Production Manager
Quantity tracking and production reporting for construction projects. Keep a clear, auditable picture of what was contracted vs. what was delivered — month by month.
The Problem
Construction teams spend hours every month manually tracking quantities across spreadsheets, comparing contract amounts to actual deliveries, and assembling billing reports. Data lives in email attachments, supplier PDFs, and disconnected spreadsheets. Errors compound. Billing cycles drag on. Production Manager automates this entire workflow.
Features
Project Management
Create and manage quantity-tracking projects with assigned project managers. Organize projects by contract structure and track progress across your portfolio.
Contract Items
Define contract line items with categories, systems, billing types, and units of measure. Reorder and organize them to match your contract structure exactly.
Delivery & Component Tracking
Track monthly production quantities — shipped, placed, installed — against contract items. Toggle between units (lbs/tons). This is your production ledger.
Overview Dashboard
Financial and progress overview by contract item: contract vs. performed quantities, earned-value-style metrics, and visual charts to spot trends instantly.
Import & Export
Import supplier schedules (Excel/PDF), field data, and contract items. Large files are processed asynchronously. Export delivery items, contract items, monthly billing reports, and multi-project reports.

Frequently Asked Questions
What problem does Production Manager solve?
Production Manager keeps a clear, auditable picture of what was contracted vs. what was actually delivered, placed, and installed — month by month. It eliminates manual spreadsheet tracking and automates billing report generation.
Can my organization rename Production Manager?

Production Manager supports Excel (.xlsx, .xls), PDF, and CSV files for importing supplier schedules, field data, and contract items. Large files are processed asynchronously by a background worker.
How does the billing export work?
Production Manager generates billing workbooks from your tracked quantities. Select a billing period, and the system creates a formatted report showing contract quantities vs. performed quantities, ready for client submittal.
What data entities does Production Manager track?
Production Manager tracks Projects, Contract Line Items, Delivery/Component Items (monthly quantities), Documents & Document Lines (imported schedules), Quantity Events (delivered, installed, billed stages), and Unmapped Components.
