Benefits
Give Your Team the Right Tools
Everything your production team needs to stay productive and informed.
Clarity and Direction in Work Assignments
Automated scheduling gets the plan out to your people so they can jump on it. They get a balanced, realistic workload for the day that gives them clarity on priorities and pace.
Real-time Connection Between Shop Floor and Back Office
No more information black holes between office and shop floor. Digitising information flow and processes means that critical information now flows automatically between your two business halves.
Turn Wasted Minutes Into Productive Hours
The full suite of tools makes operators more efficient, saving 45-60 minutes per operator, per shift. We create these savings by reducing the time burden of manual paperwork, one-way communication and unproductive downtime.
Catch Issues Early, Fix Them Fast
Problems get spotted earlier and solved quicker. When something's not right, the right people know about it immediately and can jump in before small issues become big delays. Less waiting around, less rework, more time actually making things.
