Manage resources
Workforce and technician operations
Match work to the people who can do it, record the time honestly, and see where capacity actually goes.
VMOTEK holds the technician roster with skills, certifications and availability, assigns work-order tasks against real capacity, records clock-on time per task, and reports actual versus estimated labor by technician, job type and location.
The problem
Capacity is guessed, not measured
Shops promise delivery times based on a feeling about how busy the floor is, and only discover the truth when a job runs late.
- Assignments made verbally and forgotten.
- No record of which technician did which operation.
- Labor time reconstructed at the end of the week.
- Skills and certifications tracked on a wall chart.
