Your Production Flow
Every block. Every system. Every milestone tracked.
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
Design & Material
4 stages
Contract & Specification
Vessel contract signed, class notations and specification confirmed.
✓ Clicarity: Project ID created, block structure defined, milestones set
Design & Classification Approval
Structural, piping, electrical, and outfitting drawings approved by class.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: class comments — production cannot start without approved drawings
Steel & Material Procurement
Steel plates, profiles, piping, and equipment ordered per approved BOM.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: steel delivery late — fabrication schedule shifts
Incoming Inspection
Materials tested and certified before entering production.
✓ Clicarity: Material cert recorded — full traceability from steel heat to vessel
02
Block Fabrication
4 stages
Steel Cutting & Preparation
Plates and profiles cut using CNC plasma or laser per nesting.
✓ Clicarity: Steel weight in/out tracked — cutting waste visible per block
Sub-Assembly
Small sub-assemblies fabricated — brackets, stiffeners, frames.
Block Assembly
Full blocks assembled and welded from sub-assemblies.
✓ Clicarity: Block completion status tracked — dimensional inspection required
Block Pre-Outfitting
Piping, cable trays, HVAC, and equipment installed in block before erection.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: outfitting incomplete — block erected with access issues
03
Erection & Hull Construction
4 stages
Block Erection
Blocks erected on slipway or dry dock — aligned and welded.
✓ Clicarity: Erection sequence tracked — block cannot erect without pre-outfitting sign-off
Hull Welding & Fairing
Hull welding completed, fairness checked per classification requirements.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: weld repair — UT and radiography findings add weeks
Hull Blast & Paint
Hull blasted and coated per painting specification.
✓ Clicarity: Paint system stages tracked — each coat confirmed before next
Launch / Float-Out
Vessel launched or floated out from dry dock.
✓ Clicarity: Launch milestone logged — outfitting phase initiated
04
Outfitting & Systems
3 stages
Machinery & Equipment Installation
Main engine, generators, pumps, and equipment installed and aligned.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: equipment delivery late — outfitting programme impacted
Piping & Electrical Installation
All piping systems, cable runs, and electrical panels installed.
✓ Clicarity: System-wise completion tracked — pressure and continuity tests logged
Interior Fit-Out
Accommodation, navigation, and safety equipment installed.
✓ Clicarity: Compartment-wise completion tracked — sea trial preparation visible
05
Trials & Delivery
3 stages
Dock Trials
All systems tested alongside — machinery, electrical, and safety.
✓ Clicarity: Dock trial punch list tracked — open items visible before sea trials
Sea Trials
Vessel sea trialled — speed, manoeuvring, and system performance verified.
✓ Clicarity: Sea trial results logged — non-conformances tracked to closure
Delivery
Vessel delivered to owner with classification certificates and documentation.
✓ Clicarity: Full vessel history from keel to delivery preserved
Where Shipyards Lose Schedule & Margin
Real bottlenecks. Real costs. Real fixes.
These are the patterns Clicarity helps businesses identify and fix within the first few weeks.
Pre-Outfitting
Outfitting done after erection in confined space — cost 3x more
Blocks were being erected before pre-outfitting was complete. Pipe and cable work in erected blocks required working in confined, restricted spaces. Outfitting cost 3 times higher post-erection than pre-erection. With Clicarity, pre-outfitting completion is a mandatory stage before erection. Rework cost in confined spaces reduced 45%.
Outfitting rework in confined spaces reduced 45%
Steel Delivery
Steel delivery 4 weeks late — fabrication hall idle
Steel procurement was not being tracked against the fabrication schedule. A 4-week steel delivery delay left the fabrication hall idle — workers deployed but no material to process. With Clicarity, delivery commitments are tracked with flag dates. Escalation triggered at week 1. Recovery planned before idle time compounds.
Steel delivery escalation triggered at week 1 — not week 4
Punch List
Sea trial delayed 3 weeks — dock trial punch list not cleared
A vessel went to sea trials with 38 open dock trial punch list items. Sea trials had to be postponed 3 weeks while items were resolved. With Clicarity, every punch list item has a responsible person, a status, and a timestamp. Punch list visibility accelerates closure. Sea trial delays from open punch lists: eliminated.
Sea trial delays from open punch lists eliminated
Real Printing Business. Real Results.
""Pre-outfitting was our bottleneck — blocks were going to erection without pipe and cable work done, which meant we did it in a confined space at double the cost. Now outfitting completion is a mandatory stage before erection.""

Questions from shipbuilding 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.
See every block. Every milestone. Before the delay compounds.
