Connected Production Workflow

How It Works

JC’s Product Manager digitizes your production workflow from product definition to customer delivery. Every step is connected, visible, and in sync so nothing falls through the cracks.

Core data model

Products define what you sell

Each product keeps pricing, margin, images, files, category, and order creation context in one repeatable template.

Components define what must be built

Components break products into build steps or parts with quantities, instructions, custom values, notes, and status.

Materials connect requirements to inventory

Materials represent reusable supplies and link to components so on-hand availability is confirmed before work proceeds.

Orders create the production packet

Orders inherit the product and component structure, then capture customer details, priority, readiness, and progress.

System Architecture

Core production data flows through JC Product Manager.

Products

Define what you sell and the repeatable templates for production.

Components

Break products into build steps or parts with quantities and instructions.

JC Product Manager

Tenant-isolated production database. Products • Components • Materials • Orders • Kanban • External tracking.

Materials

Link components to inventory and verify availability in real time.

Orders

Create the production packet and track progress end to end.

Workflow Overview

From order intake to delivery with real-time visibility.

Order Intake

Orders start from manual entry or the optional Etsy integration.

Readiness Check

Required components and materials are checked against on-hand inventory.

Kanban Tracking

Order components move through Ready to Build, In Production, QA / Assembly, and Completed.

Bambu Hub

Provides real-time local printer status, device assignment, camera frames, and branded timelapse capture.

Customer Tracking

Customers see live status, device names, and completed-order timelapse videos without admin access.

Progress stays visible without exposing the admin workspace.

Customers can look up approved order details from the public tracking page while the internal team keeps production controls protected behind login.

Order Found: The public tracker confirms the order, stage, customer-safe status, and next step.

Customer Video: Completed orders can include branded timelapse media and device context.

From shop floor to customer story

The public experience is powered by the same operational data used by the shop.

1. Order is created

The production packet is generated from the product, components, custom values, and required materials.

2. Devices do the work

Components move through production and can be assigned to named devices with job context.

3. Video is attached

Captured media and device details can be added to the completed customer-facing order story.
