What Just Plan It is
Just Plan It is finite production scheduling software for job shops and manufacturers managing multiple operations. Its scheduling engine builds finite-capacity plans around priorities and constraints; planners can make drag-and-drop changes and recalculate schedules instantly. The interactive planning board presents Gantt views by job, resource group, resource, and calendar. An operator app records task progress, and reported progress can prompt automatic rescheduling.
For data exchange, the product accepts Excel uploads, offers an open API for ERP integration, and has a standard SAP Business One connector. Users can export job, task, and resource-utilization reports to Excel, or use a Power BI dashboard for production metrics. Configurable alerts can notify selected people about schedule changes, critical issues, or KPI shifts by email or a messaging tool.
Just Plan It supports high-mix, low-volume production as well as repeat manufacturing with complex routings. The maker describes it as a cloud-only service hosted on Microsoft Azure, with Azure Active Directory authentication and no storage of raw passwords. It has no on-premise installation. Access is through web and API platforms, and a 30-day free trial is offered. Pricing starts at $325/mo; the tailored subscription and launch program vary according to planners, users, scheduled tasks, and subscription duration.
