Production tracking

See every job on the floor, and every delay before it happens.

Create production orders, record stage-wise progress and daily output, and spot jobs at risk of missing their deadline while there is still time to act.

  • Production orders with stage-wise progress
  • Daily output and material consumption
  • Deadline and delay visibility

Production challenges

If progress lives in people's heads, delays stay hidden.

Phone calls and verbal updates make it hard to know which jobs are really on schedule.

  1. 01

    No clear view of job status

    Owners ask supervisors for updates because there is no single place showing where each order stands.

  2. 02

    Delays discovered too late

    A job that slipped days ago is only noticed when the customer calls about delivery.

  3. 03

    Output and targets are not compared

    Daily production is noted in registers, so comparing actual output with plan takes manual effort.

  4. 04

    Material use is hard to reconcile

    Without recorded consumption per job, wastage and variance are difficult to measure.

Key features

Plan, track and review production from one screen.

Stages, machines and roles are configured to match how your shop floor actually works.

  • Production orders

    Create orders with product, quantity, priority, start date and promised delivery date.

  • Stage-wise progress

    Define your own stages, such as cutting, fabrication, assembly and finishing, and update progress as work moves.

  • Daily output records

    Supervisors log quantities produced per shift, with targets shown alongside actuals.

  • Deadline monitoring

    Jobs approaching or crossing their due date are highlighted automatically.

  • Delay reasons

    Capture why a job slipped, such as material shortage or machine downtime, to find recurring causes.

  • Material consumption

    Record material used per job so planned and actual consumption can be compared.

How it works

From order release to completed job.

A typical production flow that we tailor to your processes.

  1. 01

    Create the production order

    Planners enter the product, quantity, priority and delivery date.

  2. 02

    Release to the floor

    Supervisors see their assigned jobs and the stages each one must pass through.

  3. 03

    Record progress and output

    Stage completion, quantities and material use are updated during each shift.

  4. 04

    Review and close

    Owners review delays and completed jobs, then hand over to quality and dispatch.

Business benefits

More predictable delivery, less chasing.

The goal is to give owners and supervisors the same, up-to-date picture of production.

  • Earlier delay detection

    At-risk jobs are flagged while there is still time to reprioritize.

  • Less time spent asking for updates

    Progress is recorded in one place and visible to authorized users.

  • Better delivery commitments

    Real output history supports more realistic promised dates.

  • Clear learning from delays

    Recorded delay reasons show which problems keep recurring.

Outcomes depend on your existing processes, data quality and how consistently the system is used by your team.

Frequently asked questions

Questions before getting started?

Every manufacturing business works differently. Here are common questions about this solution.

Can we define our own production stages?

Yes. Stages are configured around your process, whether that is cutting, welding, assembly and finishing or batch-based steps such as mixing, filling and packing.

Do supervisors need computers on the shop floor?

The interface can be designed to work on a phone, tablet or desktop. The right device setup depends on your floor layout and how your team prefers to enter data.

How are delayed jobs identified?

Jobs are compared against their promised delivery date and current progress. Those at risk or overdue are highlighted. The exact rules are agreed during planning.

Can production be linked to inventory?

Where appropriate, material consumption recorded in production can update stock balances in the inventory module.

Does this require machine sensors or IoT hardware?

No. Production tracking here is based on records entered by your team. Machine integration is a separate requirement that can be assessed if you need it.

Let's discuss your requirements
