Workflow Guidance

Every staff member following the right process

Livestork guides staff through every workflow with contextual prompts, structured steps, and real-time recommendations. Consistent operations regardless of experience level, and dramatically faster onboarding for new staff.

Consistency depends on who is working today

Inconsistent practices

Without guided workflows, each staff member does tasks their own way. Records are incomplete, approvals are skipped, and processes break when a key person is absent.

Long training cycles

Training new staff to operate correctly takes weeks because the process knowledge lives in people's heads, not in the system.

Errors discovered late

Mistakes in batch records, GRNs, or health documentation often surface in reporting, after the record has already affected operational decisions.

What workflow guidance includes

Step-by-step process guidance

Complex workflows, such as procurement, batch close-out, and disease response, are broken into sequential steps with clear instructions at each point.

Contextual prompts

Livestork surfaces relevant information and recommendations at the moment you need them: weighing session tips during recording, health protocols during event logging.

Best-practice recommendations

Industry best practices are embedded in the workflow: vaccination timing reminders, FCR deviation alerts, withdrawal period warnings.

Approval chains

Multi-step approvals for procurement, credit notes, and write-offs are enforced in the workflow; no step can be skipped or bypassed.

Consistency across staff

Every staff member follows the same guided process regardless of experience level. Operational quality doesn't depend on institutional knowledge held by one person.

Reduced training time

New staff can complete standard workflows independently from their first week because the system guides them through each step with context.

Consistent

The same process every time, regardless of who is working

Faster

New staff complete standard workflows independently from week one

Enforced

Approval steps and mandatory fields cannot be skipped

Common questions

What is workflow guidance and how is it different from standard ERP forms?

Standard ERP forms present a blank set of fields to fill. Livestork's workflow guidance presents each step of a process sequentially with contextual help text, recommendations, and validation at each stage. The system ensures you've completed the relevant prior steps before moving forward, preventing partial records and common entry errors.

Can I customise the guidance prompts for our specific operation?

Many guidance elements are configurable: FCR thresholds, withdrawal period rules, and approval chain sequences can be adjusted to your operation's standards. Core workflow sequences (batch lifecycle, procurement approval, GRN process) follow the Livestork standard for consistency and audit compliance.

How does workflow guidance reduce training time?

New staff can complete their first daily production record, first GRN, or first purchase request independently because the system guides them through each step. Contextual help text explains what to enter and why. The guided approach means a new store keeper can process a goods received note correctly from day one without requiring a supervisor to walk through it with them.

Does workflow guidance work on mobile devices?

Yes. Livestork is designed to work on any device: desktop, tablet, or mobile phone. Daily production recording, which staff typically complete on the farm floor, is optimised for mobile input with large touch targets, simplified forms, and offline queuing for areas with poor connectivity.
