Managing delays & cost

Real time information is one of the main drivers for managing delays and costs, this is were digital shopfloor transactions make all the difference today. Time entries, goods receipts, adjustments in delivery time that endanger your milestones or cause budget overrun’s all trigger immediate red flags on your production dashboard on any device. Purchase order creation and Invoice processing with multitier approval processes can be executed in minutes because the whole team is collaborating online. You can do the approvals assigned to you anywhere on your mobile phone with a swipe. The drastic reduction in response time provides real time information and allows you to take mitigating actions before the damage is done.
