Engineering & Production Time Tracking for Prophet 21
Know where the hours go—and where work gets stuck.
When engineering time lives in spreadsheets or is reconstructed after the job, it’s difficult to understand how much effort each stage requires.
Managers may struggle to see progress, explain overruns, or use completed work to improve the next estimate.
MindHARBOR builds custom time-tracking applications connected to Prophet 21, helping teams capture work against the production orders, projects, and tasks that matter to the business.
Capture time in the context of the job
A custom application can bring together:
-
The project or production order.
-
The customer or operation involved.
-
The employees assigned to the work.
-
Tasks and production stages.
-
Time recorded against each stage.
-
Progress updates and supporting notes.
-
Detail for review and reporting.
The fields and workflow are defined around how your team works and what management needs to understand.
Make progress easier to review
Give authorized employees a summary of work in progress, with the ability to investigate individual tasks and stages.
Reports can support questions such as:
-
Which stages consume the most time?
-
Where is actual effort exceeding expectations?
-
What work remains?
-
Which jobs need a closer review?
Progress percentages and estimates use agreed definitions, so people understand what the figures represent.
Connect time tracking with P21
We assess what information should come from P21 and what the application needs to send back through available interfaces.
That may include production order references, task information, and approved time data, depending on the project scope.
Permissions, validation, and reconciliation are part of the design.
Extend into scheduling & production coordination
Where useful, the project can also include calendars, task assignments, production scheduling, and reporting for internal or customer-facing purposes.
You can start with a focused time-entry application and expand as the requirements become clearer.
Built around your systems
These are custom applications, adapted to your processes. Our approach can also support other ERPs and connected business systems.
Where are missing time records or unclear progress costing you?
Tell us how employees record work today, what managers need to see, and where the current process falls short.
