02 / What you can try

The daily problems, solved.

Take an order as the estimator, slot it onto the schedule as operations, make it on the shop floor tablet, then follow it as the customer. It all joins up.

  • Promise date check

    Ask "can we deliver by" before you commit. The answer comes from the real load on the machines the job needs and when its material arrives, with the reason shown.

  • Rush job preview

    Drop an urgent job onto the schedule and see every order that would now be late before you save, then tell those customers in one click.

  • Live job tracking

    Every job shows its current operation, parts done, time used against the quote and a forecast finish, updated from the shop floor tablets.

  • Traceability to the certificate

    Heat and batch numbers follow material from goods in to dispatch, so the certificate of conformity and the material certificate pack are ready when the job ships.

  • Customer portal

    Your customers check where their order is, download certificates and delivery notes, and reorder, without ringing you.

  • Purchase order reader

    Choose a customer purchase order and see its lines checked against the quote, with price, quantity, revision and date differences flagged before it becomes an order.

  • Ask the factory

    Ask what will be late this week, how loaded the laser is or where an order has got to, and get an answer from the live data. Anything it cannot answer goes to a person.
