Key Challenges In The Industry
Businesses are often spread across multiple polarising systems which can be difficult to navigate and have a consistent flow of information.

We extract all relevant product resources to ensure that one platform can provide value and visualisation of all aspects throughout the manufacturing process. Our Bill of Materials offers assembly and subassembly tracking of parts.
Smart Shop Floor can seamlessly integrate with nesting and cutting software to keep record of nested/cut parts in the production manufacturing side of the business so that live tracking of jobs is always up to date and record of operators KPIs such as steel usage or qty cut/nested is recorded on a daily basis.
Operators instantly receive BoM lists related to their processes and can simply tick off items as they complete tasks, providing live updates to management and engineering teams.
Inventory can easily be integrated with Smart Shop Floor recording all available items and sending records of consumption back to your ERP or inventory management system to ensure live tracking of inventory records and job allocation of parts.
