# Shop Floor Milestones

> Track an awarded job through material, machining, QC, and shipping — visible to the buyer in real time.

## Process lanes

An awarded job moves through the lanes set at RFQ time — typically material, machining, finishing, inspection, and shipping. Each lane is marked complete as work finishes, and the buyer sees the same status on their side of the pipeline without needing an update email.

## Logging progress

Milestones can be logged manually from the job board, or automatically from connected shop-floor telemetry where machines report cycle counts and status directly.

## Handoffs

Where a job crosses shops — one supplier machining, another finishing — an incoming shipment is flagged on the receiving side so nothing is marked "in progress" without a corresponding delivery.
