About just plan it

just plan it is a cloud-based software solution designed to help job shops and small make-to-order manufacturers with resource scheduling, deliveries and time commitments through a visual scheduling interface plus a scheduling engine.

just plan it integrates with Microsoft Excel, which allows users to set up the tool through an Excel template. Once scheduling information is uploaded to the system, processes are presented through Gantt charts, and users can choose from a jobs-oriented view, a resource-oriented view and a calendar view.

Automatic, manual and hybrid scheduling adjustments can be made throughout the lifecycle of an order. The drag and drop interface allows users to test the effects of schedule adjustments on project deadlines. If project dates are changed or resources are reallocated, other events in the workflow are automatically moved.

just plan it comes with an on-boarding service, to bring the software in action. You do not need to go through a time consuming self learning process.

Monthly and yearly pricing options are available.

Pros:

The software is easy to use and brings huge benefit; we are able to schedule production runs through multi-discipline machines and processes in a manner not possible pre-JPI. The appearance is easy to the eye and the information available is powerful. I am able to examine job schedule and resource loading at a glance and utilise the flexibility of the software to provide progress information on our CNC machining machines and workshop production too. The beauty of this flexibility for me is that it enables us to examine whether parts supply to production jobs is timely. The customer and product support has been second to none and the manner in which Netronic are investing time and energy to improve the product further is very impressive. Where we have requested minor alterations / improvements we have seen these added to the product.

Cons:

The reporting section of the software is powerful but could be improved slightly - I'm sure the minor issues that remain will be ironed out.

Vendor Response

Dear Jonathan, Thank you very much for taking time to share your thoughts about just plan it. It is a pleasure to have customers like you who are challenging, but also appreciative. We are committed on enhancing the software ... also with respect to the reporting capabilities,

Just what I've been looking for!

I manage an industrial equipment repair machine shop that is always getting hot jobs. I have come to understand that anytime I try to schedule work flow, something usually comes up to ruin my plans. With this software, even when something pops up, I can easily manage the change in allocated resources. It allows me to stay far enough ahead of the chaos without blowing all of my plans out of the water.

Pros:

Everything! It is an interactive Gantt chart with an abundance of tools. For scheduling purposes, it has everything you need. You can use it on manual mode, which still has plenty of features to assist your end results. Or, you can enable the automatic scheduling engine that has capabilities far beyond what Ive seen before in the price range. After less than 1 day, i was actually using the software to schedule to flow of work with my machinist and mechanics in our repair facility.

Cons:

None! Any small issues that arise are tended to with expedience by the support team.

Vendor Response

Hello Christopher, This is an outstanding review and we are more than excited to read it :-) Thank you so much for your endorsement, for challenging us and taking time to share your experience with others. We hope that this is helpful for many machine shops who look for a proper scheduling solution.

Disappointing experience with the [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

This whole experience has caused so much stress, all the time and money wasted, in my 20 years of working, never have I been treated so badly by a supplier. Maybe it is different cultures, but where I come from the client comes first.

Pros:

I enjoyed some aspects and there is definitely room for improvement, but their server did not respond to our server therefore we could not use the programme without huge embarrassment when in production meetings. It would take keep hanging and I would have to reboot just to update one item, i.e marking off if a process was complete. Also I had dealt with [SENSITIVE CONTENT], who I thought were helpful but apparently I was a difficult client according to the feedback I received from [SENSITIVE CONTENT] who is cancelling my subscription without any form of monetary refund or any help from his other SA clients to see if it is our Infrastructure that is the problem. Be very careful when dealing with them as in I my experience is [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is unethical.

Cons:

The [SENSITIVE CONTENT]. Just walks away from problems, with not opportunity to sort issues out.

Reasons for choosing just plan it

I was given a fantastic presentation on how wonderful their service was......

Vendor Response

Hello Lynne, Thank you very much for your emotional review. I sense that your comments, which were blocked by this platform, referred to me. "Me" - this is Martin, CEO and Co-Owner of NETRONIC (the company that builds and runs just plan it). I am open to taking constructive feedback. And both me and my team happily go the extra mile for most of our customers. However, a customer/vendor relationship must be based on an equilibrium of giving and taking. Your company and my company never achieved this equilibrium. Hard to say way. But obvious to say that we both did not manage this. Hence, it is the best for both of us that you decided to cancel your subscription. Take care and good luck with your new scheduling approach.

Functionality

Pros:

You have more or several tasks to be planned and executed consisting of connected and sequenced activities using different work resources (man, machines, others) You also have an idea of the duration of each of the individual activities, and you also know what available time resources you have. Also you do not have to manage a complexity which calls for a project, implementing ERP-systems and the like. In a structured and clever way you want to stay in control without overloading your head, using notepads, using different home-grown excel-sheets, fire-fighting, follow-up chasing and other. You will probably find the answer to your wishes investigating Just-Plan-It. A fast implemented, intuitive and down-to-earth solution for gaining control and saving your administration time.

Cons:

No cons. This tool is based on sound practice-oriented principles. But of course you must set the scene for the tool to operate. That is defining your available resources and continuously feed the system with your tasks, task relations and task progress updates. This continued feeding can be automated. But this is a different story. I have given 4 stars across all subjects. I could have given it 5 stars across all subjects. But you must always leave room for vendor improvements.

Vendor Response

Hello Bent, We are excited about your feedback, and about your commitment for our product, We appreciate that you leave room for vendor improvement and we are very committed filling this room :-) It is good to have users challenging us. Easy and happy scheduling. Your just plan it team

Pros:

Software all around was OK. The server we worked on is extremely slow.

Cons:

The management system behind this and the server speed. Updating a simple line can take up to 5 minutes to refresh. When we questioned this, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] sent us quite a rude email.

Reasons for choosing just plan it

Great introduction to the product, but they fail to tell you that there are alot of modules not included in their package. Their servers are extremely slow, and when we questioned it, we received a rude email from [SENSITIVE CONTENT]. I was highly disgusted.

Reasons for switching to just plan it

To ease the planning system. We are moving to MS Projects now.

Vendor Response

Thank you very much for your honest feedback. It proves that there was a mismatch between how you work, and how we work. We appreciate you taking the time to review. Stating a "no fit" typically is healthy for both parties. We wish you a stunning success working with MS Project. If this is your path forward, we also know that we were not a good functional fit for you. In our experience, Project is not a competitive solution. It is a product solving for other customers than those we regularly serve. Take care and good luck.

Pros:

CUSTOMER ORDERS LEAD THE PLANNING PROCESS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE REAL CAPACITY OF DIFFERENT RESOURCES. YOU CAN EASILY FIND POSSIBLE WAYS, IF ANY, TO AVOID DELIVERY DELAYS. THE DOCUMENTATION ASSISTS YOU IN LEARNING ALL FUNCTIONALITIES AND YOU CAN BE SURE THAT IF YOU FIND A PROBLEM YOU WILL GET ON LINE SUPPORT IN A FEW MINUTES ( THIS IS REALLY GREAT). MANY WEBINARS ARE ALSO PLANNED TO INCREASE YOUR SKILL IN USING THIS SOFTWARE ACCORDING TO A WIDE RANGE OF POSSIBLE NEEDS. THE GRAPHICAL INTERFACE AND ESSENTAL REPORTS ARE VERY USEFUL TO CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THE PLANNING SITUATION AND MANAGE THE FLOOR SHOP LEVEL ENSURING THE CORRECT SEQUENCE OF MANUFACTURING ORDERS AND THE BEST SATURATION OF THE RELEVANT RESOURCES. THEY ARE CONTINUOUSLY IMPROOVING THE FUNCTIONALITIES OF THE SOFTWARE ALSO ON THE BASE OF SOME CUSTOMERS REQUIREMENT

Cons:

IN MY OPINION ONLY THE ENTERPRISE VERSION OF JUST-PLAN-IT IS ABLE TO COMPLY ( AND VERY WELL) WITH THE REAL PLANNING NEEDS OF A MANUFACTURING COMPANY (EVEN A SMALL ONE). THE OTHER TWO BASIC VERSIONS CAN BE USED ONLY FOR AN INITIAL TRAINING BUT THEIR LIMITATIONS PREVENT FOR A USEFUL APPLICATION IN MANY ACTUAL SITUATIONS. NOT POSSIBLE TO BUY THE LICENSE BUT YOU CAN ONLY RENT IT

Scheduling a make to order machine shop

As a management consultant I recommended and implemented Just Plan It for a large machine shop that had no scheduling software; as a result they were having difficultly planning, optimizing or understanding their work load or understanding when a product would ship. They also did not have a solid understanding of their capacity limits or what bottlenecks existed that constrained that capacity. Just Plan It allowed us to investigate their true capacity under different product mix/volumes and work schedules. This in turn was used to influence quoting lead times so as to not over promise delivery dates.

Pros:

Easy to use but very comprehensive in scope, capable of doing complex scheduling for a large machine shop. I particularly liked the ability to upload large amounts of jobs and labor routing via the excel template, which made evaluation of different priorities easy and fast.

Cons:

At times i felt the cloud based approach was slow but this may have been my internet connection.

Pros:

I have seen a lot of products that are designed for scheduling in a manufacturing environment; but few that are well designed for the small job shop type business. Most are designed for very complex manufacturing environments with dedicated scheduling resources. This tool achieved the promise that every other system tried to achieve but failed.

Cons:

The simplicity of the software is also its weakness - because the product would be limited to smaller manufacturing companies. However for the purpose that I see it being used for, this isn't so much a Con as a limitation that won't impact us.

Vendor Response

Hi, thanks a lot for openly sharing your thoughts on just plan it. You are right - we are purposely built for job shops and small make-to-order companies. Hence, we have some gaps to serve large-scale make-to-stock manufacturers and continuous flow production companies. However, this is on purpose ... and hence we can live well with this weakness.
