Honestly now, is this how you want your team spending their time on a day to day basis?

Your current Processes and systems are costing you!

Using Spreadsheets and Paper for tracking various parts of your operations is unnecessary wastage of skilled workers time

  • Standalone Order Schedules
    A spreadsheet where each row is a customer order. Updated manually (Or not at all) to hold up to date information on customers orders
  • Standalone Production / Shop Floor Schedules
    Once Orders are finalised, items added to the production Schedule. To keep this up to date, the Office staff have to talk to production staff daily. Only ever accurate at the start or end of day or week
  • Printed Work Orders
    Once Production Scheduling is completed, you issue the paper work orders into the first stage of production. Any last minute changes in customer orders require reprints. Most of the time the office won't see these again until the order is completed so the office have no oversight on progress

Are you feeling stuck??

Even though you know there has to be a a better way out there?

But when you do your research, “better” looks complicated, over priced, high risk??
Has a Sales Rep ever said any of the following to you?

  • Zero Customisation
    "We think the standardised processes and wording in the system will really help you" - Staff take years to rewire their brains
  • No Integration with your current tools
    "To get accounting features we will need you to use our propriety accounting module. Forget about the current tools your team use and love"
  • High Risk
    "We can't give you any guarantee's that this system will work for you. If you waste a years fee and then shelve the tool after 3 months, no harm no foul" OR "It'll take us 6-8 months to get this ready" 12 months later, still using spreadsheets

    You can contact our Sales Team for a tailored demo for your Accounting Package or Upgrade from the free trial within the Billing Management Page

2. Create a Sales Order

At Wipflo we call it a Sales Order, but this is where you add all the details associated with a Customers Order. We can then create associated Production Orders, Deliveries and Invoices all from within the 1 screen

  • Do you have to type every Order into Wipflo?
    No, we have a number of integrations* with Ecommerce Packages and we also develop custom "CSV importer"** functionality for customers with more complex needs/products
    *Integrations are restricted for Free Trial Users
    **Custom Importer is subject to an additional configuration fee

3. Define Production Workflows

You can create a library of reusable workflows used to produce your products, or simply define a custom workflow using the visualisation tool within the Sales Order. 

  • What if you have more complex workflows with various Parts and Subassemblies to account for?
    Wipflo 's underlying MES has been designed from the ground up with Subassemblies in mind. This allows you to track the progress of multiple items in parallel before the final assembly or delivery operation
  • What if an Operation has multiple steps?
    You can use the default steps of "BACKLOG" and "INPROGRESS" however you can programme as many steps as you need using the Operation edit functionality
  • What if you have 100's of Variations which can have a different Workflow?
    If you use an Eccommerce Website like WooCommerce, we have automated processes to import your variations and production workflows in bulk. Contact a member of the sales team

4. Create a Manufacturing or Production Order

Once you have confirmed the Order and the Process in which you will produce it, create a production order (sometimes called a “Work Traveller”, “Job”, “Job Pack” or “Manufacturing Order) which will be used to track the status of the items throughout the shop floor

Once you start the Production Order, a digital work Traveller will be issued to the Operator Portal 

  • What can you link to a Production Order?
    Production Orders can be linked to 1 or multiple Sales Orders.
    You can also split an individual Sales Order into as many Production Orders as you like

5. Track Production Progress

Using the Cloud based Portal, Operators can update the status of each Production Order or move the Production Order through the series of defined steps for that operation. This is a cloud based tool and fully responsive to tablet and mobile

  • How up to date is the information on the admin side of the platform?
    All information captured by operators on the shop floor is updated in real time. When office staff view a production order, the information is correct and up to date at any time
  • Once a Production Order is complete, do i need to update the Sales Order
    No, this is one of the major benefits to using Wipflo versus conventional spreadsheets. When items are completed, Wipflo will track when items are ready for delivery and invoicing automatically.

6. Connect and Automate

Wipflo.io has integrations with all major Accounting Software Packages (Including Sage50 hosted on premise). 

Combined with no-code automation tools like Zapier and Make.com, we can automate most manual data entry tasks, freeing your teams time to do more productive tasks

  • How long does it take to set up an Integration
    Integrations to Accounting Packages Usually take between 3-5 minutes for Cloud Platforms, 15-20 minutes for desktop packages
  • Are integrations a bolt on?
    No, our integration features are currently included in the package for new customers
  • What can I do with No Code Automation tools?
    Through access to our API, almost every process across Orders, Production, Delivery and Invoicing can be integrated with Wipflo. This can be task management tools, document parsing platforms or external communication products. Your creativity is the only limiting factor
