ERP vendor SYSPRO has introduced software that lets manufacturers collect real-time data on plant floor workers? time spent on operations and materials used. The SYSPRO ShopClock, companion software to the company?s Work in Progress (WIP) module, tracks employee time and attendance and progress on work orders. The system also shows whether operations are on budget and where time spent has been unproductive. And it posts expenses to the appropriate accounts. SYSPRO ShopClock offers flexible setup options that let companies configure shift rules to match shop floor labor requirements, the company said in its product announcement. The software automates the posting of labor transactions to the WIP module. An optional feature allows ShopClock to adjust inventory records to reflect materials issued in real time.
