VisMobile
Labor collection and warehouse transactions, run from tablets, handhelds and browser-enabled devices already on the floor.
Labor collection that does not slow the floor down
VisMobile Labor puts time collection on the shop floor itself, a barcode scan instead of a paper timesheet, built for multi-shift, 24/7 manufacturing where handwritten labor entry is both slow and error-prone.
How it works
Employees clock in and out by badge scan, in serial mode for one job at a time or concurrent mode for multiple, with shifts, breaks and lunch configured per employee.
Supervisor approval, automated early/late notifications, automated holiday charges and automated indirect gap-time charges between jobs run without manual entry.
Actual job costs and employee productivity become visible because labor is tracked directly against the work order, not estimated after the fact.
Barcode collection removes handwriting and manual entry from the labor record, cutting the error rate a paper process carries by design.
Warehouse and inventory transactions
Warehouse and location transfers, cycle counts, physical inventory, purchase receipts, material request fulfillment, work order moves and paperless Kanban all run as barcode-scanned transactions, on RF devices or any browser-enabled device.
On-screen prompts and automatically populated data, with pre-printed barcodes, remove manual data entry from receiving and put-away, so the inventory record matches the shelf the moment the scan happens.
Custom product labels generate from the same transactions, and a touch-screen kiosk-style experience keeps the interface usable on the floor rather than at a desk.
The same devices that scan labor into VisMobile Labor scan inventory here, so a shop does not carry two mobile platforms for one floor.

The shop floor does not type
Labor reporting fails when it asks operators to be data entry clerks. VisMobile Labor works the way the floor works: scan a badge, scan into an operation, scan out, done.
Labor Collection at the Source
Employees clock in and out by barcode scan on whatever hardware you already have, tablets, floor stations with barcode wedges, inexpensive handheld scanners, or a phone camera reading the barcode directly, with serial mode for one job at a time and concurrent mode for several.
Supervisor Tools and Automation
Shifts of varying hours, lunch and breaks are configured per employee for a 24/7 environment, with supervisor approval, automated clock-out-all, automated correction and automated notifications for early or late attendance running without manual review of every entry.
Job Costing and Productivity Visibility
Actual job costs post directly from the labor tracked against each work order, with indirect gap time between jobs captured automatically, so productivity and true job cost are visible rather than estimated after the fact.
Payroll Integration
Time captured on the floor feeds Labor Distribution, which manages employees, timesheets and HR data and integrates bi-directionally with third-party payroll providers, so the same scan that costs the job also feeds payroll without a second entry.
Inventory records that match the shelf
A warehouse management system earns its name by closing the gap between what the system thinks is on the shelf and what is actually there, and it does that at the transaction, not at the next cycle count.
Warehouse and Inventory Transactions
Warehouse and location transfers, cycle counts, physical inventory, purchase receipts, material request fulfillment, work order moves and paperless Kanban all run as barcode-scanned transactions from RF devices or any browser-enabled device, the same devices already used for labor collection above.
Removing Manual Entry
On-screen prompts, automatically populated data and pre-printed barcodes mean a receiving or put-away transaction is a scan, not a typed entry, which is what keeps the inventory record accurate as volume grows rather than only at implementation.
A Kiosk Experience That Stays Current
The interface is touch-screen and kiosk-style by design, built to stay usable as the hardware underneath it changes, and custom product labels generate directly from the same transactions rather than a separate labeling step.
Common questions about VisMobile
What hardware does the shop floor need?
Anything that runs a browser. Most customers use tablets or simple work stations with inexpensive barcode scanners; badges and job barcodes can be self-generated. There is no client software to install or maintain.
Does labor data reach payroll?
Yes. Floor transactions feed Labor Distribution, which integrates bi-directionally with third-party payroll providers, so hours are captured once, at the operation, and flow to both job cost and payroll.
Can one operator run several jobs at once?
Yes, in both directions: one operator across multiple operations, and multiple operators reporting against one operation. Gap times and indirect labor are handled so the timesheet stays complete without manual reconciliation.
Does VisMobile also run warehouse transactions, or only labor?
Both, on the same devices. Warehouse and location transfers, cycle counts, physical inventory, receipts, material request fulfillment, work order moves and paperless Kanban run as barcode-scanned transactions alongside labor collection, so a floor runs one mobile platform rather than two.
Does it require special scanners?
No. RF devices or any browser-enabled device works, from tablets to inexpensive handheld scanners, with on-screen prompts and pre-printed barcodes removing manual entry either way.
