Raw material tracking
Record material usage in real time to prevent shortages and ensure accuracy.
What the App Is About?
Operators can use the app to track raw materials, record production quantities, scan QR codes, and report job completion and downtime. This eliminates manual reporting on paper forms or whiteboards, ensuring accurate, timely updates from the production floor.
With integration to Dynamics 365 Business Central, production data is automatically synced for inventory updates, costing, and work-in-progress tracking. This helps prevent material shortages, improves planning accuracy, and provides supervisors with full visibility of production progress.
The app strengthens accountability, accuracy, and overall efficiency across manufacturing operations, leading to smoother and more predictable production cycles.
WHO
Production operators, supervisors, and manufacturing teams who require accurate, real-time updates from the shop floor.
WHAT
A production tracking app that records material usage, scans items via QR codes, tracks work progress, and updates completion status into the ERP.
WHY
It prevents material shortages, reduces manual recording errors, increases production accuracy, and provides visibility into real-time progress.
HOW
Operators scan materials, record production quantities, update job status, and log completion—from anywhere on the shop floor—with all data syncing directly to the ERP.

Shop-Floor Production App — Connection to BC
The Shop-Floor App connects directly to Business Central to synchronise production output, material consumption, and job progress in real time. As operators scan materials or update job status, BC immediately registers changes in work orders, inventory usage, and production tracking. This eliminates manual entry, reduces reporting delays, and ensures manufacturing data is always accurate and ready for costing or planning analysis.
