You know the problem

Everyone tracks jobs differently. Nobody trusts the spreadsheet. The boss walks the floor to find out what's going on.

Spreadsheet chaos

  • Multiple versions, nobody knows which is current
  • No audit trail — who changed what?
  • Breaks at 500+ rows
  • Can't view on the shop floor
  • Sorting destroys formulas

GlyphFex clarity

  • Single file is the only source of truth
  • Full audit trail for every change
  • Handles 1,000+ jobs smoothly
  • Shop Floor kiosk + TV Display Board
  • Pipeline stages that match YOUR workflow

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Built by someone who was tired of tracking jobs in Excel. If your shop runs jobs through stages, GlyphFex was made for you.

Pipeline Stages

Define your workflow — Quote, Design, Production, Review, Complete — or whatever fits your business. Multiple named pipelines supported.

Audit Trail

Every change logged with timestamp and user. ISO 9001 / AS9100 ready. Never wonder "who moved this job?" again.

Shop Floor Display

Kiosk mode with large touch-friendly buttons. Clock in/out, advance stages, add notes. TV Display Board for Andon-style visibility.

QR Code Travelers

Print job traveler PDFs with QR codes. Scan with any USB barcode reader to instantly pull up the job on screen.

Analytics Dashboard

KPI cards, pipeline charts, SLA compliance, bottleneck analysis. See where jobs are stuck — without walking the floor.

Gantt Calendar

Visual timeline of all jobs across pipeline stages. Day, week, and month views. Drag to reschedule.

Multi-User Ready

Solo mode (single file) or team mode (SQL Server Express). Admin, Editor, and Viewer roles. Windows Authentication — no passwords.

Export Everything

PDF reports, Excel spreadsheets, CSV for QuickBooks, and printable job travelers. Your data is never locked in.

Due Date Alerts

Automatic notifications when jobs are approaching or past due. SLA tracking per pipeline stage with business calendar awareness.

Up and running in 5 minutes

No servers. No cloud accounts. No IT department. Just install and go.

1

Install

Download the MSI installer. Double-click. Done. Works on any Windows 10/11 PC.

3

Start tracking

Create your first entry. Tag it. Move it through stages. Everything is saved to a single .glyphfex file — copy it, back it up, email it.

4

Example: 15-person shop

1 Admin + 4 Editors + 10 Viewers on the shop floor

$499 (Admin) + 4 × $199 (Editors) + 10 × $0 (Viewers) = $1,295/year

That's less than one month of the cheapest ERP.

Frequently asked questions

A .glyphfex file is a single SQLite database that contains all your entries, tags, pipeline configurations, attachments, and audit history. You can copy it, back it up to a USB drive, email it to a colleague, or store it on a network share. No server required.

No. GlyphFex works 100% offline. The only time you need internet is to download the installer and activate your license. After that, everything runs locally on your machine.

GlyphFex runs on Windows 10 (version 1903 or later) and Windows 11. Both x64 and ARM64 are supported. Mac and Linux versions are not currently available.

Team mode uses SQL Server Express (free from Microsoft) running on your local network. No cloud, no subscription to Microsoft. GlyphFex connects via Windows Authentication — no extra passwords. Your IT person (or you) runs a one-time SQL Server setup, then everyone on the LAN connects automatically.

Yes. GlyphFex imports CSV files with automatic field mapping. Export your Excel tracker as CSV, import into GlyphFex, and your entries are created with tags, custom fields, and pipeline stages mapped automatically.

GlyphFex records a full audit trail for every change — who changed what, when, and what the previous value was. This provides the traceability that ISO 9001 and AS9100 auditors look for. You can export the audit history as PDF or CSV for compliance documentation.

Because visibility shouldn't have a price tag. Put GlyphFex on every shop floor PC, every TV display, every manager's desk. The more people who can SEE what's going on, the faster your shop runs. You only pay for people who need to CREATE or EDIT entries.

Your data is always yours. The .glyphfex file is a standard SQLite database. If you stop renewing, you keep read-only access to all your data and can export everything to CSV or PDF. We never hold your data hostage.
