Extrusia Link · Product 03 — the leadership view

See your plant without digging through the ERP: production dashboards and wallboards for window manufacturers.

Owners and managers shouldn't have to run four reports and walk the floor to know where the business stands. Link reads the live operation and answers the questions leadership actually asks: where are we, what's behind, what's changing, and what needs my attention.

One read on the whole plant

Link is the leadership view of the Extrusia Software Suite. It draws from the same database as Extrusia ERP — the same orders, the same scans from the same benches — so the number on the owner's screen is the number on the floor's wallboard and the number in the office. Nobody exports a spreadsheet to build it.

It was built to replace a plant's own home-grown dashboard, row for row, so nothing a manager relied on was lost in the move.

Schedule
Every job on the floor, every bench, in build order
Benches
Waiting, cutting, in process, scanning, complete
Ready
Jobs finished and waiting to ship or be collected
Money
Collections by rep and category, year on year

What Link shows

The production schedule

Every job in production with a cell for each bench — frame, sash, screen, glass, assembly, QC, shipping — green when the barcode was read there. A job leaves the schedule when the plant has finished it, and moves to ready-to-ship.

Plant priority

The plant's own order of work: a manager puts a job first through fifth and every bench board and kiosk builds in that order. Moving a job never pretends it is a rush; rush is the customer's.

Goals and the working week

Daily and weekly goals per bench against what was actually scanned, on the plant's own working week — a four-day plant is graded on four days, never on a Friday nobody worked.

Late and at-risk orders

Late work on the floor, late trucks, overdue supplier deliveries and orders approaching the date you promised — measured against what you committed to, not what the customer hoped for.

Ready to ship and pickups

The ready-to-ship board, pickup sheets and what has been collected, with automatic "your order is ready" emails to customers.

Sales collections

Cash collected this month and last by sales rep and category, year to date against last year, plus deposits taken before an invoice exists — reconciled to the cent.

Wallboards for the floor

Any screen can become a wallboard: the plant-wide schedule on the TV by the office, each bench's own board above the bench. Boards update when something actually changes on the floor rather than reloading on a timer, so a wall of TVs costs almost nothing to run. A bench's board shows the orders it has to work, which windows can be built today, and which are waiting on glass — and if something stops working, the bench can raise a support request from the board itself.

The morning huddle, written for you

Every morning, on your own clock, Extrusia composes the brief for the production meeting — what was built yesterday against goal, what is late, what is at risk, what is waiting — and emails it, or prints it to the printer by the meeting table. The same facts that drive the dashboards, in words.

Ask instead of searching

Link is the at-a-glance view; Josie is the conversation. "Which orders are at risk of being late?" "How is production doing today?" "Which customers are past due?" — answered from the live operation, in seconds.

Extrusia Link — common questions

Does Link need its own data entry?

No. Link reads the same orders, scans and payments as Extrusia ERP. If a bench scans a window, Link knows.

Can we put it on TVs on the plant floor?

Yes. Any browser on a TV or monitor can show the plant schedule or a single bench's board full-screen, and it keeps itself current.

Who can see the money?

Access follows each person's role. Collections and receivables are shown to the people allowed to see them; what the company owes suppliers is limited to super administrators.
