I recommend checking out S1 NET on milsuite…they have a whole array of tracking tools for orderly rooms and BN/BDE S-1s.

Either excel based trackers or white board trackers where one could easily see where the paper work is etc.

I have an APFT tracker I built that will tell you when your people are coming up due, give you a by name list, identify top performers, and provide you with your company average. Message me and I will sent it to you.

AKO E-forms has been amazing in my battalion as a way to track the location and status of awards and NCOER's. Basically, the submitter makes the form and sends it to next level for signatures/corrections. The S1, originator, and signer all get a CC and there is a trail showing when it was opened, returned, signed etc.

If you are familiar with Access you can have a database that will track all the inprocessing data/ personnel info. If you're a little bit ninja you can have your Career Counselor send you a PERDB pull for your company and use that to generate your database with almost no typing involved.

Look for a process improvement expert or office at higher headquarters. They should have tools and techniques that can help. Message me and I’ll provide some help also.
