24Flow for planners
Production scheduling software for planners
Every rush order breaks the plan. With 24Planning you replan on the capacity you really have and see the impact before you commit.
Too many planners still balance demand, capacity and delivery dates in Excel. 24Planning is production scheduling software and APS in one visual planning board: finite capacity scheduling, fed by your ERP and updated live from the shop floor.
What changes for planners
Stop replanning from scratch.
Plan on the capacity you really have.
24Planning does the repetitive work, so you spend your time on the decisions only a planner can make.
Drag and drop orders in day, week or month views, spot unplanned orders at once and let custom buttons do the repetitive work.
Schedule forward or backward automatically and see the load on every team and machine in real time, so you plan on capacity, not a forecast.
See task dependencies and the impact of a moved deadline across multi-step projects, from engineering to delivery.
Pull new production orders and component availability from your ERP, send confirmed plans back, or upload a CSV file when there is no API.
Your plan updates live with shop floor data, team leaders get a read-only view, and the same tool plans shifts and people.

Questions planners ask
Questions about production scheduling software
What is production scheduling software?
Software that turns your open orders into a schedule for every team and machine. 24Planning schedules on finite capacity, shows the load per team and updates the plan live with shop floor data, so a rush order means adjusting the plan, not starting over.
Is 24Planning APS software?
Yes. 24Planning is advanced planning and scheduling (APS) software for make-to-order and engineer-to-order production: automated forward and backward scheduling on finite capacity, a visual planning board and Gantt charts for projects.
How does finite capacity scheduling work?
24Planning schedules against what each team and machine can really do. You set the capacity per day, with shifts and absences. 24Planning plans operations forward or backward within that capacity and shows the load per team, so you see an overload before orders run late.
Can we keep planning production in Excel?
Yes, as long as your orders and changes still fit in the sheet. Excel works while one planner can keep the overview. When every rush order means rebuilding the file and nobody else can read the plan, Excel has become too small. 24Planning takes the orders from your ERP, plans them on real capacity and shows everyone the same live plan.

Does 24Planning work with our ERP?
Yes. 24Planning pulls production orders and component availability from SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management or Exact Online, and sends confirmed plans back. Without an API, you upload a CSV file. See all integrations
Do we need to be a Salesforce customer?
No. You do not need to be a Salesforce customer: every 24Flow license includes the Salesforce platform.
