Swarf vs Whiteboard

Your whiteboard is doing its job.
Until it isnt.

Most shops start with a whiteboard. Its free, works great, everyone can see it. If youre one guy running two machines, its probably still the right tool. We arent gonna tell you otherwise.

Then you hire a second shift. A customer calls asking wheres their order and the guy who knows the answer already went home. Someone wipes the board clean without thinking. Thats when whiteboards start costing you real money in jobs you never shipped.

At some point the whiteboard starts losing you jobs

A whiteboard is the cheapest tool in your shop and for a lot of guys it works fine. Three machines, one guy whos been running them since 1998. Fine. Leave it alone.

Once you hit two shifts or your lead needs to check a job from his phone at 7pm or youve got four sharpie notes that just say "Johnson" and you cant remember which Johnson, the whiteboard turns into a liability. Lost jobs cost real money. Happens to every shop that grows past a certain point.

Swarf keeps the board feel. Columns, cards, drag, drop. Same thing you already know. We just added the stuff a whiteboard physically cant do. Attachments, search, history, phone access, nothing gets erased. Nothing crazy.
