Immediate, instantaneous! Piece Tracker is based on an SQL data base which means the most current information is always available. The power of Piece Tracker is that information on each product piece, as it moves through the various stages from design to erection, is added to the data base as each change occurs.

Many ERP systems are excellent accounting tools designed to enable you to review a project in extreme detail to analyze what you did wrong and what you did right so you can improve on the next project. Piece Tracker however, takes management to a higher level by enabling you to make decisions throughout your current project in real time.

Piece Tracker, especially when combined with mobile devices, ensures that each person has instant access to real time data. This means that everyone is able to make immediate adjustments to stamp out inefficiencies and head off problems before they occur. Collecting large amounts of data for historical analysis is useful, but true breakthrough productivity gains come from being able to use information the instant that it occurs.

Piece Tracker increases productivity by improving management processes and dissemination of real time information. Piece Tracker can quickly highlight problems at the individual piece level allowing immediate management attention.

Piece Tracker is primarily designed for the precast concrete business. The primary focus of Piece Tracker is to help operation managers and support staff in managing their processes more effectively.

Piece Tracker finds and highlights scheduling conflicts. For example it may highlight a piece that has 0 days between production and setting. Conflict times can be set for acceptable lead times between erection and production or production and drawings.

Also, as the last piece is set each day Piece Tracker re-calculates the remaining erection schedule and issues a revised date for schedule completion.

Piece Tracker provides the daily pour, shipping and erection schedules. These can be easily changed as internal or external events dictate. When changes are made information about the change is immediately updated to all aspects of the project.

Event triggers can be set in Piece Tracker to e-mail designated people when that event occurs. For example if a quality check is not acceptable, as soon as that unacceptable status is entered into Piece Tracker an e-mail is automatically sent to the Quality Manager, the Production Manager, and the Engineer responsible for that piece.

Piece tracker starts with the erection schedule and works backwards through shipping, production scheduling, bill of materials, and engineering drawings.

Piece Tracker is designed to import drawing and bill of material directly from StructureWorks or Excel spread sheets or text files. Data can also be entered manually if desired. Schedules and other information can also go directly from spread sheets into Piece Tracker. Data can also be exported from Piece Tracker to ERP systems or for shop use using Excel spread sheets or Crystal Reports.

Piece Tracker can export data in either Excel spread sheet format or as a structured report using Crystal Report writer. Data can also be exported from Piece Tracker to ERP systems or for shop use using Excel spread sheets or Crystal Reports.

Piece Tracker replaces and/or enhances the systems you are using now. Typically our customers report a decrease in the time it takes them to enter data. Each person completing or supervising a task enters that information directly using a web connection. The data can be entered by stationary computer, field lap top, iPad, or smart phone.
