WheresMyJob

Product Overview

WheresMyJob answers a daily operations question for print and apparel shops: where is this job right now? Each order is stored as a job record that can hold customer details, products, quantities, due dates, artwork, production notes, shipping or pickup information, linked partner context, and activity history. Shop owners, office staff, artists, managers, and operators can work from the same workspace instead of relying on disconnected spreadsheets, emails, and physical job sheets.

The Challenge

Print and apparel-production businesses often manage quotations, artwork approvals, production stages, shipping, and partner communication through disconnected spreadsheets, emails, and physical job sheets. WheresMyJob needed to centralize these activities while supporting different production services, employee permissions, uploaded artwork, broker and vendor relationships, and historical job records.

Key engineering challenges included supporting different production workflows across screen printing, embroidery, signage, engraving, and related services; synchronizing linked broker and vendor jobs; managing role-based employee permissions; protecting artwork and customer information; maintaining accurate status and activity history; supporting mobile-browser access while companion native apps remained under development; and handling notifications, files, and growing job history without disrupting the live production database.

Job Lifecycle and Production Workflows

A typical job can move through quotation, job creation, artwork review, production tracking, shipping or pickup, and completion. Teams can prepare a quotation, create the job with customer and product details, upload and review artwork, track production stages, arrange shipping, delivery, or pickup, and complete the job with applicable customer email notifications. Past jobs remain available so shops can reuse historical records for reorders.

Broker and Vendor Account Linking

When creating a job, a business can work in-house, broker work to a vendor, or fulfill work as a vendor for a broker. Linked WheresMyJob accounts can share relevant job information such as status updates and artwork or proof files according to the partner relationship and account permissions. Synchronization is designed so each linked business can review shared job context from its own workspace. Claims about instant or real-time partner updates are limited to the product’s linked-account sharing behavior rather than unverified latency guarantees.

Team Access, Calendar, Tasks, and Reports

Businesses can create employee accounts so different people handle production, artwork, administration, or other parts of the workflow under role-based access. Workspace-based login keeps each company’s jobs, files, and users separated. The platform also supports calendar and due-date planning, to-do lists that can be linked to jobs or kept independent, customer email notifications on production status, artwork and document storage on job records, and reporting tools used to review operational information.

Shipping, Pickup, and QR Job Tracking

For will-call and delivery orders, WheresMyJob includes a tablet-oriented sign-out flow that can capture timestamps, signatures, and photographs to keep a record of outgoing orders. A paid QR labeling option lets shops use mobile devices to open job information quickly from a label, supporting shop-floor and handoff workflows without requiring a separate published native app.

Mobile Access and Development Status

WheresMyJob is currently delivered as a responsive web platform tested across desktop and mobile browsers. According to the product’s public website, native iOS and Android applications are still under development and are not presented here as completed App Store or Google Play releases.

Webnyxa’s confirmed mobile-related contribution is the Laravel mobile backend connected to the existing job-management workflows and MySQL production database. That backend supports JWT authentication, role-aware authorization, REST APIs for order and production workflows, and Firebase Cloud Messaging for notifications. Until native apps are publicly released, mobile access should be understood as browser-based use of the web platform plus backend readiness for companion applications.

Security and Privacy Considerations

WheresMyJob handles customer information, artwork, pricing context, shipping details, partner data, and, where used, signatures and photographs from pickup or delivery confirmation. Confirmed controls in Webnyxa’s work include password-protected authentication, JWT-based mobile API authentication, role-aware authorization, and workspace separation so company accounts remain distinct. File access follows the platform’s account and job permissions. Broader claims about encryption standards, malware scanning, retention policy, or recovery procedures are omitted here unless separately confirmed by the project team.

Integrations and Current Status

Confirmed services used in Webnyxa’s backend work include Stripe for payment-related flows where configured, Firebase Cloud Messaging for notification delivery, and AWS-hosted infrastructure for deployment and operations. QuickBooks Online is not described as an active WheresMyJob feature on this page because its completion status for this product has not been confirmed. The live product remains a cloud web platform, with native mobile applications still listed as under development on the public WheresMyJob website.
