Manufacturing and warehouse oversight: schedules, attendance and completed shifts

Shift work depends on continuity: enough people in the right roles, punctuality and clear hour calculations. CrewTango connects schedules with actual time, tasks and reports, so you can see whether the shift plan was completed.

MAIN CHALLENGES

Where does manufacturing performance slip?

Missing visibility causes losses: unclear staffing in required roles, late arrivals and shortfalls in planned hours.

Not enough people in required roles

Before a shift begins, it is unclear whether every position is covered.

Late arrivals and absences

You find out too late, and the shift loses momentum from the start.

Night shifts and rotations

Shifts ending the next day make planning and time calculations harder.

Hours do not match the plan

Planned-versus-actual time differences are hard to see.

Uneven employee workload

Some people work overtime while others fall short, without a quick overview.

Reports arrive at month-end

Scattered data delays decisions.

SHIFT TASKS

Tasks and Kanban for every shift

From briefing to handover, priorities, ownership, progress and files stay with each task.

TODAY'S PLAN

Everyone sees their shift tasks

Employees open the mobile app list and see past, current and upcoming tasks. Each shows a deadline, priority, status and comment count.

  • tasks assigned to specific people
  • priority and deadline visible without opening details
  • easy handover of unfinished work to the next shift
Shift task list in the CrewTango mobile app
WORKFLOW

Kanban shows where the process has stalled

Adapt boards and columns to manufacturing, such as To do → In progress → Quality check → Done. Managers see workload, progress and tasks needing attention.

  • multiple boards for lines, departments or teams
  • status, priority, progress and assignees on the card
  • drag cards between process stages

COMPLETE CONTEXT

Instructions and files stay with the task

Add descriptions, comments, files and links to other tasks. The next shift receives all the information together without searching chat messages for instructions or photos of an issue.

  • comments, photos, instructions and other files
  • task relationships and dependencies
  • history of status, priority and assignment changes

RELATED MODULE — WAREHOUSE

Components, locations and movements connected to shift work

Monitor stock in the main warehouse and at production lines. Employees scan QR or NFC, and the system records issues, returns or transfers with the person, quantity and stock before and after the operation.

  • products, SKUs, units and minimum stock levels
  • hierarchical locations for facilities, racks and lines
  • issues, returns, receipts and transfers
  • complete movement history and low stock levels

REPORTS

Decisions based on data, not instinct

Weekly and monthly summaries show time, costs and trends, giving you concrete figures from the production floor.

Working time by department
