Shop Floor Data Capture Software for Manufacturing

Real-Time Visibility Across Your Entire Shop Floor — Without Complexity or Extra Cost

Fraction ERP gives you real-time shop floor visibility, built directly into your ERP system — simple to use, and available to your entire team.

Fully integrated with production & costing

Designed for real operators

Unlimited shop floor users — no extra cost

Why Most Shop Floor Systems Don't Work

Manufacturers often try to improve visibility using paper job sheets, spreadsheets, or standalone systems. But these create new problems:

  • Data is delayed or inaccurate
  • Systems don't connect to production planning
  • Operators avoid overly complex tools
  • Costs increase as more users are added

Instead of improving control, they add friction.

A Different Approach: Built Into Your ERP

Fraction ERP doesn't bolt shop floor data capture on top of your system. It is part of your core ERP — meaning everything is connected.

Works orders update in real time

Scheduling reflects actual progress

Costs tracked accurately as work happens

Real-Time Data Capture — From Every Operator

Capture live production data directly from the shop floor.

  • Start and finish times
  • Operation progress
  • Quantities completed
  • All logged instantly against works orders
Simple shop floor interface

Designed for Simplicity — So Your Team Actually Uses It

Most systems fail because operators won't use them. Fraction ERP is built differently.

  • Clean, simple interface
  • Minimal training required
  • Fast, intuitive data entry
Production tracking across factory

Unlimited Shop Floor Users — Scale Without Cost Barriers

Most ERP systems charge per user, per terminal, or per device — so companies limit rollout and lose visibility. Fraction ERP removes that barrier completely.

  • No additional cost per operator
  • Deploy across every workstation
  • Capture data from your entire factory

Frequently Asked Questions

What is shop floor data capture?

Shop floor data capture is the process of recording real-time production activity — including time, progress, and output — directly from the factory floor.

Why do most shop floor systems fail?

Because they are too complex, not integrated with ERP, or too expensive to roll out fully across the factory.

How is Fraction ERP different?

It combines three critical elements: full ERP integration, simplicity for operators, and unlimited user access at no extra cost.

If you don't have real-time visibility across your entire operation, you're making decisions without the full picture.
