What ResourceWorthy does, and what it does not do yet.
This is the earliest of the three, and the map says so honestly. Parts and purchasing, work orders and what each one cost you beside what you quoted it at, machines, stock, quotes, orders, shipments, invoices, bills, payments, capital assets and the books it all posts into are real code today; most of the rest is not built yet. Every row below tells you which it is.
How to read this page
These labels describe what is built, not what is for sale. Nothing on ResourceWorthy is purchasable yet: the suite goes on sale together or not at all.
- Live
- Built and running in the product today.
- In build
- Partly built. Real code, not a plan, and not finished.
- Planned
- Not built. On the map so you can see the whole shape, and so we cannot quietly drop it.
- Declined
- We are not doing this, and the reason is stated rather than left for you to discover.
Running today
Job costing, parts and work orders
LiveQuote a job from what parts and machine time actually cost you, run it, and see what it cost beside what you quoted, line by line: what went over or under, what you quoted that nothing was booked against, and what was done that was never on the quote. If one quote became several jobs, it says so rather than guess how to split the figures.
BUILD: Ours to build properly. This is the product.
For: The owner who quotes and then wonders
Measured against: ERPNext
Parts and revisions, work orders and the time booked against each one run today, and a work order opened from a quote you sent carries what it has cost you beside what you quoted it at. The planned side of that comparison is worked out from standard times set against a part revision, so a job with no standard set shows the real figures and says plainly that there is nothing to measure them against.
Routings
LiveThe ordered list of operations a part goes through, so a work order reaches the floor already knowing its own steps.
BUILD: Ours to build properly. This is the product.
For: Whoever plans the work
Measured against: ERPNext
Each part revision carries its own steps in the order you number them. A work order shows which step it is on, and a quote works out its build labor from those steps and the standard time set for each one.
Ledger and accounting
LiveEvery posting this company has made and what caused each one, in a books file you can download for your bookkeeper.
HOLD: We take what you already have. We will not sell you a replacement.
For: The bookkeeper
Your chart of accounts, every posting with the record that caused it, and what you earned and what you hold and owe over any range of days all run today. Nothing here works out tax of any kind, and this product files nothing with anybody. Connecting your own QuickBooks company is not open to customers yet.
Being built now
Labels
In buildA tag that knows the lot, the part revision and the calibration status, and prints the same next month as it did today.
BUILD: Ours to build properly. This is the product.
For: Whoever prints the tag
Measured against: ZebraDesigner Essentials
Zebra lists no web or mobile edition, so printing from the tablet on the floor is not something the free tool does.
Documents, PDF fill and signing
In buildOpen it, fill it, sign it, and have the signed copy attached to the record it is evidence for.
BUILD: Ours to build properly. This is the product.
For: Everyone
Measured against: The free PDF readers
Four different things wear the word 'editor'. Viewing, filling and signing yourself are in build; sending it to someone else to sign is not.
Planned, and not built yet
Word processor and spreadsheet
PlannedOpen what a customer emailed, write the quote letter, build the worksheet, send the PDF.
MATCH: Meet the free alternative for the jobs you actually do, never a feature race.
For: The office manager
Measured against: LibreOffice Writer and Calc
Presentations
PlannedBuild the toolbox talk, present it on the screen in the break room, hand out the PDF.
MATCH: Meet the free alternative for the jobs you actually do, never a feature race.
For: The office manager
Measured against: LibreOffice Impress
Drawings: view, plot, redline
PlannedOpen the customer's drawing, read the dimensions, plot it to scale, mark it up.
MATCH: Meet the free alternative for the jobs you actually do, never a feature race.
For: The buyer who plots a drawing to scale
Measured against: LibreCAD
The engineer keeps the tool they design in. What lands here is the released drawing, bound to the revision it belongs to.
Diagramming
PlannedDraw the process, and have the diagram travel with the procedure it documents.
MATCH: Meet the free alternative for the jobs you actually do, never a feature race.
For: Anyone drawing a process
Measured against: draw.io
draw.io is free and excellent. This is not a line on your invoice.
Design and studio
PlannedThe price sheet, the label artwork, the sign on the door.
MATCH: Meet the free alternative for the jobs you actually do, never a feature race.
For: The office manager making a price sheet
Design here exports RGB, and the dialog says RGB. Work going to a commercial press belongs in a print shop's tool.
Machine and fleet telemetry
PlannedIf you already have it, we take the feed and put it beside the job it belongs to.
HOLD: We take what you already have. We will not sell you a replacement.
For: The owner
We never sell you the box.
Simulation
PlannedWhere the bottleneck is.
POINT: We point you at the answer rather than owning the category.
Your answer comes from your own history, not from a model of it.
What we have decided not to do
Design of experiments
DeclinedStructured experimentation and hypothesis testing.
DECLINED: Out of scope on purpose.
A real discipline, and not ours. What you get instead is every job you already ran, costed the same way, so the comparison is a query rather than a study.
If something you need is not on this list
Tell us. A map with gaps in it is more useful than one that pretends there are none, and the gaps are where we decide what to build next.
