Shop Floor Management Software: Digitally Control Production Processes and Make Them Measurable

Anyone who controls store floor processes with paper or Excel inevitably produces media disruptions, outdated versions and a lack of comparability between shifts, lines and locations. With Testify, process owners define work instructions, test checklists and quality standards once in the no-code checklist designer and then use them consistently. Production lines, machines and test objects are mapped hierarchically so that every shift and every line works with the same standards. Recurring inspections are scheduled and assigned automatically, without any manual effort.

Employees on the store floor carry out tests, inspections and documentation directly in the Testify app, on a tablet, smartphone or desktop, even without an active internet connection. A wide range of check types such as numerical measurements with tolerance limits, photo documentation, multiple choice or the integration of external sensor data allow each process step to be mapped precisely. If an employee detects a deviation, a defect is created directly during the check and immediately forwarded to the person responsible. There is no media discontinuity between recording and further processing.

Digital store floor management only works if deviations are not only recorded but also consistently rectified. Testify automatically assigns defects and measures to the responsible employees or groups and sends notifications in real time. Supervisors can see the status of all open, in-process and completed issues at any time. Time-consuming manual activities such as the instantiation of checklists according to defined triggers can be fully automated via workflow management.

After each inspection and each completed process, all data is immediately available for evaluation. In the integrated reporting, shift supervisors and production managers can see at a glance how many checklists have been carried out, which defect categories occur more frequently, where process conformity deviates from standards and how key figures are developing across shifts and lines. Pareto analyses and trends provide the basis for targeted process optimization. For more in-depth evaluations, all data can be transferred directly to Power BI.
