Protect margin
True job cost. Quote versus actual. Scrap, rework, and hidden variance.
VBOLT
The shop is sophisticated. The information around it isn’t.
VBOLT helps manufacturers see what’s happening, find where time and money are being lost, and improve the way work moves through the business.
Recognition
The work is already happening. The record of it is not.
Jobs move through the shop. Paper travelers move with them. ERP holds some of it. Spreadsheets hold the rest. A lot never gets entered at all.
Management asks questions the system cannot answer. Operators already know. The information is delayed, fragmented, or still on the sheet.
Outcomes
Start with what’s costing the shop.
Deliver on time
Know where jobs stand. See bottlenecks earlier. Make promises you can keep.
Increase throughput
Find where work sits. Reduce interruption. Use the capacity you already have.
Know what’s happening
Capture what the floor already knows. Connect it. Use it the same day.
BOLT
Shop-floor data capture. Early v1.
Important information is already being created on the floor. BOLT makes it easier to capture and use — starting with the paper traveler.
