First Track It - Production Tracking Monitoring App Case Study

To hold a record of every update in the production process of an order, First Track It is a solution we derived for our client First Solutions. This is a process management solution allowing users to get instant updates on the process. A simplified platform connecting sellers and operators with the user making the order. Despite any inconvenience in the process, through this solution, we have worked to give the users acute information on their orders.

We at Sparkout Tech are associated with First Solutions over a few projects now. We have been deriving solutions to meet global requirements. First Track It is a similar application that can contribute majorly to production tracking and other business operations involved by a plant. This is designed as a simple yet sleek application for users to conveniently place orders and get its update, while the customers and operators can update on the process going in just a few clicks.

For example, if a manufacturing plant has a set of processes, it can define these processes inside the FirstTrackIt application. The manufacturer, workers, and users will have apps. Whenever a process is initiated, the worker will update it on the app. The user can view the progress of the process on the user app.

The platform's subscription model made it a remunerative business, helping customers to reach out to multiple users and channelize their orders through these applications.

The ultimate challenge was in curating a simple and sleek space for the users of First Track It. The idea was simple: facilitate information to the user on everything happening around the production and dispatch, until received.

Yet to make it look the way it sounds? We happened to work on a few designs and structures while making the requirements precise, short, and crisp, yet detailing everything.

It also provides synchronized real-time updates, anywhere, anytime making the road smooth.

Discovery, Workflow(Design process)

Next, in the Manufacturing Process Tracking App Case Study, we’ll discuss the workings and functionalities below:

The First Track It application has three major subscription plans for the Users. $39/month for 10 customers, $69/month for 100 customers, and $149/month for unlimited customers. It can be billed semi-annually and the subscription terms fall in after the 7 days trial for all subscription plans.

The User Application

To start with the User Panel, the one placing orders to their customers and its operators. Once after the registration process and choosing the subscription plan it redirects to the payment portal. Once it's completed, the user is open to access the application. SNN code number is generated for every user and it helps in identifying customers and managing them.

Users can check on their orders in the Dashboard, while they can add their customers, Operators, the process, its sequences, and also choose its type, say Sequence or Independent. When a process is sequenced it comes in order, while the process is Independent it can act on its own from between.

From setting the time, scheduling the dispatch time, process order, its priorities are managed and fixed by the user making the order. They can simply raise their order request organizing things based on their need and requirement. From Time to time every update from the customer and operators is updated to the user.

The Exception option lists the reasons for the delay or any external or internal hindrance that has been occurring in the production or operations side of the customer, causing the delay. Once it's updated by the operator or customer, the Exception closes and the process continues.

There are 4 account types on the platform

Applications Decisions Business 4

The Customer and Operator App

Both applications are more similar, as the order is placed by the user, and the customer receives it and transcends it to the operator or the agent. Every update on the task for the operator on the task will be updated to the customer and the User simultaneously. For every Start, Exception, and Finish it's been instantly updated in the co-relative accounts.

Before all this, the customer will be sent the SNN number to receive orders, as every SNN number is unique, it's easy to identify the user and their order.
