Module 07 — Workforce & Labor

The hours your crew works, priced to the job.

Workers punch in, the clock runs, and those hours don't just sit in a timesheet — they roll straight into part costing and feed the production schedule. One place for who's on the clock, what they're working on, and what that labor actually costs.

What's inside

Four moving parts, one labor record

From the worker master to the punch to the schedule, every piece writes to the same labor log — so the cost roll-up and the production board always see the same hours.

The kiosk

A shared clock by the shop door

Nobody needs their own login. One dedicated kiosk user locks a tablet to the punch screen, and every active worker with a PIN appears as a tile.

Tap & PIN

Tap your tile, enter a 4–8 digit PIN, then Clock In, Go on Break, End Break or Clock Out. A few wrong PINs locks that worker out briefly.

Live status chips

Counts at the top show who's on the clock, on break, and off. With a bigger crew, a search box and letter filter appear automatically.

Locked to the clock

The Kiosk Only privilege pins that login to the punch screen — safe to leave running all day, with nothing else exposed.

My hours this week

PIN-protected, it shows daily in/out times, breaks and a weekly total. An open shift isn't counted until the worker clocks out.

How labor connects

Every hour lands in the cost roll-up

When a worker punches in with a job linked, the hours flow into that production order's labor cost on their own — the worker's hourly rate doing the math. No separate timesheet to reconcile; the labor line on the job is real measured time.

  • Rate × hours — the worker's hourly rate turns clocked time into a dollar labor cost on the order.
  • Edit a punch, fix the cost — editing a job-linked punch updates the matching labor log automatically.
  • Or log it by hand — shops that don't punch per job can enter hours for a worker, station and date.
Feeds Manufacturing & ERP

Plans feed the production board

Scheduled assignments aren't a separate plan living in someone's head. Each worker sees their jobs as badges in the My Week card on My Workspace, and Auto Setup projects machine and employee utilization across open orders before you commit a thing.

  • Capacity, not guesswork — utilization across machines and people, with on-time or will-miss flags per order.
  • My Week — planned hours and job badges land on each worker's workspace for the day.
  • Apply when ready — Auto Setup only writes the schedule when you press Apply.

Why it matters

Labor stops being the missing line

01

Real labor in every quote

When you quote the next job, you finally know what the last one's labor actually cost — measured from punches, not estimated from memory.

02

One record, no re-keying

The punch, the schedule and the cost roll-up read the same labor log. Edit a shift once and the dollars follow — no second system to reconcile.

03

The crew's chores don't slip

Daily tasks land on My Workspace by location, get checked off and timed, and Task Time Analysis shows how long they really take — so cleanup and safety checks happen without anyone chasing them.

See it live

Watch a punch turn into a labor cost

We'll clock a worker onto a real order and show the hours roll into the job — rate, schedule and all.
