About

A Good Schedule Prevents the Fires You Are Currently Fighting

Rush orders, material shortages and overloaded work centers usually trace back to planning that did not account for real capacity. This system calculates material requirements, checks capacity against your actual schedule, and lets you resolve conflicts before they hit the floor as an emergency.

Multi-Level Bill of Materials Explosion

A product's full bill of materials explodes down every sub-assembly automatically, calculating exact input quantities at any production volume.

How it works

From Forecast to Committed Schedule

Four steps that turn demand into a workable plan.

01

Feed in demand

Demand forecast and open orders feed into the planning engine.

02

Calculate requirements

Material requirements and capacity needs are calculated against current stock and work-center load.

03

Resolve conflicts

Planners adjust the schedule using what-if scenarios to resolve conflicts.

04

Release and trigger purchasing

Finalized schedule releases to the floor, with shortages triggering purchase requisitions.

Benefits

Why Planners Stop Firefighting

Fewer rush orders, fewer shortages, better use of capacity.

Fewer rush orders

Fewer rush orders caused by poor upstream planning.

Fewer shortages

Reduced material shortages mid-production.

Better capacity use

Better use of available work-center capacity.

Clearer commitments

Clearer visibility before committing to a delivery date.

Enterprise-grade security

Encrypted hosting, role-based access control, and regular backups. Your data always remains fully yours and exportable, with no lock-in.

Transparent, scoped pricing

Every engagement is scoped individually with a fixed price and timeline agreed upfront — book a free consultation for a tailored quote.

Built for your whole team

Role-based views mean owners, managers, and frontline staff each see exactly what they need, nothing more, nothing missing.

Before / after

What Changes on Day One

Before

Rush orders spring surprises on the whole schedule

Material shortages discovered mid-production

Work centers overloaded without anyone noticing early

Purchasing finds out about shortfalls too late

After

Rush order impact simulated before it is committed

Requirements calculated against demand and stock upfront

Capacity checked against real load before committing

Shortfalls trigger purchase requisitions automatically
