More and more companies are switching to digital work instructions to execute their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) more efficiently and safely.
In this post, you’ll learn how the Work Instruction App uses NFC tags on the shop floor and a digital logbook to make SOPs instantly available to operators — while automatically connecting to Exact Online.
📲 What Are NFC-Driven Work Instructions?
An NFC-driven work instruction is simple: attach an NFC tag to a machine, workstation, or piece of equipment and link that tag to the correct digital SOP inside the app.
When an employee taps their smartphone to the tag, the most up-to-date work instruction instantly appears on the screen.
✅ No more searching for printed manuals or outdated PDFs
✅ Always the latest, approved version of each SOP
✅ Fewer mistakes and faster onboarding of new staff
📝 Why a Digital Logbook Is Essential
The digital logbook in the Work Instruction App enables you to record maintenance, inspections, incidents, and notes in real time — right on site.
Every action is automatically logged with date, time, and operator name, which is invaluable for audits, quality management, and compliance.
🔗 Seamless Integration with Exact Online
A major advantage is the built-in integration with Exact Online.
Maintenance and inspection data flow directly into your ERP/accounting system — eliminating duplicate data entry and ensuring up-to-date information for reporting and analysis.
