Your schedule isn't the problem.
Executing it is.
The plan looks fine on paper — then it hits the floor. The printout goes stale the moment the ERP changes, operations run out of sequence, and the only person who knows what should run next is the scheduler. ScheduleIQ is the execution layer: the dispatch board your floor runs the day on.

Where good schedules go to die.
These are the execution gaps we hear about on every shop floor — and how ScheduleIQ closes each one, without replacing the systems you already run.
"The floor is running yesterday's plan. Every ERP change means hours re-keying the spreadsheet before anyone sees reality."
The floor always runs the current plan
Changes, additions, and deletions flow from your ERP straight to the dispatch board. What the floor sees is what's real — no re-keying, no stale printouts.
"Excel doesn't know Operation 2 can't start until Operation 1 finishes — so the floor finds out the hard way."
Work dispatches in a sequence the floor can run
ScheduleIQ enforces operation dependencies — predecessors, successors, and resource constraints — so every workstation pulls the next job knowing the one before it is done.
"What runs next lives in the scheduler's mind. If they leave — or are out for two weeks — the plant stops."
Execution logic lives in the system, not one person
Sequences, priorities, constraints, and preferences are captured as logic built into the board. Anyone on the team can run the day — a resignation, retirement, or extended absence never stops the plant.
"We hold a daily meeting across departments just to find out what's running on the floor and how the machines are doing."
The status meeting becomes a glance
The dispatch board shows what's running on every machine right now, plus machine status across the plant — visible to every department, no meeting required.
"Customer service calls the scheduler every time a customer asks where their order is."
Order status is self-serve
Customer service sees exactly where each order sits in execution — current operation, progress, expected dates — without interrupting the people running the floor.
"We find out the schedule slipped after it's already cost us the ship date."
Execution drift flagged in real time
ScheduleIQ tracks actual against plan as the day unfolds and flags late jobs, conflicts, and sequence breaks while there's still time to recover the date.
"A machine goes down or a rush order lands, and reworking the plan takes the rest of the day."
React to the floor in real time
Drag-and-drop the board and the day reshuffles around the breakdown, the rush order, or the material shortage — with dependencies still respected, and every workstation seeing the new sequence instantly.
"We can't rip out our ERP to fix any of this."
An execution layer on top — no rip-and-replace
ScheduleIQ sits between your planning systems and your floor, working alongside SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, QAD, Epicor, and the rest. Keep what you own; fix how it executes.
