Manufacturing Software : The Calendar Planner

If ERP manufacturing software, typically built for multiple plants and locations is more than you need, consider The Calendar Planner as an affordable stand alone solution or to complement existing manufacturing software. The Calendar Planner is:

• Up and running within minutes
• Affordable - Site License rates available
• Easy to learn and use by employees at all levels. (96% of respondents to customer surveys said they were installed, up and running and building schedules within hours).

Take a Tour of The Calendar Planner if your organization:
• Has complex modular systems with unused functionality
• Developed a less than optimum spreadsheet solution
• Needs a simpler and more useable manufacturing software to complement existing manufacturing management software
• Has an outdated manufacturing software system

For small to midsized manufacturers, acquiring ERP manufacturing software is cost prohibitive. Costs also restrict manufacturers from replacing outdated manufacturing software and start-ups have a tough time justifying expensive ERP manufacturing software with unnecessary modules.
