Production scheduling for small manufacturers. Plan every work order, run every line at real capacity, and start each day knowing exactly what needs attention.
Most small shops schedule in spreadsheets or someone's head. That works until a rush order lands or a machine goes down. Schedule Forge replaces the spreadsheet with a live, capacity-aware schedule your whole team can see and your shop floor can update in real time.
Cloud-based and self-serve: sign up, add your lines and work orders, and have a working schedule the same day. No six-month ERP rollout.

Schedule Forge's answer:
Schedule Forge treats the schedule as the product, not a module buried inside an ERP. Every work order schedules as a connected chain against real line capacity, so when one job moves, everything downstream reflows, and the plan stays honest. Three things set it apart:
And it speaks your language: rename tasks, projects, lines, and work orders to match how your shop already talks, and the whole app follows.
Schedule Forge's answer:
Small manufacturers and job shops, roughly 5 to 50 people, who currently schedule production in spreadsheets, on whiteboards, or in the owner's head. The buyer is usually the owner, plant manager, or production scheduler who has outgrown the spreadsheet but doesn't have the budget, staff, or patience for a full ERP implementation. If your shop has real routings, shared machines, and promise dates you sometimes miss, you're who this was built for.

Schedule Forge's answer:
Drawing on years of manufacturing experience and the frustration of building scheduling systems in software never designed for the task, we decided to create a purpose-built solution. We watched countless companies invest in expensive ERP systems, only to abandon their rigid, overly complex scheduling modules and revert to spreadsheets. We built our platform for the practical needs of the everyday shop floor. It is an intuitive scheduling tool that optimizes your workflow without requiring an entire department to manage it.
Helps my company solve many issues. We collect information from clients and employees. We conduct surveys and collect data. Very useful software. Helps form a common opinion, conduct analysis and analytics.
One of our customers said: Our small mining operation needed to go from paper based process to digital forms. At first, Google forms allowed us to use this Web-based platform that lets individuals and businesses of all sizes build customizable forms to conduct surveys and generate real-time response charts.
We saw that a small sample of our field workers quickly adopted the new way of working.
Step 1: accomplished.
Now unto step 2.
How do we deploy this unto our whole team? We needed email notifications, offline response collection when without wifi on the field. Our CIO and his director of operations needed deep data and trends analysis as well. Our inspectors, when doing their audits, needed to capture approx. 25 high definition pictures, some audio notes and a video which wasn't really possible with google forms.
So, we can 100% credit the use of google forms to our transition towards a paperless process, but as we navigated saashub.com a little more, we were able to discover a world of alternatives. We strongly suggest to start using google forms before undergoing a big implementation plan towards such enterprise level inspection tools like nspek or even cheaper solutions like prontoforms.
I am not sure if we would start with google's solution first if we would to do this digital transformation all over, but it did allow us to discover it's limits pretty quickly.
At some point, we needed custom fields and functions, and none of us was able to code, so the nSpek training that comes with the application definitely sets it's self apart, giving us full autonomy.
