Everything a factory needs, in one program

Built around how a factory really works: material comes in, departments work on it, products go out – and every step leaves a number you can trust.

Production orders

Follow every order from department to department

Each order shows its steps, who works on it, the material for each step and the cost so far. When a department finishes, the next one is told.

  • Planned cost against actual cost
  • Material per step, taken from the department stock
  • Report a defect from the order

Shop floor

A stopwatch in every worker's pocket

Workers clock in, start and pause their task and finish it from their phone. Supervisors see who is working on what, live.

  • Pauses with a reason (break, waiting for material, machine down)
  • Efficiency of each worker learned from real times
  • Clock in and clock out for attendance

Attendance

A QR code at the gate

A tablet at the entrance shows a QR code and a 6-digit code that change every 20 seconds. Workers scan it with their own phone to clock in and out. The gate screen works only on the paired tablet, so nobody can open it at home.

  • Works without internet in the offline version
  • Clock-ins from outside the factory network are marked
  • The last clock-ins are shown on the gate screen

Attendance

Supervisors confirm, payroll pays confirmed time

Every clock-in waits for the department supervisor or a manager. Reject one and the time is closed and never paid. A worker who forgot his phone can be clocked in by hand, with the reason, and the manager is told.

  • One phone per worker – a borrowed phone is refused
  • New phones need the manager's approval
  • Confirm everyone at once or one by one

Department boards

Receive, assign, complete

Each supervisor has a board with the jobs waiting, in progress and done, the material needed and the material in the department.

  • Request material, supervisor approves, warehouse issues
  • Record extra material used on a job
  • Good and scrapped quantities at every step

Costing & pricing

A pricing calculator your accountant will trust

Start from the product's materials and processes, change any price, add a percentage on a row, try another quantity. Save the calculation or apply the price to the product.

  • Markup on cost or margin on price
  • Labour cost from salaries, machine cost per hour, overhead
  • Average cost or last purchase price

Order report

Planned against real, for every order

For every order: material planned (with waste) against material used, extra material, material lost in scrap, expected time against stopwatch time for each step and each worker, and the full cost.

  • On time or late, by how many days
  • Variance per step in %
  • Export and print
