WIP Mate. Quietly keeping work moving.
Alongside your working day

Your work, as usual.
WIP Mate at your side.

WIP Mate checks which orders need following up, chases suppliers and updates your existing work records. More room for you to get on with everything else.

AN EXCEL WIP EXAMPLE

From purchase order to ready to invoice.

For repeat orders needing no proofing, drop the PO into your WIP Mate folder. It creates the WIP entry, chases the delivery and obtains any required POD. Confirmed deliveries move to Ready to Invoice. Anything needing your judgement comes to you.

Use a CRM instead? WIP Mate integrates with your existing system, following up the orders already there and keeping records updated.

How it helps

A quiet presence.
A useful difference.

01 / WHEN THINGS ARE ON TRACK

Quiet is a
good sign.

Routine follow-ups and updates carry on in the background. You can check in when you want to, while anything needing your judgement comes to your attention.

Charlene’s story: the answer was already there ↗
All quiet. I’m keeping an eye on things. Nothing needs your judgement.

02 / WHEN SOMETHING NEEDS YOU

The decision
stays yours.

A changed delivery. A supplier’s question. The context comes together, ready for your judgement.

Charlene’s story: a change of plan ↗
Needs You: PO 57014286 for Stephen. Display items from Example Displays, due Monday. The supplier says the delivery date will move. Your judgement is needed.

03 / WHEN YOU TAKE TIME AWAY

04 / WHEN YOUR DAY CHANGES

When your day changes,
your work stays
looked after.

A day with clients. A long journey. Something important to finish. Flex lets you place selected accounts with a colleague for the time you need.

WIP Mate identifies incoming emails relating to your selected accounts and their jobs, whether from clients or suppliers, and passes them to your chosen colleague. They receive the correspondence they need to look after those accounts, without taking on your whole inbox.

WIP Mate keeps routine follow-ups moving and brings anything needing a decision to that colleague. The accounts stay yours.
