WORK IN PROGRESS
WIP is the 1st truly “Real time” application ever developed. With WIP you can keep track of the
order status in “Real time”. WIP keeps track of where your materials are, at what station and with
what employee or contractor. The whole system is automated, giving you easy access and control.
When you’re ready to give the “job bag” to an Employee or Contractor you can start the “Work In
Progress” (also know as Envelope Transaction) by simple scanning (with a barcode scanner) or
typing the Envelope No. You can then select a “Station” and all “Employees” assigned to that
Station will show. You just click on the Employee name and “Process Transaction.” WIP will even
keep track of “Split transactions” so you can split the same Job Bag between as many people
as you need.
MEMOS
Do you need to sent work out? How long does it take you to prepare a Memorandum? It's not
an easy task, is it?
WIP will create Memos for you in no time. Just select the which Employees or Subcontractors
are taking work out, WIP will do the rest; WIP keeps track of "In progress" and "Finished" memos
automatically.
BILLS
WIP can keep an automated Bill for Employees/Contractors/Subcontractors. With the click of a
buton you decide when to "Start new Bill" for each employee, WIP ensures you don't overpay for
a job or pay for the same job more than once.
Do you need to charge for a diamond your Contractor broke but you want to do so in several
installments? You can enter "On Hold" bills and apply them whenever you want.
EMPLOYEES
You can assign the Employee (Contractor or Subcontractor) to a Station, but are not limited
to one. For example, if Joel is a Polisher and also a Jeweler, you can assign Joel to both
Polishers and Jewelers stations, you can even enter a Employee Nickname for each station.
REAL TIME INVOICING
WIP's invoicing function is truly amazing! Instead of waiting for the entire job to be done
before you charge the order, you can create a "Real time invoice" to invoice the part of the
Order that is finished, maximizing your cash flow.
This is just a brief description of some of WIP features, WIP does much, much more. |
