House, first builds your own e-commerce site: geographical indication registration and label details, shipping options and return terms are stated clearly on the product page. For exports, you start with a single target market; that market's labelling, food regulations and shipping requirements are confirmed with your buyer or your customs broker. If you wish, marketplaces are added as a second channel alongside your own.

Our business address has changed; what should we update on maps and digital channels?

First, the address, opening hours and photos on your business's own Google Business Profile are updated. Then the address and phone number are written identically on your website, social media, marketplaces and directories. Google explains that local results are based primarily on relevance, distance and prominence. Under Google's guidelines, a profile is created with the business's real address: each real branch can have a separate profile at its own address, no profile is created for a district where there is no branch, and no virtual office or virtual address is used.

Can we benefit from government support?

Possibly; eligibility is decided by the relevant institution, and we prepare the technical scope and the budget frame in writing. Programmes from the Eastern Mediterranean Development Agency (DOĞAKA, dogaka.gov.tr, covering Hatay, Kahramanmaraş and Osmaniye), KOSGEB (kosgeb.gov.tr) and the Ministry of Industry and Technology (sanayi.gov.tr) open and close from time to time; we check the current call with you on the institution's own website. DOĞAKA calls were checked in October 2026; we make no promise of support or grants.

What determines the budget for factory software, and can we get a price over the phone?

For factory software, the budget depends on the number of modules, the systems to be integrated, the number of users and sites, and the need for site visits. We do not quote a budget over the phone; we listen to the scope and share the budget frame and timeline in writing. This information is settled in the first call and, if needed, during site discovery; the proposal then follows in writing.

How quickly will you get back to us?

We reply within one working day during office hours. You can send your request through the form, on WhatsApp or by email. In our first reply we ask a few questions to clarify what you need and agree a suitable time for a call together; we hold the call by video or by phone. If site discovery is needed, we schedule the date during that call.

Who owns the source code?

The source code we write and your data are handed over to you as defined in the contract; third-party and open-source components remain subject to their own licences. The timing and scope of the handover are written into the contract. If you have a program written by another company that can no longer be maintained, our software takeover process first examines which data and functions can be recovered from the running system.

Do you guarantee a top position on Google or in AI answers?

No. We do not determine search results or AI answers; we give no guarantee of rankings or of appearing in AI answers. We report the work we do and the indicators we measure in writing. These indicators can include search impressions, enquiries reaching your site and how AI answers mention your brand for questions we agree together.
