Why have a team management app?

Applications for the management of a remote team in a company, seem to be increasingly popular, and recently (due to the obvious situation) are experiencing a real boom. Such solutions are very good for improving the company's operations. The main task of these platforms is to improve communication.

In a small company with, let's say, less than 10 employees, the ease of communication and the effects of that communication will be much higher than in the case of an enterprise with 5,000 employees, and the resilience of the company's operations depends on the efficiency of the flow of information. In a smaller team of people, it's easier to simply establish ongoing activities and orchestrate their execution. Large companies are usually divided into teams, and their leaders communicate with each other the direction and sequence of processes. The leader (manager) himself delegates individual activities to team members at the basic level of the company, such as line workers - production.

The consequences of employees not understanding each other, in the case of enterprises engaged in, for example, production, and already in the case of a relatively small enterprise, can be lamentable. Take the example of the operator of a milling machine, who was given the task of cutting steel cubes of certain shapes. The worker made a mistake and made this subassembly in a full quantity of, for example, 50 pieces with the wrong dimensions. The entire further production process of the device with these components is impossible to continue, not to mention the loss of materials, etc. To avoid such misunderstandings, professional tools are used, in which tasks are ordered clearly and transparently in writing on applications. Every employee equipped with the software even on his phone has his responsibilities visible at all times.

Virtually every management tool has this basic task. However, there are some that work in a far more comprehensive way. Automatically creating reports or adding procedures, company status, company policies to the general view are just a few very useful features of professional management systems. All such tools are even crucial for management staff in carrying out their duties. In general, the more elaborate the tool, the more accurate the "exercise of supervision" over the various aspects of the company's operations.

In the case of a larger company, the same role is performed by more than one employee. For example, we have 10 turners, and we need to order the manufacture of a component for a customer complex enough to require the skills of a lathe operator at a far higher than basic level. How do we know which employee to assign to handle the task? Here I would like to introduce a revolutionary feature of our Heuresis Smart Manager. Our competence qualification system, allows us to "sort out" the degree of our employees, so we can quickly appoint the right person to perform the task. You can see more features and a practical description of our Smart in our previous post.
