The shop floor moves.
The right person hears it
on WhatsApp.

Fast Production Software puts WhatsApp on top of the shop floor. A work order changes status and the supervisor knows. Material runs short at issue and stores get an alert. A reject is booked and quality gets a nudge. A job card is allocated and the operator is told — each message triggered by a real production event, not by someone remembering to send it.

Two directions, one work order

WhatsApp reaches the floor
and the people who run it

Some messages keep the line informed; others chase the people who have to act. Fast Production Software uses WhatsApp for both — the floor knows the plan, and supervisors, stores and quality are nudged before a stall becomes a shortfall report.

Keeping the floor moving
Messages the line receives
From a released work order to a completed one, the floor hears what changed. Supervisors get status updates, operators get job-card notifications, and stores get shortage alerts the moment material can't cover an issue.
Work-order status Job-card notification Material-shortage alert WO completion
Catching problems early
Nudges the team receives
A not-OK quantity at an operation, a line rejection sent to rework, a work order slipping its date — the nudge goes to quality or the rework owner with the work center and quantity named, so it's actioned, not buried.

How it works

From a production event to the
right message, in the right hand

WhatsApp is the channel. The work order is the system of record. Fast Production Software keeps the two in step from release to finished-goods transfer.

An Event Fires
A work order changes status, material falls short at issue, a job card is allocated, or a reject is booked at an operation
The Right Person Is Chosen
The message is routed by work order and work center — supervisor, stores or quality — not blasted to everyone
WhatsApp Delivers It
A plain-language message with the work order, quantity and work center goes out on WhatsApp — no screen to check
It's Logged on the WO
Every message is recorded against the work order, so the production record shows what was sent and when
Every touchpoint

Six WhatsApp moments that keep production
moving — without anyone remembering to send them

Each message is triggered by a real event on a production document — a work-order status change, a shortage at issue, a job-card allocation, a not-OK booking, a line rejection. Nothing depends on a supervisor remembering to type an update.

01 — Work-Order Status Updates

The supervisor knows the plan
changed — without a screen

A work order doesn't sit still: it's released, it's in progress, it's completed. Each status change on the work order maps to a WhatsApp update so the line supervisor knows the plan moved — the item, the quantity and where it is now — without opening the production screen mid-shift.

02 — Shortage & Job-Card Alerts

Stores hear the shortage
before the line waits

The most expensive minute on a shop floor is the one spent waiting for material that never got issued. When a work order can't be fully covered against its BOM at material issue, stores get a shortage alert; when a job card is allocated to an operation, the operator is notified. Each message names the item, the quantity and the work center.

03 — Reject & Rework Nudges

Reject gets seen
the minute it's booked

A not-OK quantity booked at an operation and a line rejection sent to rework are the moments that decide your reject rate — and they're the moments most likely to be logged and forgotten. WhatsApp nudges push them to quality and the rework owner with the work center and quantity named, so the rejection and rework loop starts now, not at the next review.

Everything WhatsApp automation covers

Work-Order Status Updates

Released, in progress, completed — each work-order status change sends the supervisor a plain-language update with the item, quantity and line.

Material-Shortage Alerts

When a work order can't be fully issued against its BOM, stores and the supervisor are alerted with the short item and quantity — before the line waits.

Job-Card Notifications

A job card printed or allocated to an operation notifies the operator or supervisor at that work center, so the packet is picked up and run.

Reject Nudges

A not-OK quantity booked at an operation nudges quality and the supervisor with the work center and quantity — reject is seen as it happens.

Rework Nudges

A line rejection routed to rework nudges the rework owner, so the salvage decision and rework route are actioned, not shelved.

Works With Every Channel

WhatsApp complements the inventory and quality links and email/SMS alerts — the work order is the single record behind every channel.

"Material shortages used to surface when the line had already stopped. Now stores get the WhatsApp the moment a work order can't be issued — the balance material is on its way before the operator asks for it."
