Job Tracking Software

Keep track of jobs and analyse the efficiency with which work-to lists are executed with FourJaw's Work Order Management.

Manage Work Orders. Track Jobs. Easily.

Stay in control of your entire production process with FourJaw’s work order management and job-tracking workspace.

Centralise and monitor every operation from start to finish, giving production managers and planners complete visibility over the factory floor.

Track the full production process

Work Order Management connects what was planned with what is happening on the shop floor.

By combining work order information with live machine and production data, FourJaw job tracking gives planners, operators and managers a shared view of production throughout the day.

Keep the right work in front of the right operators

Work Order Management helps production teams import, organise and track work orders in FourJaw, so operators always know what they should be working on now and what is coming next.

Planners can update priorities, move operations between machines and keep schedules aligned with what is actually happening on the shop floor.

Easily bring production schedules into FourJaw

Import work orders directly from a CSV file using your existing ERP or planning data. Flexible column mapping allows you to match your own file structure to FourJaw, while machine mappings are saved for future imports.

This gives production planners a faster, more repeatable way to get work orders into the system without relying on manual setup or support requests.

Adapt when production plans change

Production schedules rarely stay fixed. Machines go down, priorities move and capacity changes throughout the day.

Work Order Management allows team leads and planners to reassign operations between machines in seconds. Updates made in the FourJaw web app are reflected on operator tablets, helping teams respond quickly without relying on printed schedules, spreadsheets or shop-floor conversations.

Give operators clear priorities Operators can see the work assigned to their machine directly on the FourJaw tablet, including what is currently in progress and what should be worked on next.

This reduces uncertainty, helps prevent operators from booking onto the wrong work order and keeps production moving with fewer interruptions.
