First you hear a job slipped is when the customer calls.
One live view of every job on the floor — its stage, due date and cost — so nothing slips without you seeing it first. Built in weeks. Yours to own.

Where jobs quietly slip.
Production pain rarely shouts — it's the slip you only spot when it's already late. Every one costs you a rush job, the overtime, and a customer who now checks up on you. Logged the way a foreman would, with what each one actually costs.
- 01
No live job view
Nobody can say what stage a job is at without walking the floor and asking.
Idle machine - 02
Delays spotted late
Material runs short when work stops — not when there's still time to reorder.
Late jobs - 03
“Where's that order?”
Status lives in someone's head, so the same question gets asked all day long.
Wasted hours - 04
Schedule by whiteboard
The board is only right if someone remembers to update it — and they don't.
Missed ship - 05
Wrong job runs first
The job due tomorrow waits while one due in six weeks goes on the machine.
Overtime - 06
Reruns nobody logged
Scrap and rework get redone quietly, so the real cost of a job is never known.
Scrap
Section 03 · The cost of chasing
What's chasing job status costing your floor?
A rough estimate based on the hours your people lose walking the floor, asking "where's that job?" and rebuilding the schedule by hand. It doesn't even count the rush jobs, the overtime, the scrap or the lost customers.
Estimated cost of chasing, per year£27,648
Illustrative only — the Gap Analysis validates the real number on your floor.
You're not imagining it.
The exact problems you just read — in the words of operators running the tools you've already priced. These are their public reviews of other software, not testimonials for OpsMavix.
The entire shop is run from my head.
Jobs due tomorrow are on the second page of the report; jobs due in six weeks are at the top.
We spent $100,000 on the software and now pay $38,000 a year for a system where we don't even use half the functions.
Not nearly worth the 165,000 — and it isn't even written for our industry.
Most data tracking was done in Excel, because Sage was too difficult to get a full picture.
QBO is too small, NetSuite is too expensive. What's a middle ground?
Drawn from 190+ public reviews we mined across Capterra, G2, Trustpilot and Reddit. Quoted for the problem described — not an endorsement of OpsMavix.
You've priced the £100k ERP. You're still run by a whiteboard. There's a middle.
Six-figure systems and a year-long rollout on one side; whiteboards and spreadsheets that leave you blind on the other. We build the band in between — one production system shaped to your floor, live in weeks, that you own outright.
Whiteboard & spreadsheets Cheap, but blind no live status · re-keyed · breaks at scale
OpsMavix Live job tracking, built for your floor your routing · live in weeks · yours to own
£100k+ ERP Rigid & oversized year-long rollout · not built for your trade
Don't rip out your floor. Prove one workflow first.
We de-risk the change by starting with one contained result on the floor — not a year-long rollout. You expand to the rest only after the first workflow has paid off.
- 01
Find the job that slips most
We walk the flow of jobs, materials, scheduling and dispatch and pin down the one workflow costing you the most rush jobs, overtime and late shipments.
- 02
Build and test it against real jobs
We map how your floor actually runs, agree what success looks like, connect your routing and job data, and prove the workflow on real work — not a demo.
- 03
Go live on the floor, then decide
Your team runs it with training and support. You expand to the rest of the floor only once the first result is on the table — live in weeks, and yours to own.
One workflow · live in weeks · expand only after it works · you own it outright
Two steps. Fixed scope. The analysis comes off the build.
No open-ended day rates, no "we'll scope it later." You get an exact, fixed build number before anything is built — and the Gap Analysis fee is credited in full against it.
A mid-market ERP runs £100k+ and a year to roll out — for shop-floor job tracking you'd use a fraction of. This is fixed-scope, live in weeks, and yours to own.

Section 08 · The guarantee
Delivery guaranteed. In writing.
We guarantee delivery of what's scoped — not a results promise, a delivery one, on paper. You see the exact figure and everything that gets built before you pay to build a thing.
Scoped before you commitThe exact number and everything built lands in your plan — before you pay to build anything.
You own it outrightNo per-seat fees, no licence to renew, no vendor sunset. It's yours to keep and change.
Built & backed by the founderYou talk to the person who builds it — not a reseller, a support queue or a sales rep.
Built for a specific kind of floor. Not everyone.
A strong fit when you…
- Run a UK manufacturer, job shop or fabrication business.
- Take custom or make-to-order work with real due dates.
- Track jobs on a whiteboard, spreadsheets or in someone's head.
- Lose time to floor walks and "where's that job?".
- Can point to one workflow that keeps jobs slipping.
Probably not when you…
- Need a cheap off-the-shelf app at the lowest price.
- Run pure high-volume repetitive lines with no job variation.
- Can't give floor-owner access or realistic job data.
- Want an immediate full global ERP replacement.
What cautious production managers usually ask.
Will the lads on the floor actually use it?
It's built around how they already work — big tap-and-scan targets at the machine, one job booked on or off in a second, no forms to fill. There's nothing new to learn; they update a job the way they already move it, and the board updates itself instead of waiting on someone to remember.
Why pay for the Gap Analysis first?
Because guessing the scope is how projects blow up. The Gap Analysis maps your floor, finds the one workflow costing you the most, and produces a fixed build price and plan — before you commit to building anything. And it's credited in full off the build if you proceed, so if you go ahead it effectively costs nothing.
How is this not going to cost 10× like an ERP?
An ERP charges per seat forever and quotes one price, then bills another once it's rolled out. Here the build is one fixed number, agreed before any work starts, and you own it outright — no per-seat fees, no licence to renew, no surprise once the whole floor is on it.
Do we have to replace our job sheets or accounting tools?
No. We connect to the routing and tools you already rely on and build around them, so production data flows in instead of being re-keyed — and we replace only the part that's actually slipping.
What if it doesn't deliver?
Delivery is guaranteed in writing. It's a delivery guarantee, not a results promise — we put what's scoped on paper, and you see the exact figure and everything that gets built before you pay to build a thing.
How quickly can we be live?
Live in weeks, not a year. After a free Fit-Check and the Gap Analysis confirm the scope, the first workflow is built, proven on real jobs and taken live — then you decide whether to expand to the rest of the floor.
