Real-time machine shop project management app
Problem
As the shop grew, the lack of digital project tracking meant the managers of a machine shop began to feel the need to move to the next level for managing and tracking shop-floor projects. The risk of forgetting or misprioritizing was real, given the constant mental load required to keep track of every project against its delivery date.
Solution
Custom web application (mobile PWA) with two distinct views: a complete admin view of projects with a delivery calendar and statistics; the focal point is fine-grained part-by-part tracking for each project. An ultra-simple operator view on mobile lets workers update the progress of each part by project and by department. Real-time sync across all screens, mobile-first responsive, multi-level security.

Stack
« With 50 projects on the floor, we had a hard time tracking each project's progress against its delivery date. Now I see live which parts are being produced, in which department, which ones are waiting, and where we stand against delivery dates. »
