Production Management

User-based roles simplify your view of manufacturing production processes. Plant floor workers, using a tablet or smart phone, can update job status without leaving their work station. Managers can create BOMs or issue change orders without leaving their office – or even coming into the office. Be more productive even if you wear a lot of different hats. Because no matter what you do, there’s a screen for that.
