Production board setup
Live production tracking, set up for you and adopted in days
Board is our production-tracking tool for small manufacturers. It shows where every job is, lets your team update status from the floor on their phones, and gives your customers a live view of their order. Board Launch is the done-for-you setup: we configure it to how you actually work, move your existing jobs in, train your team, and get you running, usually within days, not months.
You do not have to figure the software out on your own. We set it up around your production, not the other way round.
Why Board, and why a guided launch
Most small manufacturers track production on a whiteboard, a spreadsheet, or a chat group. It works until several jobs run at once and priorities shift daily. Then status lives in people’s heads, customers chase updates, and jobs slip between stages.
Board fixes the visibility problem without the weight of ERP. But software only helps if it is set up to match your real flow and your team actually uses it. That is what the launch is for. We have implemented these systems many times, so we get you to the point of value fast and make sure it sticks.
What you get
- Board configured to your production stages, so the board mirrors how work really moves through your shop, including subcontractor steps and multiple sites if you have them.
- Your existing jobs imported, so you start from your real workload, not an empty screen.
- Your team set up and trained, office and shop floor, including the mobile updates from the floor.
- The client tracking view enabled, so customers can see order status without ringing you.
- Go-live support, so the first week runs smoothly and questions get answered quickly.
The outcome: live visibility of every order, from day one, that your team will actually keep up to date.
How it works
- Quick fit check. A short call to confirm Board suits your flow. If a process change or a custom build would serve you better, we will say so.
- Configuration. We set up your stages, users and the client view, and import your current jobs.
- Training. Hands-on sessions for the office and the floor, kept short and practical.
- Go-live and support. You start using it on live work, with us on hand through the first week.
Done remotely, so there is no waiting and no travel cost.
What it costs
A one-off setup fee of EUR 750 (Ireland and UK) or 3,500 zl (Poland), plus your Board subscription (chosen to fit your team size).
If you have already done a Production Visibility Audit with us, the audit fee is credited toward this setup.
Who this is for
Board Launch is a good fit if you:
- run made-to-order or small-batch production with several jobs at once
- want live production visibility quickly and affordably
- have a fairly standard flow that an off-the-shelf tool can match
- want your team updating status from the floor, and your customers able to self-serve order status
If your process is genuinely unusual, or you need Board connected to other systems, that is what Board Integration and Custom Build are for. Not sure which fits? Start with an audit.
What happens after
- Board Integration, if you want Board connected to your accounting, shop or other systems so they share data.
- Custom Build, if you outgrow off-the-shelf and need something tailored.
- Care Plan, ongoing support and small improvements so Board keeps earning its place.
Common questions
How fast can we be live? For a standard setup, days rather than weeks.
Do you come on site? No, the launch is done remotely. Training is over video and works well for office and floor teams.
What does it cost to run? The one-off setup fee plus a monthly Board subscription based on your team size.
What if Board is not the right fit? We will tell you at the fit-check call and point you to the better option, whether that is an integration, a custom build, or a simple process change.
