Overview

This program is used to create and track work orders on the web. The administrator of the program controls who can have access to enter and modify orders. For example, as a client, you may only be allowed to view progress of work orders or you may be allowed to enter and update work orders. Staff have access to see what work has been assigned to them, accept the orders and update progress.  Managers have full access to update and delete orders.

As a web application, users can access the program from any location via the Internet or through your local network. You can work from any platform supporting a web browser, including UNIX machines, PCs and Macs.
