Execute Production Using Job Cards

Job Cards are where production actually happens. Every operation gets a job card, assigned to one or more operators, tracked with a live timer, and managed through a visual Kanban workflow. Sequence enforcement keeps production running in the right order. Actual costs are calculated automatically , with no estimates and no manual entry.

Track every production task in one place

Get complete visibility into every production task happening across your shop floor. Supervisors see all active jobs at a glance: who is working on what, how far along each task is, and which operations need attention. Managers have full oversight while operators focus only on their assigned work, keeping everyone productive and accountable.

Focused Operator ViewsOperators see only the work assigned to them, free from distractions. Managers and supervisors retain full visibility across every stage, ensuring the right people see the right information at the right time.
Rapid Workflow ActionsMove multiple job cards through approval and assignment in a single action. Supervisors can prepare an entire shift's workload in seconds, cutting administrative overhead and getting operators onto the shop floor faster.

Kanban board for shop floor execution

See every production task as a color-coded card on an intuitive Kanban board. At a glance, supervisors know how many tasks are waiting, in flight, blocked, or done. No spreadsheets, no status meetings. Operators can start timers, record quantities, and complete jobs directly from the board.

Instant Production OverviewA glance at the board tells you which operations are waiting for assignment, which are actively running, and which are paused, without opening a single record. Bottlenecks become visible immediately so you can act before they cause delays.
Execute Without Leaving the BoardStart, pause, record output, and complete job cards directly from their Kanban card. Every operator action is a single click from the board, keeping the workflow seamless and minimizing time spent on administrative overhead.

Parallel production runs

For large production runs, split a single operation across multiple parallel job cards, each assigned to a different workstation or operator. This maximizes throughput by enabling simultaneous execution of the same operation across your entire shop floor.

Flexible Quantity DistributionDistribute work across any number of parallel job cards, ideal for multi-team runs, shift handoffs, or high-volume operations.
Consistent Batch GenerationDefine a splitting pattern once and apply it across all operations in a work order. Individual operations can still receive custom splits, giving you both consistency and flexibility when preparing a production run.

Actual time and real production costs

Every minute on the shop floor counts, for delivery and for cost. Job cards capture real production time and convert it into accurate operating costs automatically, with no manual calculation needed.

Enforced Production SequenceEach production step waits for the previous one to complete, preventing quality issues and ensuring work always flows in the right order.
Actual Operating Costs from Logged TimeWhen a job card completes, actual operating costs are calculated automatically from logged time, giving you accurate, auditable production costs without any manual entry.

Real Data from the Shop Floor, Not Estimates

Every job card closes the loop between planned production and actual output. Time logs, operator assignments, and recorded quantities flow into your work order costs automatically, giving management real numbers, not approximations.
