What Just Plan It is
Just Plan It is finite production scheduling software for job shops and multi-operation manufacturers. Its engine builds schedules around capacity, priorities, and constraints, with drag-and-drop changes and instant recalculation. The interactive planning board provides Gantt views by job, resource group, resource, and calendar. An operator app records task progress, and reported progress can trigger automatic rescheduling. For data exchange, the product supports Excel upload, an open API for ERP integration, and a standard SAP Business One connector. Users can export job, task, and resource-utilization reports to Excel and use a Power BI dashboard for production metrics. Configurable notifications can alert selected people to schedule changes, critical issues, or KPI shifts by email or a messaging tool. The maker says the cloud-only product is hosted on Microsoft Azure, does not store raw passwords, and uses Azure Active Directory authentication; there is no on-premise installation. It supports high-mix, low-volume production and repeat manufacturing with complex routings. A free 30-day trial is available, while subscription duration and package are tailored to the customer.
