Task Diary
Specifically designed for Production Management, the Optimus Task Diary provides instant, easily accessible filtered views of individual tasks and associated data, to facilitate production planning.
Driven by tasks required to complete a job, information is provided in one screen for every task, proof, material requisition and any job information surrounding the task. Additional information including estimated time and actual time taken, together with estimated and actual quantities is also provided.
Multiple filters, sort and display options that can be saved and re-used are available giving an instant printable work-to list, with the ability to set target start and finish dates and times and display material requisitions.

Bespoke development
As a standard, Optimus software is designed to be highly configurable, so for many of our customers this inherent flexibility provides them with all the functionality that they require. However, we fully appreciate that there will be occasions when unique ways of working are mandatory, they are not optional! These specific processes, whether customer driven or internally required we can cater for.
Talk to the Optimus team about your detailed requirements. This could lead to an Optimus driven development project; or we can provide the tools and the software for you to be self-sufficient, enabling your company to oversee your own development path. For many of our customers with the right skills and resources, this has proven to be a popular choice.
