Order and production management for plasma cutting shops
After the customer orders, SeekMake keeps the job moving: each order carries its files, price breakdown and delivery date, moves across a production board, prints as a work order and ends with an invoice.
Once a plasma order is paid, the shop floor needs the cut file, grade, thickness, quantity and any bevel or finish in hand before the plate goes on the table. Mixing those up means cutting the wrong steel. Each order carries its file and options, moves across a board by status and by machine, and prints as a work order for the operator.
