Manufacturing
Automate and audit every step of the production process with PaperTrail workflow, built on years of industry knowledge of South African manufacturing.
Complete management of the production process
The problem. Job cards, technical drawings and quality sign-offs move across the factory floor on paper. When a step is missed or a sign-off is lost, nobody can say who did what, and when.
- Automate the production process through sophisticated workflow.
- Each step of the production process is auditable and controlled.
- Our industry knowledge of the manufacturing industry allows for integration of technical drawings, for the production process.
- Manage job card input via intelligent forms and signatures.
What changes
- 01 Production on workflow. Each step of the production process is automated and controlled.
- 02 Drawings where the work happens. Technical drawings are integrated into the production process.
- 03 Job cards without paper. Intelligent forms and signatures capture job card input, so every step is auditable.
Built for quality and production managers
The difference it makes, in numbers.
“If a sign-off is missing, I can’t ship, and I can’t prove who did what.”
- 100%of job cards and quality sign-offs captured digitallyTypical result
- 30%fewer production delays caused by missing paperworkTypical result
- InstantISO 9001 audit evidenceTypical result
- 0paper job cards on the factory floorTypical result
The maths
Fifty job cards a day, each saving 10 minutes of capturing and chasing, frees more than 2,000 hours a year, and a single avoided recall can be worth millions.
Typical results are what PaperTrail aims for in a well-run rollout; yours depend on your volumes and processes. Rand figures are illustrative.
Scout AI for Manufacturing
