Common Shop Floor
Management Challenges

Whether your operations are in one building or spread across multiple locations —
Kladana Shop Floor App keeps everyone aligned
🚫 Manual Task Coordination

Whiteboards, paper job cards, and spreadsheets don’t scale. They delay communication and invite errors

❌ Lack of Real‑Time Visibility

Managers don’t know which tasks are in progress, completed, or stalled until it’s too late

📋 No Digital Record of Work Performed

It’s difficult to verify who completed what — or when

🧾 Inefficient Payroll Tracking

Piece‑work or shift‑based wages are hard to calculate without structured data

📦 Unreported Material Issues

Excess material usage or substitutions go unrecorded, disrupting future planning

Shop Floor Software Success Stories

FAQ about Shop Floor
Management Software

Shop floor software helps manufacturers manage production tasks, assign jobs to workers, and track real‑time progress directly from the factory floor. It connects planning in the office with execution on the floor — digitally.

Kladana’s Shop Floor App is a browser‑based tool for production employees. It allows workers to view tasks, mark them as complete, log output, view instructions, and report material usage — all in real time, from any device.

Yes. Employees only need access to the Shop Floor App. You can assign the "Shop Floor employee" role in Kladana, so they don’t need full ERP access.

  • Assigned performer
  • Required materials
  • Estimated duration
  • Instructions
  • Optional files or notes
