Job Tracking Software
Job tracking software helps manufacturers set more accurate delivery dates and ultimately creates happier customers. Job tracking software should provide instant visibility into work in progress. Browser-based applications, becoming more and more popular due to their ease of configurablility and lower cost, can gather data with a number of devices, including RF (radia frequency) tracking devices. With scanning, jobs can be tracked at each stage or station they progress through.
Highly configurable systems are outpacing canned systems and providing a path for innovation. Advancements in browser based technology are enabling agile deployment strategies.
Manufacturing software helps manufacturers improve production performance by providing visable control and reporting across the enterprise.
These applications can be integrated with inventory, reporting and accounting systems and some vendors will design interfaces specifically for customers' to access and check on job progress themselves at their own discretion. Integration is crucial since most organizations already have some software systems in place for accounting, inventory and such.
There are a few vendors offering browser based solutions for job tracking, such as Tuppas Software, Acumen Data Systems, Plexus Online and ShopFloorReporting.com.
