At Risk01The Challenge
Manufacturing Is Too Complex for Spreadsheets
You're running production across multiple work centers. Materials are moving. Workers are building. Deadlines are approaching. And you're trying to track it all with clipboards, spreadsheets, and hope.
- 01Guessing when orders will actually ship
- 02Discovering material shortages only when production stops
- 03Unable to see which jobs are on schedule and which are falling behind
- 04Tracking labor and machine time manually (or not at all)
02
How It Works
Purpose-built features that solve these exact problems.
02
Work Order Management
Create work orders from sales orders automatically. Track progress through every production stage. Know exactly where each job is and what it needs to move forward.
03
Bill of Materials (BOM) Control
Define what goes into every product you make. Track components, sub-assemblies, and finished goods. The system knows what you need and alerts you when you're running short.
04
Labor Tracking
Clock in and out of specific jobs. Track labor hours by work order, by employee, by work center. Finally understand your true labor costs per product.
05
Material Requirements Planning
The system calculates exactly what raw materials you need based on your production schedule. Generate purchase orders automatically. Never stop production waiting for materials.
03
What You'll Gain
Tangible improvements that impact your bottom line.
- 01Hit Deadlines Consistently
Know which jobs are at risk before they're late. Reallocate resources proactively. Ship on time, every time.
- 02Reduce Material Waste
Accurate tracking means accurate usage. Identify where materials are being wasted. Make improvements based on data, not guesses.
- 03Optimize Labor
See which jobs take longer than they should. Train workers on best practices. Schedule more efficiently. Get more done with the same team.
- 04Improve Quality
Track defect rates by product, by worker, by work center. Find patterns. Fix root causes. Build better products.
- 05Scale Production Intelligently
Understand your true capacity. Know when you need to hire, buy equipment, or add shifts. Growth decisions based on reality, not hope.
04
Real-World Scenarios
See how this works in practice.
Scenario 1
Rush Order
A major customer calls with an urgent order. Instead of promising a date and hoping, you check the system. You can see that Work Center 2 has a gap Thursday afternoon. You slot the rush job in, push two non-critical jobs to Friday, and ship on time.
Scenario 2
Material Shortage Averted
Your MRP system alerts you Monday morning: based on current production schedule, you'll run out of a critical component by Wednesday. You call the supplier, expedite delivery, and production never stops.
Scenario 3
Quality Issue Identified
Your reject rate on a product line suddenly spikes from 2% to 8%. The system shows all rejects came from one work center, on one shift, over three days. You investigate, find a machine calibration issue, fix it immediately.
05
The Transformation
From chaos to clarity.
Before
- 70% on-time delivery
- Clipboards and spreadsheets
- Material surprises
- Unknown true costs
- Reactive firefighting
- Capacity guesswork
After
- 96% on-time delivery
- Real-time visibility
- Proactive alerts
- True cost clarity
- Planned production
- Data-driven scaling
06
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions.
01Is this only for large manufacturers?
No. Whether you make 10 units a day or 10,000, the system scales to fit. Many small manufacturers see the biggest impact because they go from no system to complete visibility.
02How long does implementation take?
Most manufacturers are running production through the system within 1-2 weeks. Start with one product line, expand from there.
03Can I track custom/made-to-order production?
Absolutely. Create unique BOMs for custom orders, track one-off production runs, and manage prototypes alongside standard products.
04What about job shop vs. production line operations?
We handle both. Job shops get flexible work order routing. Production lines get repetitive manufacturing tools. Or mix both if that's your reality.
05What reporting is available?
Extensive. Production efficiency, labor utilization, material usage variance, on-time delivery rates, quality metrics, and more. Plus custom report builder for specific needs.
