🏭 Labour Management Software for a Plastic Moulding Factory
A moulding unit runs on machines, shifts and operators, and the paperwork around them often sits in registers, Excel sheets and WhatsApp messages. LabourFlow ERP brings workforce, machine-wise production, scrap, payroll and client billing onto one platform. This page explains how a moulding factory can use it day to day.
The usual daily routine in a moulding unit, before software
In many plastic moulding units, the shift supervisor notes shots or pieces per machine on paper, attendance is taken in a register, and rejections are counted at the end of the shift, if at all. At month end, someone sits down to rebuild each operator's output and work out wages.
This creates familiar problems: output figures that do not match between shifts, disputes about piece counts, scrap that nobody can trace to a machine or operator, and late payroll.
- Paper or Excel entries per machine and shift
- Attendance and production kept separately
- Scrap and rejection recorded late or not at all
- Manual wage calculation at month end
- Invoices prepared by hand from production figures
The routine after: machine, shift and operator in one system
With LabourFlow ERP, the supervisor enters output in a daily grid, organised by factory, department, shift, machine and operator. The app has an offline mode with background sync, so entries are not lost if the network drops on the shop floor.
Rejection and scrap are logged along with the production entry, so you can look at them by machine, shift or operator instead of guessing at the end of the month.
- Attendance through QR kiosk, badge scan or bulk Excel entry
- Output logged by machine, shift and operator
- Rejection and scrap logged with the same entry
- Overtime and leave approvals recorded
- Dashboards show live production and profit
Features that help a moulding factory
Moulding work is often paid per piece or per shot, with some staff on daily or monthly wages. LabourFlow ERP supports piece-rate, daily and monthly wage models, and hybrid payroll that handles them together.
- 3-way piece-rate calculation: customer price, worker rate and contractor margin
- Multiple shifts and night shifts
- Worker profiles, KYC and document records, with Aadhaar shown masked
- ID cards with QR badges for quick attendance
- Daily advances with automatic deductions in payroll
- Payslips to print or share on WhatsApp
- Role-based access so supervisors, HR and accounts see only what they need
From production to payroll and invoice
Once production is approved, wages can flow into payroll and the same approved output can be used to raise client invoices. Bulk bank or UPI payouts are possible through RazorpayX, made from your own RazorpayX account; LabourFlow does not hold money.
GST invoice PDF or print, payment status and customer and vendor ledgers are part of the platform, so accounts can see receivables next to production. Labour-law matters such as PF, ESI and overtime rules differ by state and change over time, so confirm your setup with a labour-law consultant or CA.
Frequently asked questions
Can I track output machine-wise and shift-wise?
Yes. Production can be tracked by factory, department, shift, machine and operator through the supervisor's daily grid, with rejection and scrap logged alongside.
Does it work if the internet is poor on the shop floor?
LabourFlow ERP has an offline mode with background sync for production entry, so data can be synced once the connection returns.
Can it handle piece-rate wages for moulding operators?
Yes. It supports piece-rate, daily and monthly wage models, and hybrid payroll, with a 3-way calculation of customer price, worker rate and contractor margin.
What is the price of the software?
Pricing depends on the number of workers and modules you use; ask us for a quote.
