REALTRAC Features
Shop Management
This one is the core manufacturing job module. It includes the site-listed functions production jobs, quoting, job order, routing, job costing, and shipping and invoicing. It helps a shop take a customer request, build an estimate, convert it into a production job, define each manufacturing operation, track costs, and complete shipment and invoicing. Because of that, estimators and sales teams can generate faster, and accurate quotes. Meanwhile owners and project managers can immediately check live profit margins on any active job.
Data Collection
Data Collection is the area used to capture what is happening on the shop floor. REALTRAC lists employee piece count panel and shop floor control within this solution group. Shop-floor employees can record time, work sessions, job progress, and production quantities against the relevant job and operation. This matters because a manufacturing job can appear profitable in an estimate but become unprofitable if labor takes longer than planned; parts are rejected, or work is waiting at a machine. Without actual shop-floor data, a manager only knows what was planned, not what is truly happening.
Scheduling
REALTRAC lists Rightboard, loading, open job status, and complex job and assemblies under this area. This all helps the shop decide what work should be done, when it should be done, and on which machine or work center. Through this, a scheduler can see a bottleneck, move urgent work forward, or avoid assigning too much work to one machine. Operators gain a clearer view of their next priority, and managers can better assess whether customer delivery dates remain realistic.
Purchasing And Inventory
This operational module ensures that the materials needed to build custom orders are available when production begins. This area exists because owners and managers need more than order and machine information. They also need a view of quality requirements, employee attendance, operational performance, task completion, launch readiness, and compliance-related activity. For example, a manufacturer preparing to ship a complex part may need to ensure that setup tasks, inspection tasks, production tasks, and shipping tasks are completed in the correct order.
Accounting Integration And Tax Reporting
This is an interoperability framework built to connect manufacturing data to financial ledger ecosystems. It automatically syncs finalized customer invoices and vendor POs straight into platforms like QuickBooks or Sage 50. This eliminates double data entry entirely. It benefits bookkeepers and CFOs who want to ensure their accounts receivable, accounts payable, and general ledgers match shop floor realities without rekeying receipts.

“Realtrac”
Pros
I am very happy with the feature that allows me to attach drawings to Part Numbers when creating a new order. It saves me so much time as the drawings are automatically pulled up every time I process an order, eliminating the need to search through files.
Cons
I wish there was a more convenient way to input a material list.

“REALTRAC POSSIBLY THE FUTURE OF SHOP FLOOR SCHEDULING”
Pros
The search functions are effortless to use, and I appreciate the ability to customize reports and create custom pages tailored to my specific desktop needs.
Cons
There are still some missing features, but I appreciate that Realtrac takes the time to listen to our ideas and potentially include them in future updates. This is great for me, and hopefully, it helps them sell more of their product.
