Schedlyzer 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

I was able to develop forecasting schedules based on true hourly capacity.

Our company is in the custom floor finishing business which means we purchase milled wood and finish it (color and texture) as a unique custom order. We were initially concerned the Schedlyzer would not apply to us since we were not actually manufacturing or fabricating a product but were performing a service. We quickly learned the tool was adaptable to our environment and we were able to start scheduling our jobs fairly quickly after getting the software. PROS: 1. By creating and using templates, we could enter new jobs very quickly 2. The ability to set job priority helped us assure the most important jobs were completed first 3. The Gantt chart view enabled our production staff and sales force to have the ability to view where projects were on a daily basis CONS: 1. The print capacity is not there only for graphs. All schedule output in numerical form can be printed and saved without any problem. 2. We were initially unable to group multiple jobs with a single customer. We later discovered if customer name is entered as "Part Number", then you can filter all projects belonging to a customer on Gantt chart. OVERALL IMPRESSION: We are very pleased with the ease of use, simplicity, and versatility of the tool. We also had outstanding customer support and any and every time we had a problem, we were able to get a quick response and quick resolution. We believe this tool was very much worth the purchase and the effort.

It has helped us take a very busy schedule with several workers of varying skills and jobs with numerous different steps, and manage it to help ensure we prioritize jobs correctly, and understand our capacity.

Optisol´s solution has been of great benefit for our organization and for our customers! We have managed to place control over a very large and complicated manufacturing process. The process of introduction to the operation of Schedulyzer was significantly less painful than expected. We got higher confidence in the completeition times of our projects, specially larger ones. We typically operate with around 100 orders active in the system at the same time, each having a large amount of activities. Now we are in the process of bringing the rest of our operations to the system sure of bringing the benefits Optisol advertise.

WE researched many scheduling software packages and discovered that many of them were just glorified calendars that were not based on any real data. Schedlyzer was the best capacity planning software that we could find. It has helped us see true asset utilization, bottlenecks, and be able to see how break in work effects the overall schedule. Not only is the software great i have had a great experience with Prasad. When i had questions he was more than responsive.

Getting setup with this software was a somewhat complex but the customer support provided in setting it up made it a breeze. I was allowed to extend my demo period in order to prove that the software was the right choice for our company. Any questions that I had were thoroughly answered in order to provide me with a better understanding of the product. Excellent experience overall!

Most other software's I have tried doesn't have nearly as much functionality as this one does. Which is essential to have for a vast and diverse job shop. Also whenever I needed assistance with it the service and support is immediate and has always been sufficient to solve any issues.

We are a 42 year old "job shop" in the graphic arts industry. We have over 50 pieces of equipment and run 3 shifts with variable staffing and skill levels on each shift. For many years we used scheduling boards and tried several attempts at using Excel for scheduling. Our production scheduler spent 8 to 10 hours / day producing a daily schedule. We had very little information to see bottlenecks, utilization, etc. I started looking at scheduling systems about 4 years ago. Everything I looked at would have accomplished our needs, but was very expensive. Finally I found Schedlyzer by Optisol. I was able to setup a trial for several months. It ended up being a very good fit for our business. Today we are able to produce our entire schedule in less than 2 hours / day. It would take far less than 2 hours, but we end up cleaning up a lot of our own data. We have an excellent view of our shop (equipment, labor, etc.). We can anticipate bottlenecks and react much quicker than in the past. We are able to better control overtime. I would highly recommend trying out Schedlyzer. Scheduling is a complex topic. If you do check out Schedlyzer, make a commitment to learn about it and understand it. It tooks me several weeks to fully understand the potential. I'm glad I gave it a chance. Pros: Very fast Gives you a great view of equipment and labor utilization Easy to use Good view of early / late delivery Price Cons: Has a bit of a "dated" feel.

Schedlyzer is Excellent tool for Production planning & control Schedlyzer helps to allocate resources as needed, accounting for factors such as delivery dates, production rates and manpower needs and is also an excellent communication tool between the manufacturing floor and the production planning department. Pros: Accurate and timely planning for rush jobs Optimized use of available resources Affordable price User friendly, Easily modify & Very fast Excellent customer support Cons: Unable to give graphical representation of total work load in shop & bottleneck of work center Overall Impression This software has many useful features designed to reduce manufacturing delays and backlogs. We strongly recommended it to maximized plant floor throughput.
