Step Board: The Game-Changer for Production Management

February 26th, 2025

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “What do I need to work on today?”—you’re not alone.

Production teams juggle multiple jobs, different departments, and tight deadlines. You’ve got machines running, proof approvals pending, and a whole team looking to you for direction. Sound familiar? That’s exactly why we built Step Board—a new way to keep your workflow crystal clear and ultra-efficient.

Why the Step Board Matters

For years, our Job Board has been the go-to tool for tracking active jobs. But here’s the catch: it only shows the current active step—not what’s coming up next or what each team needs to focus on right now.

Enter Step Board. 💡

With Step Board, you get a detailed, department-specific breakdown of jobs assigned to each step in your workflow. No more guesswork. No more bouncing between screens. Just a clear, focused view of what needs to be done today.

What Problems Does Step Board Solve?

🔹 “What should I work on today?”

Your team logs in, and boom—there’s a clean, prioritized list of jobs assigned to them. No digging. No confusion. Just action.

🔹 Department-Specific Views

Whether you’re in QA, Printing, Paint, Heat Press, or Proofing, Step Board lets you filter down to exactly what your team needs to see.

🔹 Machine Assignments Made Easy

Working with multiple machines? No problem. Step Board helps divide jobs based on machines, team members, or departments.

🔹 More Control, Less Chaos

Unlike the Job Board, which shows an overview of the entire workflow, Step Board hones in on individual steps—giving you more granularity and flexibility to organize work the way you want.
