04 - Build tracking

Cutting to finished piece, visible stage by stage.

The floor updates a stage; everyone else sees it. Owners, front-office staff, and, if you choose to share it, the customer see the same authoritative state for every piece in production - no phone calls to find out where an order stands.

How this feature works

Five-stage build model

Cutting, assembly, finishing, QC and ready-for-handover. Every order moves through the same explicit gates.

Floor-first updates

Stages are updated from the floor with minimal friction - a single tap on a workshop tablet or a scanned job card, not an email chain.

Time-in-stage tracking

How long each piece sits in each stage is logged. Over time this becomes the workshop's own historical labor data - which feeds better estimates.

Front-office visibility

The sales or client-management view shows current stage, expected next-stage date, and any at-risk flags - so client updates are proactive, not reactive.

Optional customer-facing status

If the workshop wants to share progress with the customer, a public-facing status link exposes only the coarse stage - never internal capacity or other orders.

Handover and completion record

The ready-for-handover event closes the loop and archives the order's actual timeline against the promised slot - the workshop's honest scorecard.
