Plan the Schedule.
Run the Floor.
Two modes, one hub. Drag operations onto a visual timeline, auto-schedule with one click, then dispatch work to your shop floor - all with real-time KPIs, smart alerts, and a dedicated worker app.
The Visual Timeline Scheduler
See every operation across every work centre on one interactive timeline. Drag to schedule, resize to adjust, and auto-fill gaps with one click.
How Production Hub Works
From releasing orders to tracking completion - your production workflow in four steps.
Release Orders
When an order is ready for production, release it to create production orders with operations and materials.
Schedule on the Timeline
Drag operations from the queue onto the timeline, or click Auto-fill to schedule everything respecting capacity.
Control the Shop Floor
Switch to Shop Floor mode and see every work centre at a glance. Start operations, or assign resources.
Workers Track on Mobile
Operators use the Worker App to see their queue, start and complete operations- synced in real-time.
Every Work Centre at a Glance
The Shop Floor view shows a responsive grid of work centre cards. See which stations are running, idle, or have problems. Expand any card to view the full queue, assign resources, and start the next operation.
Status at a Glance
Each card shows Running, Ready, Idle, or Problem status with queue depth, current operation, and elapsed time.
Resource Assignment
When a work centre requires a specific machine or operator, a picker appears before starting. Assign the right resource every time.
Smart Alerts
Overdue operations and material shortages surface as badges directly on the cards. Click an alert to jump straight to the affected work centre.

A Dedicated Mobile App for Your Operators
A dedicated mobile app for production workers. See the operation queue, start and complete tasks with one tap, track time, and run quality checks - all from a phone in their pocket.
My Queue, My Work
Workers see operations assigned to their work centre. Filter by status, search by order number, and jump to the next priority item.
One-Tap Actions
Start, complete, or skip operations with a single tap. No navigating through menus or modals.
Built-In Timer
Time tracking starts automatically when an operation begins. Workers see elapsed time and estimated remaining duration.

Your Schedule Has a Brain. It Sees Problems Before You Do.
CutFlow continuously scans your production schedule for risks and suggests recovery actions, so you fix problems before they hit the shop floor.
Deadline Risk Detection
Scans your schedule every hour. When an order is falling behind: not enough time, CNC bottleneck, missing materials - you get a warning with exactly what's at risk and why.
Smart Recovery Plans
Don't just see the problem, fix it. Brain suggests operation rescheduling, shows a before/after preview, and applies the fix in one click.
Pull Forward & Priority Boost
Spots idle capacity and suggests pulling operations forward. Detects urgent orders that need a priority boost to meet their deadline.
Daily Shift Briefing
Start every day knowing what matters. At-risk orders, idle work centres, suggested priorities, and schedule accuracy insights - all in one morning summary.

Stop Guessing Capacity. Start Managing by Data.
See how UK workshops transformed from whiteboard chaos to real-time production control.
Whiteboard Planning
Schedules written in marker, erased and rewritten daily. No history, no capacity validation, no automatic updates.
Manual Capacity Math
Calculating hours, checking machine availability, tracking materials - all by hand or in complex spreadsheets. Mistakes = delays.
Zero Real-Time Data
What's actually happening right now? No idea until end of shift. Can't react to delays, breakdowns, or rush orders.
Visual Timeline Scheduling
Drag-and-drop operations onto work centre lanes. See capacity and conflicts instantly. Schedule in minutes, not hours.
Auto-Schedule Engine
One click fills your entire schedule. Respects work centre capacity, material availability, and dependencies automatically.
Real-Time Shop Floor Dispatch
Every work centre shows queue depth, current job, and next up. Workers see their tasks on mobile. Everyone stays synchronized.
Production Tracked. Profit Known.
Your shop floor timers don't just track operations - they track labor costs. See real-time profitability as orders progress through production.
