Late orders, spotted before the customer calls.
Orders, machines, materials and people in one live view, so you can see which job is late, why, and what to move, before the customer calls to ask.
Sound familiar?
- 1
You find out an order is late when the customer calls.
- 2
Every department has its own sheet, and none of them agree.
- 3
The morning meeting is spent finding out what happened yesterday.
Watch it happen.
This morning’s sheets
- Orders: order 55 due Friday
- Stores: steel short by 2 tonnes
- Floor: line 2 down 3 hours yesterday
On one screen
- Order 55Will be 2 days late.
- WhySteel is short, and line 2 lost 3 hours.
- What to doMove it to line 1. Buy steel today.
Tuesday morning, not Friday evening.
A made-up example. Yours would use your own orders, systems and names.
How it works.
First
Sheets everywhere
Orders, stores, the floor and dispatch each keep their own.
Then
Pulled together
Software reads them all and keeps one live picture of every order.
And so
Late jobs, flagged
You see what is slipping and why, while there is still time to fix it.
A normal day, before and after.
Today:An hour-long meeting to find out what happened.
A one-page report is already on your phone.
Today:Nobody notices order 55 is slipping.
Order 55 is flagged, with the reason.
Today:The customer calls, angry.
You called the customer on Tuesday.
What changes.
Every order’s real status, live, in one place.
Late jobs flagged early, with the reason.
A morning report that writes itself.
Once it runs, you can also…
- 1
Promise delivery dates you can keep.
- 2
See where time is really lost on the floor.
- 3
Run the factory from your phone when you are away.

Questions people ask
Do we have to stop using our sheets?
Not on day one. We read from the sheets you have and replace them one at a time, as the team is ready.
Who can see it?
Whoever you choose: the owner, the managers, or a screen on the shop floor.
How long does it take?
A first version usually runs within weeks, starting with the orders that matter most.
