How it works
One record for every order, from enquiry to the truck.
Sales promises dates alone. Stores hides shortages. Supervisors guess. Old ERPs try to fix this by making operators type, and the data goes bad. Prodman uses seven simple steps, recorded by the people already doing the work.
- Order registered onceOne permanent job number
- Artwork approvedProduction locked until sign-off
- Job cards issuedMaterial and machines assigned
- Floor logs outputTwo scans, two numbers, five seconds
- Dashboard updatesLive stages, load and alerts
- Dispatch checkedPacked against the promise
- Loop closesTrue scrap, machine use and job cost
Every step is recorded by the people doing the work. Nobody types a report.
The full loop
Seven steps. One true record.
No more verbal handoffs. Every step is checked and recorded.
01
1. The order gets one job number
Portal, email PO or phone call, the job is entered once. It gets one job number for life. Nobody types it again or keeps a second copy.
02
2. Artwork gets approved first
Production stays locked until the buyer approves the proof. Artwork problems get sorted on day one, not at 7 pm on delivery day. A changed file goes back for approval.
03
3. Planning makes the job cards
After sign-off, planning works out sheet sizes and farmas, takes material from the godown and assigns each batch to a machine. A job card prints with a QR code.
04
4. The floor logs output in five seconds
At the machine, the operator scans the job card, scans the machine and enters good and scrap counts. Nothing to read or type. Work in progress updates across the plant.
05
5. Your dashboard updates live
Your dashboard and Gantt chart update as work moves. Slow orders, stopped machines and low material show up as alerts, hours before a delivery is at risk.
06
6. Dispatch is checked against the promise
Packing is checked against the ordered quantity, not a guess. If you are 12 units short, Prodman warns the packing supervisor right away. On-time, in-full becomes a real number.
07
7. You see the true cost
Scrap by stage, machine use and operator output are recorded on their own. All of it comes from real work at the machines, so you can price the next job with confidence.
Two screens, one record
Five seconds at the machine. Full control at your desk.
The operator needs it simple. You need the full picture. One live record serves both.

The owner dashboard
Prodman needs a network connection to save floor entries. If Wi-Fi drops, the worker sees it at once, so no entry is lost quietly. We check your Wi-Fi coverage during setup.
Common questions
How Prodman fits into a normal day on the floor.
Does the operator really never type words or read prompts?
Yes. The operator does two scans with the tablet camera, then taps good and scrap counts on a big keypad. Prodman works out the stage, shift, machine and work in progress. No typing means no pushback.
What happens if our Wi-Fi goes down during production?
The tablet shows a clear message that the entry was not saved. Nothing gets lost without anyone knowing. We make sure your floor has good Wi-Fi before you go live.
How does Prodman stop an operator entering an impossible count?
Each stage only accepts the right machines, so binding cannot be logged on an offset press. Each stage also has output limits. If a count is faster than the machine can run, a supervisor must approve it.
