Key Benefits for Manufacturing Job Shops

Barcode Work Order Tracking

Use barcodes and RFIDs on the shop floor. Get real-time job visibility, better labor and costing, increased shop floor efficiency. Mobile app support.
Why it matters: You need answers now.

Barcode Expense Tracking

Scan both time and materials for comprehensive reports on everything you use on the shop floor. Learn the real cost of both labor and materials.
Why it matters: Don't forget additional expenses.

Work In Progress

Get real-time WIP visibility. Reduce lead times. Enables better job prioritization and load balancing.Reduces last-minute expediting and schedule chaos.
Why it matters: Manage your beehive of activity.

Employee Status

Real-time labor tracking, materials, and overhead as work progresses. Estimates vs. actuals. Real-time view of who's clocked in, or actively working. Address labor or cost issues immediately.
Why it matters: Every hour counts.

Work Orders

Know exactly where each order is on the shop floor. Eliminates manual tracking, whiteboards, and status meetings. Early identification of delayed or at-risk work orders. Reduces chaos and unplanned interruptions. Advanced dashboards and analytics.
Why it matters: Things slip through the cracks.

JIT Inventory AND BOM's

Scan inventory and BOMs to subtract items from inventory. When inventory is low, get notified by email, or restock automatically with a script.
Why it matters: Don't run short.

Job Status

Instantly know whether jobs are started, in progress, on hold, or complete. Early detection of delayed or at-risk jobs. Live job status supports informed decisions. Automatic scheduling and alerts.
Why it matters: Quick decisions required live data.

Real-Time Reports

Live reports. Easy identification of bottlenecks, delays, and inefficiencies. Decisions based on facts. KPIs like on-time delivery, utilization, efficiency, and scrap. Cost-to-date and final job profitability. Labor cost overruns.
Why it matters: Yelling across the shop floor sucks.

Scripts

Compute KPIs for work in progress, replentish inventory, update databases, or just run background tasks on a periodic basis. Scripts extend your reach.
Why it matters: Integrations with payroll or ERP.

Tool Control

Check tools out for accountability. Instantly know which tools are available, in use, or due back. Ensures tools are replaced or serviced at the right time. Prevents unexpected failures and downtime. Prevents jobs from being scheduled without required tooling.

Standard Time Manufacturing Software
Track time to projects and tasks. Bill clients with custom rates for each project and employee, start and stop timers, submit timesheets, and close out projects. You can do this! Time tracking software features to meet individual or corporate needs: Track time to a full project and subproject heirarchy, or just your own to-do list. Invoice clients, bill internal clients, or just track employee hours. Document your time for reporting and status.
You can optionally view employee hours in a nice weekly timesheet. Display seven days, or a full pay period. Want to take it further? Show time and expenses in calendars and charts.
Projects, jobs or work order can have a full hierarchy of tasks. These represent your manufacturing steps or processes. Or, they may represent engineering tasks. Each task can use start, finish and due dates, estimated duration, and dependency links. View tasks in a Gantt chart.
Employee time off is in there too! Set up accrual rules for vacation, sick, and personal PTO. Standard Time automatically accrues hours for each employee. Now request time off and subtract from balances when approved.
