Your Production Flow
Every operation. Every delay. Every rework avoided.
This is how a print job moves through your business. Clicarity gives you live visibility at every phase — and flags delays before they become client calls.
01
Order & Drawing
4 stages
Order / Enquiry Received
Customer order or enquiry received with specs, drawings, and deadline.
✓ Clicarity: Job ID created, drawings attached, production starts
Drawing Review
Engineering drawing reviewed for feasibility, tolerances, and material.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: drawing unclear — back-and-forth adds days before production starts
Design Revision Tracking
Any changes to drawing tracked with revision number and reason.
✓ Clicarity: Every revision logged — workshop always works on latest drawing
Material Planning
Raw material, consumables, and bought-out items identified per job.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: material not available when operation is ready to start
02
Procurement & Preparation
3 stages
Raw Material Procurement
Steel, aluminium, castings, or other material ordered or pulled from stock.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: vendor late — machine sits idle waiting for material
Incoming Inspection
Material checked for dimensions, grade, and quality before production.
✓ Clicarity: Rejection at incoming logged — vendor record maintained
Job Setup & Tooling
Machine fixtures, tooling, and programs prepared for the job.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: tooling not available — machine occupied with setup but not producing
03
Machining & Fabrication
7 stages
Turning / CNC Turning
Cylindrical or contoured profiles machined on lathe or CNC turning centre.
✓ Clicarity: Job tracked from queue to completion at each machine
Milling / CNC Milling
Flat, contoured, or complex surfaces machined on VMC or HMC.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: CNC queue — jobs wait 1-2 days without visibility
Drilling / Tapping
Holes drilled and threads tapped to drawing specification.
Cutting / Shearing
Sheet or plate cut to required blank dimensions.
✓ Clicarity: Quantity and material tracked, wastage recorded
Bending / Forming
Sheet metal bent or formed to required angles and profiles.
Welding / Fabrication
Components welded, assembled, or fabricated to drawing.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: welder availability — job waits between operations
Grinding / Finishing
Surface ground, deburred, or finished to required surface quality.
✓ Clicarity: Operation sequence enforced — no stage skipped accidentally
04
Vendor Operations
3 stages
Heat Treatment
Job sent to heat treatment vendor — hardening, tempering, or annealing.
✓ Clicarity: Vendor updates job status on portal — you see it live
Surface Treatment / Plating
Job sent for powder coating, plating, anodising, or painting.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: vendor returns job late — nobody chasing because nobody tracking
Vendor Inspection
Job inspected on return from vendor before continuing production.
✓ Clicarity: Vendor TAT tracked over time — data to hold them accountable
05
Quality & Dispatch
4 stages
Dimensional Inspection
Final dimensions checked against drawing tolerances using instruments.
✓ Clicarity: Rejection rate tracked, rework reason logged by operation
Assembly
Components assembled into final product or sub-assembly.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: one component missing or rejected — entire assembly held
Packing
Product packed, labelled, and prepared for dispatch.
✓ Clicarity: Packed quantity confirmed against order quantity
Dispatch
Job dispatched to customer with delivery challan.
✓ Clicarity: Dispatch timestamp, quantity, and vehicle logged. Job closed.
Where Engineering Businesses Lose Time & Margin
Real bottlenecks. Real costs. Real fixes.
These are the patterns Clicarity helps engineering businesses identify — and fix — within the first few weeks.
CNC Queue
Jobs waiting 3 days at CNC milling — no one knew until customers called
A precision engineering shop tracked time at each machine. CNC milling had an average queue wait of 3.1 days — jobs were arriving faster than they were being processed. With this data they hired a second VMC operator for two shifts. Queue wait dropped to 0.6 days. On-time delivery improved 40%.
On-time delivery improved 40% — bottleneck identified and resolved
Design Revisions
Shop floor working on old drawing revision — discovered at final inspection
An engineering workshop found that 3 out of 8 jobs had dimensional rejections traced back to outdated drawing revisions. The design team had updated drawings but nobody told the workshop. Clicarity now logs every revision and ensures the workshop only sees the current drawing. Revision-related rework eliminated.
Revision-related rework eliminated — workshop always on latest drawing
Vendor Heat Treatment
Heat treatment vendor adding 8 days to every job — invisible to owner
An engineering business in Pune tracked time at every stage including vendor operations. Heat treatment was taking 7.8 days average despite a 2-day agreed turnaround. With data, they renegotiated and added a penalty clause. Vendor TAT dropped to 2.3 days. Overall job lead time reduced by 18%.
Vendor TAT reduced from 7.8 days to 2.3 days — with data
Real Printing Business. Real Results.
""We had jobs sitting on the shop floor for 3 days between operations and nobody knew. Now our supervisor sees everything on a tablet. We found two machines that were consistently creating bottlenecks — something we had guessed but never proven.""

Questions from engineering businesses
How does Clicarity work for a printing business specifically?
Clicarity is configured around your specific print workflow — pre-press, printing, finishing, dispatch — in your terminology. Every job gets a unique ID and moves through your defined stages. You see live status, timestamps, and bottleneck alerts at every stage. The Clicarity team builds everything for you. You go live in 5 days.
Does it work for both offset and digital printing?
Yes. Clicarity works for any print process — offset, digital, wide format, screen printing, or a combination. The stages are configured around your actual workflow. If offset jobs go through plate making and digital jobs skip that stage, both can be tracked correctly under the same system.
Can it track material wastage at each stage?
Yes — with the Multi Licence. At every stage, your team logs quantity in and quantity out. Clicarity calculates the loss automatically. You see wastage by stage, by job, live — not at month-end when nothing can be done about it.
Will my press operators actually use it?
Yes. The update screen has two fields — Job ID and status. Under a minute. No training needed. GP Offset's entire team was using it from day one, including floor workers who had never used a software system before.
