Employee monitoring built for Manufacturing Companies

Monitoring only earns its place when it answers a question the business already has. For manufacturing companies that question is usually the same one: are planners, quality staff and office teams spending their hours on the work that moves production runs, work orders and shift handovers forward, or on everything that surrounds it?

Manufacturers measure the shop floor to the second and the office not at all. Planning, scheduling, quality documentation, procurement and customer service all consume salaried hours that never reach a cost-per-unit calculation, so overhead gets allocated by formula rather than by fact.

A manufacturer can tell you the cycle time of a press to three decimal places and cannot tell you what its planning department costs per work order. The shop floor has been instrumented for decades; the office that keeps it fed has not been instrumented at all.

Worktivity's employee monitoring for manufacturing companies extends measurement to the administrative and technical office. Hours against production lines, work orders, customer accounts and internal functions turn indirect labour from a percentage into an observed number.

Worktivity applies the same discipline to salaried office work. Time in ERP, MES and quality systems is captured against production runs and work orders, so scheduling, quality documentation, procurement and customer service stop being a single overhead line. The usual first finding is how much office time is consumed by expediting, chasing what the plan already said should happen.

Worktivity answers it with automatic activity capture, application and website usage, optional screenshots and activity levels, all assembled into a timeline a manager can read in a minute and an employee can check for themselves. No keystroke logging, no hidden agent, no surprises.
