Skills, shifts and SOPs that don’t leave with one operator
Know who can run which machine, to what level, and whether today’s shift is covered. Turn senior know-how into SOPs that new joiners can read on the shop floor.
| Operator | CNC-01 setup | VMC-02 | Press 63T | CMM | Welding |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vikram Iyer | L3 | L3 | L2 | L1 | – |
| Nitin Patel | L1 | L2 | L3 | – | L2 |
| Amit Shah | – | L1 | L2 | – | L3 |
| Anjali Joshi | L2 | – | – | L3 | – |
| Shift B cover | Gap | OK | OK | Gap | OK |
Illustrative skill matrix. L1 = can operate under supervision, L3 = can set up and train others.
Know-how sits with a few senior hands
Only 4.1% of Indians aged 15–59 have formal vocational training, and one in four MSMEs cite skill shortage. When the one operator who knows a setup is absent, the job waits.
- New joiners learn by watching, not from SOPs
- Attendance and overtime are tracked on paper and argued at payroll
- Contract labour man-days are disputed at every contractor bill
- Certificates for welders and inspectors expire without warning
- Hiring apprentices and ITI trainees runs on personal contacts
People modules connected to production
Skills link to machines and operations, so a skill gap shows up on the job card before the shift starts.
Employees & Contract Labour
Permanent staff, contract workers and apprentices with wage basis, documents and contractor records.
Attendance, Shifts & Overtime
Shift rosters, attendance by manual entry, biometric import or mobile, leave, overtime, contractor man-days and a payroll-ready register.
Skill Matrix & Certifications
Who can run which machine and operation, to what level, with certificates, training, expiry and the gaps that block a job card.
Knowledge Base & SOPs
SOPs, work instructions, setup sheets and checklists, versioned and approved, linked to machines and readable on the shop floor.
Requirement Posting
Post internships, apprenticeships, skilled labour, contract work or permanent roles.
Candidates & Institute Channel
Skills-first profiles for ITI and diploma students and workers, with ITIs, polytechnics and TPOs pushing batches to your postings.

Workforce & Skills: common questions
Can it import biometric attendance?
Yes. Attendance can be entered manually, imported from biometric devices or captured on mobile, and produces a payroll-ready register.
How does the skill matrix connect to production?
Skills are defined per machine and operation. If a job card needs a skill no one on the shift holds at the right level, the gap is flagged, and expiring certificates show up in advance.
Does it help with apprentice hiring?
Yes. You can post apprenticeships, receive candidates from ITIs and polytechnics, run trade tests and interviews, and issue completion certificates.
Can contract labour be tracked separately?
Yes. Contract workers are linked to their contractor (a vendor record), with man-days tracked against each contractor bill.
