Features · A day in the workshop, walked through once

You are not planning software.
You are planning your day in the workshop.

Gantway is not a toolbox, it is a workflow. Six focus areas, over thirty features — built for a single job: making your day hold up. Sorted by the six hours when something is at stake in your workshop.

What we don't build

Three sentences about what is deliberately left out.

We build one thing right. Not thirty half-baked ones.

One continuous view from order intake to final costing. Built for businesses between 5 and 50 people — outgrown Excel, too small for SAP. Anything you would have to maintain instead of work with does not belong in it.

No second CRM No mini-SAP No interface tinkering
06:30 Morning round

First , see what collides.

Seven orders on the whiteboard. Three of them due today — and one is missing a fitting that no one is sure was ever ordered.

One view for the whole workshop. Conflicts show up on it before anyone schedules them in.

Digital Desk

One desk for the whole workshop.

Board, Gantt, and utilization display in one view. Operated by drag & drop, with eight zoom levels from quarter-hour detail to the monthly overview.

Digital Desk in detail
Conflict Engine

One step shifts, the rest follows.

Every task knows its predecessors. When a work step shifts, the dependent dates recalculate on their own — and whatever no longer fits, Gantway reports immediately, with a suggested solution.

Conflict Engine in detail

06:37 h

The round is done. Everyone knows what is on for today — and the missing fitting is a flagged conflict with a suggested fix, not a surprise at eleven.

09:15 Customer window

Quote out , margin in.

A regular customer on the phone wants a change order. Next to it, a quote for the medical-practice extension that has been waiting since Tuesday. Both need to go out before the workshop comes knocking at half past nine.

From the call to an approved order in a single pass. The software works out the margin as you go.

Quotes & Customer Portal

From quote to order release.

Write quotes, calculate costs, send them as a PDF, have customers accept them through a secure portal — all in one system. Snapshot on send, automatic order creation on acceptance.

Quotes & Customer Portal in detail
Order Management

No order slips through. From draft to completion.

Every order runs through a clear workflow with five statuses. Tasks, materials, times, comments and history are bundled in one detail view — always current, always visible to everyone.

Order Management in detail Pre- and Post-Costing

What was planned, what actually happened.

Per order and per line item, you calculate labor, materials, and machine costs. As soon as the workshop gets to work, Gantway compares plan and actual — down to the hour, down to the euro.

Pre- and Post-Costing in detail

09:41 h

Both quotes are out — with a calculated margin instead of gut feeling. If the customer accepts in the portal tonight, the order is in the board, approved, first thing tomorrow morning.

11:00 Delivery time

What's here , what's coming, what's missing.

The delivery van pulls into the yard. Two pallets of chipboard, a crate of fittings — and no one knows offhand which order can start now and which still has to wait.

Stock, requirements and purchase orders in one log. Every task tells you itself whether it is clear to start.

Materials & Procurement

Materials always in view. Down to the last screw.

Keep inventory levels, derive requirements from orders, track purchase orders — and make it clear to the employee at a glance whether they can start their task.

Materials & Procurement in detail

11:12 h

Goods receipt booked. Four tasks that were waiting on material are automatically released — and whatever is missing is already sitting with purchasing as an order suggestion.

12:30 Lunch break

Clock in , no paper slips.

Thirty minutes' break. Three journeymen are logging hours after the fact, one wants vacation in August — and once again no one is going to type up the slip on the workbench today.

A time clock compliant with working-hours law. Vacation requests with a conflict check. Month-end close as a PDF, without an afternoon in Excel.

Time Tracking & Time Clock

Hours recorded, the law in view.

Digital time clock with automatic checks against the German Working Hours Act, audit-proof corrections, and a monthly PDF time record per employee.

Time Tracking & Time Clock in detail
Vacation & Absence

Plan vacation, without blowing deadlines.

A complete approval workflow for vacation, sick leave, and special leave. Integrated with the conflict engine — before a vacation is approved, you see which tasks are affected.

Vacation & Absence in detail

12:58 h

Hours logged after the fact, vacation checked against the schedule and approved. The slip on the workbench stays blank — and the month-end close is a single click when the month is over.

15:45 Afternoon

Who can do what , who calls when.

A staff review in two hours. You want to know what he worked on over the past year — and whether he still needs training for the CNC machine.

A personnel file with hourly rate, qualifications and history. A CRM that does not overwhelm a workshop.

Employees & Qualifications

Employees in profile, knowledge at hand.

All relevant data for each employee — contract, working hours, hourly rate, qualifications, order history. So you know who can do what and who is available when.

Employees & Qualifications in detail
CRM & Customer Management

Customer data that grows with every order.

A central customer database with master data, contacts, tags and complete history. On every inquiry you immediately see what happened last.

CRM & Customer Management in detail

15:47 h

Two minutes of prep instead of digging through files: order history, hourly rate and qualifications are on the table during the review — including the outstanding CNC training.

17:00 Night watch

Lights out , files closed.

Last click, shop-floor lights off. Who changed what is in the audit log. Who is allowed to see what is handled by the system — even when no one is watching anymore.

A dashboard per role. An audit log for every change. Tenant isolation secured twice over.

Dashboard & Reports

One view that overlooks nothing.

Role-specific dashboard with eleven displays for orders, conflicts, materials, utilization and quotes. Planners, team leads and employees each see the metrics that are relevant to their tasks.

Dashboard & Reports in detail
Permissions, Audit & Security

Who sees what, who may do what — fully traceable.

Five predefined roles with individual additional permissions per user. Immutable audit log. Multi-tenant isolation at the database level with two independent protective layers.

Permissions, Audit & Security in detail

17:04 h

Shop-floor lights off. What happened today is in the audit log — what is coming tomorrow is waiting, sorted, in the dashboard. Clocking off with no open questions.

Halftime

Sound familiar?

A fifteen-minute demo, walked through your own real orders. No contract, no follow-up call, no PowerPoint.
