How RamBase Cloud ERP gives you real-time control of labour and production costs, and proof to back it up
Getting the right people on the shop floor is only half the battle.
The real challenge?
Ensuring every hour of labour is accounted for, correctly costed, and aligned with production targets, so nothing is wasted and everything adds value.
When operations are siloed, job costing is reactive, and schedules live in spreadsheets, margins suffer. RamBase fixes that.
🔍 Live Data, Not Guesswork
The screenshot below is from a live RamBase environment. It shows a fully exploded Production Work Order Overview (PWO - OOV) with sub-assemblies, inspection checkpoints, and planned completions, every part, every process, every hour logged.
This isn’t a spreadsheet or static printout. It’s a live, auditable digital twin of your production plan, feeding directly into your cost reports and labour analysis.

📲 Built for the Operator, Not Just the Planner
On the shop floor, every second counts. With RamBase, operators simply:
- Select their station from a mobile or tablet
- Start, pause, or complete tasks
- Log time, materials, and progress automatically
It’s easy. It’s fast. And it captures every touchpoint, all feeding into a live cost roll-up based on the labour rate of each resource.

📅 Planning That Moves with You
RamBase doesn’t just track jobs. RamBase Resource Plan (RPLAN) gives you real-time visibility into:
- Which job is running where
- Colour-coded status at-a-glance
- Ability to reorganise changes to schedule easily if jobs overrun or complete early
Finance, ops, and production are all working from the same source of truth. No rekeying. No delays. No surprises.
