Unplanned Downtime
Slashes Profits
When you're busy managing your shop, it can be difficult to spot unplanned downtime — Whether it's due to a broken tool, scrap parts, or trouble setting up a machine.
But as every shop manager knows, just a few hours of downtime can be enough to throw off your lead times, quotes, and shop schedule.
