Make every production step visible

Dental Lab Workflow Management

Turn each accepted case into a clear production route. DentlFlow organizes work by laboratory-defined stations and gives managers and technicians the context needed to advance cases reliably.

Model the workflow your laboratory actually uses

A crown, denture and night guard may follow different production paths. DentlFlow lets the lab create stations and ordered workflow templates, then use routing rules to assign the right template by restoration type. Managers can also apply or override a workflow when a case needs special handling.

Give each station an actionable queue

When production starts, the active step appears in the relevant station queue. Technicians see work they are permitted to execute instead of searching a shared list. Starting, pausing and completing work creates a time-based session, while step notes preserve important production context.

  • Custom stations, colors, order and QC designation
  • Reusable workflow templates with required and optional steps
  • Routing rules for consistent assignment
  • Station entry, completion, holds and issue escalation

Track exceptions without losing the case history

Production is not always linear. A technician can report an issue, and the laboratory can place the case on hold so work does not continue before the problem is resolved. Step events, notes and QC outcomes remain attached to the work order, giving managers a more reliable timeline than informal updates.

Connect workflow to labor, inventory and delivery

Technician sessions provide pause-aware production time and optional labor cost snapshots. Materials consumed against the work order reduce ledger stock and retain unit-cost context. Because these activities share the same case, the lab can review production progress alongside material and labor information before delivery.

Workflow clarity for every production role

How configurable workflow runs

Each case receives a route while retaining the flexibility to handle exceptions.

  1. 1

    Define

    Create stations and templates for the laboratory's production paths.

  2. 2

    Route

    Assign the correct template automatically or manually during review.

  3. 3

    Execute

    Technicians complete active steps and record time, notes and materials.

  4. 4

    Control quality

    Resolve holds and record QC before the work order is completed.

Questions labs ask

Can different restorations use different workflows?

Yes. Templates can represent different station sequences, and routing rules can select them by restoration type.

Can technicians use QR codes on the production floor?

Yes. DentlFlow supports structured work-order and material identifiers, label printing and technician scan flows.

Does workflow management include quality control?

Yes. Stations can be marked for QC, and steps support pass/fail outcomes, notes, issues and holds.
