Workforce Management Software
Shift scheduling, labor tracking, and time and attendance for manufacturers. Tie labor tickets to operations and manage accruals and time-off in one place.
Sound Familiar?
Labor Hours That Never Reach the Job
Operators run an operation, then someone keys the hours into a spreadsheet two days later from memory. By the time the numbers land in costing, you can't tell whether a job ran 12 hours or 20, and you're quoting the next one off guesses instead of actuals.
Schedules Built in a Vacuum
Your shift schedule lives in a whiteboard photo or a separate scheduling app that has no idea what's on the production schedule. You staff three people on a cell with no released work and leave a bottleneck operation short, and nobody catches it until first shift walks in.
Time-Off Math Done by Hand
Accruals get tracked in a spreadsheet a supervisor updates when they remember. Two people request the same week off, balances drift out of sync with what's actually owed, and an approved vacation collides with a delivery commitment because nobody saw the coverage gap.
No Line Between Clocked Time and Job Time
Attendance lives in a punch clock, labor lives on paper travelers, and the two never reconcile. You pay for eight hours but can only account for five against jobs, and the missing three hours of indirect and idle time are invisible until payroll and job costing disagree.
Core Capabilities
Shift Scheduling
Build shift schedules by cell, role, and shift pattern so supervisors see who is staffed where before the day starts. Schedules sit next to released work and operations, so you staff to the load instead of to last week's habit.
Schedule Drafts
Draft a schedule, adjust assignments, and review coverage before anything is published. Drafts stay out of the live view until a supervisor commits them, so you can rework next week's staffing without operators seeing half-baked assignments or reacting to changes you haven't finalized.
Labor Tickets Tied to Operations
Operators open and close labor tickets directly against routing operations on the work order. Every ticket carries the operation, the operator, start and stop times, and the job reference, so logged labor maps one-to-one to the operation it actually ran.
Time & Attendance
Capture clock-in and clock-out at the terminal and reconcile attended hours against the labor tickets booked to jobs. The gap between paid time and job time becomes visible as indirect and idle hours instead of disappearing into a payroll mystery.
Labor Tracking & Operation Costing
Closed labor tickets flow straight into operation-level job costing, so the hours an operator booked become the actual labor cost on the work order. Real run times feed back into estimating, so your next quote is built on what the floor actually did, not a standard nobody trusts.
Accrual Time-Off
Track time-off accruals and balances per worker, route requests through approval, and keep balances current as time is earned and used. Supervisors approve against real coverage instead of a stale spreadsheet, so an approved week off doesn't quietly create a staffing hole.
How It Connects
Production
Operators open labor tickets against the same routing operations they run on the floor, and the finite scheduler plans those operations against capacity, so attended time, operation progress, and the production plan stay in step.
Accounting
Closed labor tickets post real labor hours into job costing and WIP, so the cost of an operation reflects who ran it and how long it actually took rather than a flat standard rate.

ISO 45001 Support
Shift schedules, attendance records, and time-off tracking give you the documented working-hours and staffing trail that supports an ISO 45001 occupational health and safety program. WorkCell is not certified to ISO 45001; its records help you build and evidence your own system.
MES Software
Operator and terminal data capture turns labor tickets and clock events into the real-time floor record that connects people, operations, and hours.
Job Shops
High-mix shops live and die on accurate labor capture. Tie every hour to an operation so costing and quoting reflect the work that actually happened.
