Discrete Manufacturing Scheduling Software for Job Shops

Planify is designed to sit alongside your ERP as the scheduling layer many ERP modules cannot be. Instead of assuming infinite capacity, it models real work centers, setups, run times, shift calendars, and operation dependencies. Your ERP remains the system of record, while Planify turns imported work orders and routings into a practical, finite schedule.

Yes. Planify is built for manufacturing teams and shop floor operations that need comprehensive scheduling without a heavy APS consulting project. Its spreadsheet-familiar workspace helps planners move beyond Excel while still handling the realities of job shops, including changing priorities, shared machines, multi-step routings, and work orders that rarely follow a perfect plan.

Finite scheduling means Planify only schedules work where real capacity exists. It considers machine availability, shift calendars, setup time, run time, teardown, move time, and dependencies between operations. This prevents the common problem of stacking too much work onto the same work center at the same time, creating a more believable dispatch plan.

Planify includes rush order replanning and what-if scheduling for disruptive moments. A planner can use Pretend mode to model a breakdown, expedite, or priority change before committing it to the active schedule. The system resequences the board while preserving setups, shifts, and dependencies, making it easier to see which orders slip and by how much.

Planify supports ERP connectivity through CSV, API, and database-read patterns depending on your environment. It can pull work orders, routings, and work-center data from systems such as Epicor, SYSPRO, DELMIAWorks, Global Shop, JobBOSS, Odoo, NetSuite, SAP Business One, and others, then help dispatch sequenced operations back to the floor.

Planify uses small-batch onboarding to avoid the long, expensive setup cycle common with traditional APS deployments. The team helps connect production data, configure core scheduling inputs, and run your first finite schedule with you. The goal is a scoped, hands-on implementation measured in weeks rather than a separate multi-month consulting engagement.

Planify places work inside real shift calendars instead of assuming your factory runs 24/7. You can account for first, second, and third shifts, weekend closures, holidays, workforce availability, and overtime rules. If a job lands on a closed shift or exception, the schedule can adjust around that reality before the plan reaches the floor.

Yes. Planify models setup, run, teardown, and move time separately, including sequence-dependent setup times. That matters for machine shops, press shops, CNC environments, and any operation where changeover affects capacity. By grouping compatible work and sequencing around changeover windows, Planify helps produce a schedule that reflects actual utilization, not just theoretical machine time.
