Floor tasking
Work orders and tasks on tablets at each line or cell.

Your ERP knows the order. Does anyone know what's happening on the floor?
Manufacturers often have an ERP for planning and accounting, while the floor runs on whiteboards, spreadsheets and radios. CAB can build the controlled workflow layer in between.
Tell CAB How Your Business Works
You don't need to know what app to build. Tell CAB what's slowing the business down.
Sound familiar?
What's slowing you down?
Tell CAB How Your Business Works
Check what applies — or skip it. CAB will confirm with you, not assume.
If several of these sound familiar, the problem may not be a lack of software. It may be too much disconnected software.
What's actually happening
Where the friction comes from.
Plants generate constant operational signals, but they rarely reach decision-makers in time. The gap between the ERP and the floor becomes a reporting burden and a source of avoidable downtime.
What this may be costing
The cost hides in everyday work.
Hours lost to re-typing and chasing information
Leads and customers that slip between tools
Owner time pulled into admin instead of growth
Capacity capped by manual coordination
Every business is different. CAB only puts numbers on this with figures you provide during discovery.
Best first move
Start small. Prove it. Then expand.

Keep what works
Keep what works. Replace what doesn't.
Replace
Whiteboards, paper logs and spreadsheet reports.
Connect
Your ERP, maintenance system and quality software where interfaces allow.
Build around
Your ERP stays the system of record; CAB builds the floor-level workflow layer.
CAB's job is the right operating architecture — not rebuilding tools that already work. Examples include QuickBooks, Gusto, Stripe, an existing point-of-sale system or an industry system you depend on.
Example end-to-end workflow
What a day could look like.
- 1
A work order releases from the ERP to Line 3's tablet.
- 2
An operator logs a jam with a reason in two taps.
- 3
After repeated jams that week, the supervisor is alerted to the pattern.
- 4
Quality places a hold on a batch; corrective action is approved and tracked.
- 5
Completed counts sync back to the ERP at shift end.
What changes operationally
Before, after — and what you still control.
Before
Supervisors spend hours compiling reports.
After
Dashboards update from the floor in real time.
You still control
Managers decide what's measured.
Before
Downtime reasons are guessed after the fact.
After
Reasons are captured when the stop happens.
You still control

Before
Recurring problems hide in paper logs.
After
Patterns are surfaced automatically.
You still control
Engineers decide the response.
