Record, for each shift and workstation/line, what was done and by who — plus material shortages, downtime events, quality issues and handover notes. Turn shift data into actionable insights with Pareto charts and dashboards.
Paper shift logs get lost, can't be searched, and never get analysed. NS-SMS captures shift information digitally, making it searchable, reportable, and actionable. See patterns, identify root causes, and drive continuous improvement.
Record every stoppage with start time, duration, category, and root cause. See which issues cost you the most production time.
Log quality problems with photos and details. Track first article inspection, defects, and rework requirements.
Record units produced, target vs actual, and efficiency metrics. Compare performance across shifts and lines.
Track operator assignments, absences, and training status. Know who was on each station every shift.
Record when production stops due to missing materials. Track impact and communicate with planning.
Log equipment failures with details for maintenance. Integrates with NS-CMMS for work order creation.

Shift reporting is the structured capture of what happened during a shift—output, downtime, staffing, quality issues and constraints—so you can review performance and improve.
Operators or supervisors log downtime events with standard reason codes. Reports and Pareto charts then show the biggest causes by line, product or time period.
Yes. A digital shift logbook keeps everything searchable and consistent, and reduces missed information during handover.
Yes. Track output, scrap, staffing levels and other shift KPIs so issues can be linked to the conditions that caused them.
Typical reports include downtime Pareto charts, trend dashboards, shift summaries and issue logs. Exports can be provided to suit your reporting needs.
Yes. It’s browser-based so multiple roles can access the same live shift information on your network.
