ResourceWorthy

Capabilities

What ResourceWorthy will do.

This is the earliest of the three, and the map says so honestly. Parts, labels and documents 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.

Being built now

Job costing, items, routings and work orders

In build

Quote a job, run it, and see afterwards what it actually cost — parts, labor, rework and the time nobody wrote down.

BUILDOurs to build properly. This is the product.

For: The owner who quotes and then wonders

Measured against: ERPNext

Parts and revisions exist today. Routings, work orders and the quote-versus-actual comparison do not yet.

Labels

In build

A tag that knows the lot, the part revision and the calibration status — and prints the same next month as it did today.

BUILDOurs 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 build

Open it, fill it, sign it, and have the signed copy attached to the record it is evidence for.

BUILDOurs 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

Planned

Open what a customer emailed, write the quote letter, build the worksheet, send the PDF.

MATCHMeet the free alternative for the jobs you actually do — never a feature race.

For: The office manager

Measured against: LibreOffice Writer and Calc

Presentations

Planned

Build the toolbox talk, present it on the screen in the break room, hand out the PDF.

MATCHMeet 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

Planned

Open the customer's drawing, read the dimensions, plot it to scale, mark it up.

MATCHMeet 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

Planned

Draw the process, and have the diagram travel with the procedure it documents.

MATCHMeet 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

Planned

The price sheet, the label artwork, the sign on the door.

MATCHMeet 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

Planned

If you already have it, we take the feed and put it beside the job it belongs to.

HOLDWe take what you already have. We will not sell you a replacement.

For: The owner

We never sell you the box.

Ledger and accounting

Planned

The seam to your books.

HOLDWe take what you already have. We will not sell you a replacement.

For: The bookkeeper

Deliberately unspecified here. Two internal rulings bear on this and neither has been settled, so promising a shape now would be guessing in public.

Simulation

Planned

Where the bottleneck is.

POINTWe 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

Declined

Structured experimentation and hypothesis testing.

DECLINEDOut 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.
