Run the work order, and record it as it happens.

Work orders take the approved formula and instructions to the floor, and record each step and check as it's done.

7-day free trial, no card required. Work orders are in every plan. Two-signature formula approvals and cost/COGS are in Professional and Enterprise. Yield forecasting is coming soon.
