Simplify Shop Floor Time Tracking in Business Central

In this most recent webinar “Improve and Simplify Shop Floor Time Tracking in Business Central”, Mark walks through what you need in your shop operations, how to capture labour, consumption, output, quality, and rework in real time, and how this information feeds back into Business Central so you can see exactly what is happening.

The session highlighted the following capabilities:

  • Reduce costly rework: Track labour and apply root-cause codes to identify where rework is coming from.
  • Real-time shop floor visibility: Capture labour, output, scrap, and downtime through multiple input methods, including barcodes.
  • Flexible deployment options: Use fixed terminals, tablets, or mobile devices, supported in Business Central.
  • Auto-split labour across orders: Batch clock-off across multiple production orders, with time split proportionally.
  • Easy document access: Link drawings, instructions, or external docs to production orders.
  • Timecard approvals and reporting: Review and validate timecards with supervisor approval, and analyze shop performance with Power BI.
