Prodplanner is the planner’s real-time GPS for production — revealing obstacles before they impact you and instantly enabling the fastest route forward.
With Prodplanner, complex manufacturing constraints, resource shortages, and shifting demand are transformed into a cohesive, dynamic, and — above all — executable production plan.
Is Prodplanner for you?
Prodplanner is for those who have outgrown Excel or find traditional APS-optimization tools too complex and inflexible. Prodplanner is a multi-user system that integrates with your ERP system to handle both real-time planning and simulations. With Prodplanner, you can quickly plan all or parts of your production while material and capacity shortages are flagged to ensure a feasible plan.
A new perspective on production planning!
Many of today’s planning tools rely on complex automated optimization that requires a perfect digital model of reality — something that rarely holds true when everyday complexity and disruptions occur.
Prodplanner is built on a completely different philosophy: we put the needs of the planner and stakeholders at the center. Through an easy-to-understand model and a powerful visual support system, it becomes simple to analyze, create feasible plans, and continuously improve production flow.
The key to Prodplanner’s capabilities is that a complete network is built mapping what supplies what across your production. Simultaneously, actual required dates, quantities, and capacity loads are calculated. This allows issues to be flagged upstream through the network and enables parts of the network to be automatically rescheduled whenever a node changes.
Why choose Prodplanner?
Focus on simplicity: With smart exception handling, you get clear signals on what you need to act on. You plan planned manufacturing orders in the same seamless way as firm manufacturing orders, with a clear visual distinction.
Full visual overview: Get a complete overview of the entire supply chain, especially where you face challenges with shortages, delays, or overcapacity. Customized views are available for all stakeholders — from planners and purchasers to sales teams.
Maximum flexibility: Create fully personalized, role-based, or company-specific views of your planning data.
