Planning & Scheduling
Get instant access into job status, capacity, and print shop production planning with powerful visual scheduling software.
Excel and Whiteboard Scheduling is Not Effective
Print shop production and scheduling are some of the most critical yet often undersupported functions of a busy print operation. While everything and everyone relies on you to get the jobs in, scheduled, produced, and delivered on time, you’re stuck with a lack of insight, oversight, and tools to effectively do your job.
Your days are spent hustling to keep everything aligned, but your ability to succeed is constantly hindered by:
- Cumbersome systems. The targets are always moving and you’re tasked with keeping everything in control using manual spreadsheets and job boards.
- Inflexible systems. Everything is manual so even a small adjustment to production takes a long time to reconcile and can have a negative impact on the entire job line.
- A lack of visibility. You don’t know the status of jobs once they are in production, so you’re never really sure if jobs are on target.
- Ineffective capacity planning. With no clear view of capacity, you’re left guessing when shop floor resources or machines might be available.
- Maintenance planning. With no reminders to tell you when your press machines are failing, your jobs and job quality are at risk.
- Poor communication. With no easy way to inform relevant staff or be informed of changes to job status, you can never be confident in your timeline for delivery or next job intake.
More often than not, you feel like you’re trying to piece together a production plan and schedule without all the necessary information, and you know that has a negative impact on the entire print shop. What you need is a centralized system that helps manage the entire cycle, from estimates to delivery, and gives you the visibility you need to be effective.
