See every active job on one board. Each column represents a workstation, subcontractor, or supplier. Cards show progress, quantities, and live worker badges. Drag, drop, filter, and sort — your entire production floor on one screen.
Board's kanban is purpose-built for manufacturing, not adapted from project management tools like Trello, Monday, or Asana. Your production floor has unique needs — parallel processing, real-time capacity tracking, and the ability to see dozens of jobs in flight simultaneously. Our kanban is designed from the ground up for this reality.
Each column on your board represents a real workstation (CNC Cutting, Assembly, Painting, Quality Inspection) or an external resource (subcontractor, supplier, testing lab). Rather than treating jobs as abstract "tasks," Board tracks them as physical units moving through your operation.
Each card represents a job with complete production context. You see quantity tracking showing exactly how many units are in that stage. Progress percentages tell you at a glance if a job is just starting or nearly complete. Live worker badges — green initials that appear when someone clocks in — show who's currently active on each card, eliminating the guessing about capacity or availability.
Drag and drop cards between columns as jobs move through stages. Instantly reorder cards within a column to reflect priority changes. Filter by client, project, status, due date, or any combination to focus on what matters right now. The board adapts to your workflow, not the other way around.
No single view works for everyone on your team. Board gives you four view types that can be switched between instantly — and you can create unlimited saved layouts.
Columns are individual machines or stations. Perfect for floor supervisors who need to see every job moving through their specific equipment. Ideal for bottleneck analysis and load balancing.
Higher-level grouping (Fabrication, Assembly, Finishing). Useful for production managers overseeing multiple teams. See the big picture without the granular detail of individual machines.
Spreadsheet-style layout with sorting, filtering, and column customization. Export to PDF or CSV for reports. Perfect for office staff who think in rows and columns.
Create unlimited saved layouts tailored to different teams, shifts, or projects. Switch between views with one click. Each team sees exactly what they need.
Traditional project management software wasn't designed for your constraints. Here's what makes Board different:
One job order of 20 units can be split: 12 in painting, 8 in cutting. Board tracks quantity in each stage independently, handling the reality of your workflow instead of forcing artificial sequential stages.
Green initials appear on cards in real time when someone clocks in. No more asking "is anyone working on this?" You see capacity instantly and know exactly who is engaged.
Move jobs fluidly through your operation. Respond to delays or change priorities instantly. No clunky workflows or buttons — just intuitive, tactile control.
Print your board to review during stand-ups. Discuss progress on paper, then update the digital board when the meeting ends. Analog and digital in harmony.
Filter by client, project, status, date range, or any combination. Instantly focus on overdue jobs, specific customers, or jobs ready for the next stage.
Different roles need different views. Board scales across your entire organization.
Workers see their assigned workstations. Real-time card updates and worker badges keep everyone aligned on priorities.
Managers see the full picture across all departments. Filter, report, and adjust priorities from the central view.
External partners update their columns via mobile. No manual emails or calls — they log jobs in and out as work progresses.
Share a tracking link with clients. They see department-level progress without access to your sensitive data. Build trust through transparency.
The kanban board is the visual heart of Board, but it connects seamlessly with the rest of your workflow. Track time spent on each job, integrate with customer quotes, manage inventory, and more — all from one platform.
