The tools
Run your business
with a clear workflow
Work orders
Raise the work order with what is to be made, the quantity, the due date, the person in charge and the delivery location, and follow its status: new, released, issued, produced, closed. The manufacturing dashboard shows open, overdue and produced this month.
Approval chains
Decide which transactions need sign-off and who signs them: a sales order, an expense or a work order, with up to five levels. Assign a level to a role rather than a person so work does not stop when someone is away, and every approval and rejection is logged with user, level and time.
Tasks and follow-ups
Break the work into tasks, each with an owner, a deadline and a priority, link them to a project, customer or supplier, and mark the billable ones. Every employee has a personal to-do list and ticks off what is done with their name and time.
Recurring tasks and branches
Whatever repeats on a fixed schedule, invoices or tasks, the system generates on time automatically without anyone remembering it. Assign every transaction to a branch, then a department, and read the costs of every site and team separately.
Why WEDATA
Operations
visible and accountable
Audit trail
Who did what, when, in which company and financial year, to return to whenever something changes.
Login history
Every sign-in with its user, address and time, to spot unusual access.
Roles
Permissions per job function, and the menu shows only what the user is allowed to reach.
Void, not delete
A transaction that created a journal entry is voided rather than deleted, so its trace remains.
Attachments
Documents and photos on any transaction from its view window.
Attendance and shifts
Shifts and daily attendance for employees in the same HR module.
Integrations
Operations and accounts
in one system
A work order issues its components from stock, receives its production into it and calculates its cost, a billable task goes into the project invoice, and a transaction is not posted before its approval completes, so what happens in the field matches the books.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
about operations management
What operations managers ask most before getting started.
-
Do work orders suit a non-manufacturing business?
Yes. A work order suits any job done in stages, and for services that need no stocked components you use tasks and projects.
-
What happens when the approver is away?
Assign the approval level to a role rather than a person, so anyone in that role can approve, and a rule can be deactivated temporarily instead of deleted.
-
How do I find out who changed a figure?
From the audit trail: filter by company and period and work forward until you find the action and its user, then check the login history if you doubt the account.
-
Do recurring tasks appear on their own?
Yes. Define the task, its interval and start date, and the system generates it on time without anyone remembering it.
-
Can I read each branch's costs separately?
Yes. Enable dimensions, assign every transaction to its branch and department, then read the branch and department reports.
