Shop-Trak | Shop Floor Execution for Manufacturing
Shop-Trak captures labor, job activity, and shop-floor performance in real time — on the floor, where work happens. Accurate data feeds directly into SyteLine, so job costing, scheduling, and payroll reflect what’s actually happening, not what someone entered later.
Shop-Trak is not adapted from warehouse or mobility workflows.
It is purpose-built for shop-floor execution. That distinction matters: an interface designed for operators on the floor gets adopted. One retrofitted from another context does not. When operators use it consistently, the data is reliable. When the data is reliable, costing is accurate, scheduling is honest, and supervisors stop firefighting.
Shop-Trak runs on-premises or in the cloud, and is now available with CloudSuite Industrial.
"Portions of Factory Track were so cumbersome that we moved both companies to Shop-Trak because of the ease."
Manufacturers planning CSI cloud migrations worry about what happens to shop-floor execution during the transition. Shop-Trak runs on-prem or in the cloud, preserves your existing workflows, and keeps real-time labor capture and job visibility intact throughout — no retraining, no disruption, no gaps.
When operators record labor on paper — or enter time hours later — cost reports are wrong, WIP is unclear, and management makes decisions on stale data. Shop-Trak captures labor and job activity as it happens, on the floor, so accurate data flows directly to job cost and payroll without manual translation.
Shop Floor Visibility
Give every operator exactly what they need to do their job — and nothing more. Shop-Trak delivers real-time production schedules and job priorities directly to the floor, so operators work the right jobs in the right sequence without supervisors manually redirecting them.
- Real-time job priorities go directly to the operator — no paper dispatches, no verbal updates.
- Supervisors see up-to-the-moment job status and performance analytics without leaving their station.
- Schedule changes reflect immediately on the floor, reducing cherry-picking and out-of-sequence work.
- Drill through to transactional data to check production status at any point during the shift.
Precise Job Costing
Accurate margins start with accurate labor capture. Shop-Trak records job moves, completes, and labor transactions in real time — eliminating the lag between work performed and cost reported.
- Capture labor as it happens — not at end of shift, not from a paper log.
- Support simultaneous multiple machine management with sophisticated cost allocations for precise productivity tracking.
- Issue materials to production from multiple locations at once, with drag-and-drop simplicity for lot and serial tracked components.
- eKanban replenishments for internally and externally sourced parts and components.
- Direct machine interface — sync quantity counts and machine status directly from shop floor equipment.
Streamline Labor Data & Payroll
Eliminate duplicate entry and reconciliation overhead. Labor recorded on the floor flows directly to SyteLine Payroll or ADP — no manual re-key, no paper translation.
- Time and attendance stays reconciled with shop floor labor for cleaner recordkeeping.
- Support for work center teams and crews — reassign a dynamically sized team from job to job with one action.
- Allow one employee to process multiple jobs on a single machine simultaneously or in rapid succession.
- Supervisors spend more time managing the shop and less time fixing transactions.
Visual Work Instructions
Keep drawings, specs, and work instructions at the job — without requiring operators to log into the ERP. When paired with Doc-Trak, Shop-Trak delivers the right document at the right workstation automatically.
- Step-by-step instructions with integrated images and videos, accessible directly on the floor.
- Instructions link to job orders through ERP integration — operators always see the current version, never a printed copy that may be outdated.
- Customizable layouts fit specific process and production needs.
- Progress tracking and issue reporting built in — operators mark completion and flag issues without leaving the workstation.
Whether you’re planning a cloud migration, fixing job costing accuracy, or looking to eliminate paper from the floor — we’ll show you exactly how Shop-Trak works in your environment.
