PORTER Factory
Production management in one system
Orders, materials, employee work and quality are connected in one working environment. You see what is happening on the shop floor, who is responsible for the result and where your attention is needed.

A familiar situation
When information is scattered, production is harder to manage
Order status has to be clarified by phone. Stock sits in spreadsheets. Results of work and agreements stay in chats. The manager spends time piecing the overall picture together.
