just plan it Reviews
Pros
The support from customer reps and the team was excellent they were very responsive to our needs.
Actually the benefits can be great, once you set up your business data to fit the software, so it can visualize your current status.
Customer support has been very responsive. Outstanding cloud based scheduling software available.
Making planning and scheduling easy. I am very impressed with the software and the Companies drive to continuously expand the software's capability.
Cons
Updating a simple line can take up to 5 minutes to refresh. When we questioned this, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] sent us quite a rude email.
The inability to slide jobs while in the resource group and resource view.
The simplicity of the software is also its weakness - because the product would be limited to smaller manufacturing companies.
Also lack of "worker" accounts which can update task completion percentage directly so the manager can see how things are going in real time.
"A versatile and simply maintained product has transformed our Production Scheduling "
Overall: Improved visibility, prior warning of over-capacity and late running. The ability to examine scenarios and quoted work accurately.
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.

"Just what I've been looking for!"
Overall: 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.

"Disappointing experience with the [SENSITIVE CONTENT]"
Overall: 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.

"High-tech production environment planning"
Overall: Very flexible, open minded and ready to listen (you can phone these people ...) company with a planning module with lots of power!
Pros: The endless possibilities of planning without it making very complex. Just-Plan-It automatically avoids conflicts in planning.
Cons: In the beginning, it was not suited at all for an additive manufacturing company which worried us, but after 2 telcos meetings with the development team, our vision was translated into their system.

"Intuitive and a down-to-earth solution for gaining control and saving administration time"
Overall: ...
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.
