Phoenix Consultants Group has expanded the Fireflight Data System’s prebuilt module library with a Project and Task Management module, making structured project tracking available as a configurable component in any custom platform deployed on the Fireflight architecture – without requiring a separate project management tool or manual data bridges between systems.
The module integrates directly with other Fireflight components – including inventory, scheduling, billing, and client management – meaning project records carry live data from connected workspaces rather than existing as isolated entries. According to PCG, the module covers the full project lifecycle from initial task assignment through completion tracking, with role-based visibility controls determining which team members see which projects, tasks, and status updates at any given time. For operations running multiple concurrent projects – a common reality in manufacturing, construction, and woodworking businesses – that visibility control prevents the cross-project confusion that typically emerges when project data is managed through shared spreadsheets or generic tools.
- Confirmed feature: Project and task creation with assignable ownership, status tracking, and deadline management – configurable to each client’s specific project workflow and terminology rather than a fixed generic structure.
- Confirmed feature: Work order integration within project records, connecting shop floor activity directly to the project it belongs to and allowing time, materials, and progress to be tracked against the same source record.
- Confirmed feature: Role-based access controls at the project and task level, with permission settings determining visibility and edit rights per user – keeping sensitive project financials or client details accessible only to the appropriate team members.
The practical value of project management built into the same platform as inventory, billing, and client records – rather than bolted on through a third-party integration – is the elimination of the data lag that typically develops between where work happens and where it gets recorded. For woodworking and manufacturing operations specifically, a project record that pulls live material consumption from inventory, labor hours from time tracking, and billing status from accounts gives shop owners an accurate view of job profitability in real time rather than at close of project. Woodshop Master, PCG’s woodworking-specific platform built on Fireflight, includes this module as part of its core Project Management workspace.
What’s next: PCG continues to expand the Fireflight Data System’s module library across project, compliance, and operational categories. Operations interested in a custom deployment can learn more at phxconsultants.com.
