The checklist,done thesame way.

Ombric keeps your written procedures and recurring checklists in one place. Every shift opens the same sheet, ticks the same steps on a phone, and leaves a time-stamped record of who did what.

Correction, rev. 2 ↘

Most procedures are written once and followed roughly.the same way, every shift.

The binder by the back door. The group chat. The way the morning lead does it, which is not quite how the evening lead does it.

Ombric turns that into a sheet people actually open: one step at a time, in the order you wrote it, with the tick, the time and the initials kept for later.

A demo day at Store 2

One shift,four sheets.

Each sheet is ticked on a phone, initialled, time-stamped, then filed with the rest of the day.
