Increase productivity and transparency with iCatalyst

Manufacturers can define an unlimited number of custom fields (called production attributes) using various data types like text, numbers, dates, booleans, and more.  This flexibility supports complex, made-to-order requirements by configuring each production operation with precision and accurately capturing every specific need.

The solution replaces traditional paper-based processes with real-time updates on production orders and operations. This instantaneous visibility reduces manual errors, streamlines communication on the shop floor, and supports proactive management of production issues, leading to improved efficiency and accuracy. ​

The solution is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, connecting data with the broader Microsoft ecosystem, including Power BI, Teams, and Outlook. Data moves easily across platforms to give users a unified, cloud-based view of operations that supports scalable production management.

 A standout feature of the solution is its advanced time management capability. It tracks start, pause, resume, and finish times—even accommodating multiple operators and simultaneous orders—so that production efficiency can be closely monitored and analysed. This detailed logging helps pinpoint inefficiencies, optimise resource allocation, and ultimately drive down costs. ​

Designed specifically for the production floor team, the solution’s mobile app features a user-friendly, dynamic interface that can adjust the visible and editable fields based on the specific production routing or operation step. This role-tailored approach simplifies the user experience on the shop floor so that each operator sees only the information relevant to their task, enhancing accuracy and productivity. ​

 Users can download, annotate, and re-upload technical drawings and other key documents directly from the production order. Keeping essential product specifications stored and updated digitally improves traceability and supports quality control throughout the production lifecycle.
