Visual Planning Software for Scheduling

Visual planning software for scheduling gives planners a graphical way to sequence work, spot conflicts, and adjust capacity without rebuilding spreadsheets manually. Planify adds finite scheduling logic behind the visual board, accounting for setups, shift calendars, routing dependencies, overtime rules, and disruptions so the schedule reflects what your manufacturing floor can actually run.

Planify improves production scheduling by replacing infinite-capacity assumptions with real constraints. It schedules work around available machines, labor shifts, setup times, teardown, move time, and operation dependencies. Planners can sequence forward or backward from due dates, preview the impact of changes, and publish a schedule that foremen can trust on the floor.

Yes. Planify is designed to sit alongside your ERP rather than replace it. It can pull work orders, routings, and work-center data through CSV, API, or database read patterns, then return sequenced operations or labor updates. Supported ERP environments include Epicor, SYSPRO, IQMS/DELMIAWorks, JobBOSS, Odoo, NetSuite, and SAP Business One.

Planify’s Pretend mode lets planners model a disruption before committing changes to the active schedule. When a machine breaks down or a rush order arrives, you can replan the full board in seconds, see which orders slip, compare response options, and only then run the best plan on the active schedule.

Yes. Planify supports sequence-dependent setup and changeover scheduling, so Job A to Job B can carry a different setup time than Job A to Job C. It groups compatible jobs when appropriate, separates setup, run, teardown, and move times, and helps machines spend more time producing and less time being re-tooled.

Planify uses real shift calendars by work center, including first, second, and third shifts, weekends, holidays, calendar exceptions, overtime authorization, and workforce availability constraints. Jobs are not placed on shifts that do not exist, and closed periods automatically shift work to valid production time.

Planify onboarding is handled in small batches so manufacturing teams receive focused setup support. The team helps connect production data, configure work centers, routings, shift calendars, and ERP imports, then runs the first finite schedule with you. The goal is a practical implementation inside weeks, not a multi-month consulting project.

Planify is especially suited for SMB manufacturers, job shops, press shops, machine shops, and operations with complex routings or frequent schedule changes. It is built for teams that have outgrown Excel but do not want a heavy APS deployment or an ERP scheduling module that ignores real shop-floor constraints.
