Real-time updates
Updated at end of shift — or end of day. Or whenever someone remembers.
Updated the moment a stage changes. By the operator at the machine.
Who can update
Usually one person. On one device. Wherever that file is.
Any operator, any phone, any location. No file to find or open.
Multiple users at once
Two people editing = version conflict. Data gets lost.
50 operators updating simultaneously — no conflict, no loss.
Mobile access
Opening Excel on a phone is painful. Nobody does it on the floor.
Built for mobile. Update from any Android phone in 10 seconds.
Wastage tracking
Manual formulas. Easily broken. Usually wrong by end of month.
Auto-calculated at every stage. No formulas to maintain.
Alerts & bottlenecks
You find out a job is stuck when someone complains.
Any job stagnating too long triggers an alert automatically.
Vendor jobs
Email a spreadsheet. Hope they fill it. Hope they send it back.
Vendor updates their own status. You see it live.
Audit trail
Formula overwrites are invisible. History is gone.
Every update is timestamped and attributed. Complete trail forever.
