Say goodbye to paper job cards. Say hello to Process History, the digital tool that turns every step of your manufacturing process into live, actionable data.
• Create controlled documents for End of Line, Ad hoc, Dispatch and Fault forms using a variety of question types – Geolocation, Mark ups, Barcode Scanning and more
• Have Full control over the version levels of your documentation with an issue log of any changes made
• Archive unused checklists easily, allowing your data to remain on dashboards or the project overview, but keeping data capture streamlined
Build
• Capture data on the web or App version of our tool – the app is available on iOS App Store and Google Play Store
• Our app allows users to capture data in an online and offline condition, ensuring continuity of operations even in low/no connectivity areas.
• Have full traceability of who has done what, and when they did it with auto-captured information and activity logs for every record captured on our system
Capture
• Analyse captured data using a variety of reporting methods – tables, bar or pie charts, indicators and more
