Complete case record
Job type, tooth number, shade and delivery date in one form.
Work Orders
Work order software for dental labs: which job is where, at a glance.
Open the case record, turn it into a work order and follow it stage by stage on the production board. Late deliveries don’t slip past.
Close the ledger
Let the work order land on a board, not in a notebook.
Every case from a clinic becomes a work order with job type, tooth number, shade and due date. The order lands on the production board and moves through stages set by the job type. Who delivers what and when stops being a debate.
The problem on the floor
What happens in a lab that runs on paper slips?
In most labs the work order is still a slip. The slip goes into the case box, the box goes to the bench, and from then on only the technician working on it knows where the job is. If the owner wants to know, they walk round the benches. If the clinic wants to know, it phones.
The problem appears not with one job but with thirty running at once. Which job is two days from delivery, which is waiting at try-in, which has stopped because the shade is missing — nobody has this in one place. Delays are usually noticed on the morning of delivery day; at that point the only option is to ask the clinic for more time.
The second problem is lost information. Because shade, tooth number and job type are handwritten on the slip, an unreadable note or a skipped field ruins production from the start. The cost of doing a job twice is not only material but time you could not give to other work that day.
Why Clineo Lab
Everyone who opens the board sees the same thing.
The work order works together with accounts, price lists and dispatch.
Kanban board
Stages follow the job type, and you can edit them.
Late jobs
Orders past their delivery date stand out on the board.
Automatic pricing
The order amount comes from the price list defined for the clinic.
Linked to dispatch
It goes on the period invoice; the amount posts to the account when the invoice is generated.
Files and photos
Photos and files from the clinic are attached to the order.
How it works
The work order in four steps.
The work order works together with accounts, price lists and dispatch.
Case arrives
A clinic on Clineo sends it from its Laboratory screen; other clinics enter it through the portal.
Turned into an order
Job type, tooth number, shade and delivery date are entered.
Production advances
The technician scans or advances it from the job card; the board updates.
Dispatched
The job goes on the period invoice; the amount posts to the account when the invoice is generated.
Tip: Entering the delivery date when the case is opened is the only field that triggers the board’s late warning. Orders left blank never appear on the late list.

Technician earnings
The share of each technician who moves a stage is calculated from the job amount.
What information does a work order record hold?
Clinic, patient, job type, tooth number, shade and delivery date. Photos and files from the clinic are attached to the same order.
How does the production board work?
Jobs appear in intake, production, at clinic, finishing and shipping columns. You advance the stage with the button on the job card. Scanning in the board's Scan barcode window moves the job to the next stage.
Can I take work from clinics that don’t use Clineo?
Yes. That clinic enters cases through the lab's clinic portal. A clinic on Clineo sends them directly from its Laboratory screen.
Is the work order price entered by hand?
It comes automatically from the price list you define for the clinic. You can define a separate list for each clinic.
Which plan includes it?
Work Orders and the Production Board are included in the Clineo Soft (Lab) plan.
