In today’s complex manufacturing and heavy engineering environments, managing workforce productivity goes far beyond simply tracking attendance. With multiple work centers, variable shift patterns, overtime management, and non-productive hours, companies often struggle to capture a true picture of actual work performed versus allocated man-hours. Paper-based time sheets, disconnected systems, and subjective reporting add further layers of inefficiency and compliance risks.
Our Digital Job Time Card & Work Management Solution (DJTC) is purpose-built for this industrial reality. By offering real-time workforce analytics, digital time capture, and job costing at the work-center level, DJTC enables precise resource allocation, transparent reporting, and actionable productivity insights. It not only tracks active work but also captures idle and non-productive hours—providing a holistic view of labor utilization across shifts, departments, and projects.
