How the desk runs
One platform, from the cover call to the invoice.
Who is free, right now
A plant needs six machine operators for a new line. Booking Desk shows which operatives are available, cleared and suitable, so the booking is filled on the call.
The list worth ringing first
Plants run to a production cycle, so the operatives who ran the last campaign are the first list to work. Plain-English search runs across everyone you have placed, and pulls a profile from LinkedIn into the record in a click.
Checks beside the button
Before anyone is committed the desk shows whether the operative can be paid, where they stand on AWR, and how the rate compares. What the plant is really judging is whether the operator is ticketed for the machine before the shift — so the check happens before the booking, not after.
Timesheets without the chasing
Plants approve online through branded portals, and scanned or photographed timesheets are read automatically and queued for review.
Pay the week, bill the client
PAYE with AWR and holiday pay, with umbrella for contract technicians, run from the hours that were approved — and the plant invoiced in the same straight-through run.
Where the week stands
Dashman shows fill-rate by plant, cover by line and where the week is short, in one live view rather than a spreadsheet rebuilt every Friday.
Checks and clearances
Ticketed and inducted before the shift
Machine tickets, inductions and PPE sign-off are held against the worker with expiry alerts, and confirmed before a booking is committed.

Questions
Temp Manufacturing recruitment software questions.
How quickly can a manufacturing shift be filled?
Start from the open job or from the operative. The desk shows who is free, who is booked elsewhere, and who is cleared, so the booking can be made on the call rather than after a round of phoning.
What happens when a booking is cancelled at short notice?
Cancel the job or the booking with the date and the reason attached. The history stays on the record, so the whole team has the same answer when the plant asks about it weeks later.
Does it handle AWR and holiday pay?
PAYE, AWR and holiday pay run from the hours approved on the timesheet, and umbrella and limited arrangements run for contractors on the same approved workflow.
Can we see a whole week of bookings at once?
Timeline shows the week read down the people or down the jobs: who is on what, for which client, on which day, with the unfilled gaps visible.
What checks does a manufacturing placement need?
Machine tickets, inductions and PPE sign-off are held against the worker with expiry alerts, and confirmed before a booking is committed. The desk holds machine and plant tickets with expiry alerts, line and plant inductions recorded against the placement, PPE sign-off before the worker goes on site, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts.
