Adoption should describe whether the required workflow is being completed reliably.
Measuring Software Adoption in a Manufacturing TeamAdoption should describe whether the required workflow is being completed reliably. Login counts alone cannot show that jobs, materials, and labor records are useful. Define a small set of behaviors connected to the reason the software was introduced.
A hypothetical team logs in daily, but material issues are still recorded in a separate spreadsheet. Usage is visible while the inventory workflow remains unadopted. The relevant measure is complete, reconciled movement capture.
Separate access problems, unclear instructions, poor data, and unnecessary steps. Each needs a different response; more reminders will not fix all of them.
Bring one representative cabinet job to a Millbase demonstration. Follow the project and its recorded costs, inspect the inventory workflow, and review live floor activity. Ask the person who will use each screen to perform the task and check the resulting record.
Ask the Millbase AI agent a question grounded in your workspace records. For example: “For this project, compare estimated and actual labour and show the workers and workstations behind the total.” You can select a project or worker, ask follow-up questions, and request supported reports and CSV exports.
Check the result against the same project records and try a follow-up question. Confirm any required integration, import, export, or specialist planning workflow during the demonstration rather than inferring it from the software category.

It can provide context, but it should not stand in for successful workflow completion or data quality.
Use them to understand and improve the process. Targets that encourage rushed or invented entries can make the data worse.
