Production Director Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A versatile and simply maintained product has transformed our Production Scheduling " May 4, 2018 5.0 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. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software May 8, 2018 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, Christopher B. Machine Shop Supervisor / Field Machinist Supervisor Machinery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Just what I've been looking for!" January 21, 2019 5.0 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. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software January 22, 2019 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. LL Lynne L. Director Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Disappointing experience with the \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]" May 23, 2022 3.0 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. Reason for choosing just plan it I was given a fantastic presentation on how wonderful their service was...... Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software May 31, 2022 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. Tom C. Founder and owner Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "High-tech production environment planning" January 17, 2019 5.0 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. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software January 18, 2019 Hello Tom, Thank you very much for taking time to review just plan it. We'll work on making the start into JPI somewhat slicker ... and encourage you to call us again (and again) if you have further ideas how to enhance the software. BK Bent K. Product Manager Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Intuitive and a down-to-earth solution for gaining control and saving administration time" May 1, 2017 4.0 ... 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. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software May 2, 2017 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 MW Marius W. Engineering Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Bad experience with JPI" May 23, 2022 1.0 \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], needs to get some customer relations training. We were complaining about the slow system and he went straight on attack mode. I did not appreciate this. 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. Reason 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. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software May 25, 2022 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. MB MASSIMO B. Lean Manufacturing coordinator Machinery Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "VERY EASY TO USE AND REACH IN FUNCTIONALITIES THAT CAN SUIT A MAKE TO ORDER MANUFACTURING COMPANY " October 13, 2017 5.0 A better planning process and a reduction of delivery delays. A better utilization of manufacturing resources. 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 Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software October 16, 2017 Ciao Massimo, Thanks a lot for your great feedback. We are happy working with you and continue to strive hard meeting your requirements VR Verified Reviewer Management Consultant Oil & Energy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Scheduling a make to order machine shop" January 17, 2019 5.0 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. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software January 21, 2019 Hi there, Thank you very much for taking just plan it into your customer and for helping them getting maximum value out of it. We are continously working on enhancing the performance of the software, VR Verified Reviewer Owner and Executive Consultant Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My first thought of seeing this product was ... WOW" October 17, 2017 5.0 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. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software October 17, 2017 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. Jan K. jednatel spolecnosti Machinery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Our experience" January 17, 2019 5.0 Now we can see, how many jobs we have on our machine park and we are using it for complete work stations in our company, means 20 milling machines, 4 turning machines, control stations and others. Complete we are using 42 different jobs, which we are planning, and software works really good. Pros We like, how easy and quick we can use it Cons this is not easy question, we haven´t any, what we like only least. Complete it works fantastic... Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software January 18, 2019 Hello Jan, Thank you very much for providing great feedback. You make an awesome job applying just plan it to schedule your shop. MH Michael H. Used the software for: ### "Great Product" April 13, 2017 5.0 Very easy to use. Start up was simple. Customer support has been very responsive. Outstanding cloud based scheduling software available! Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software April 18, 2017 Hello Michael, Thank you very much for the great review. We are happy to work with you and your team :-) GC Guillermo C. Operations Manager Automotive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "just plan it Scheduling software review" December 15, 2016 5.0 JPI is simple, fast and intuitive to use. Their great customer support team helped us tailor our requirements and made sure our ERP interfaced seamlessly with scheduling making us more effective in helping our customers through better planning. Their Kaizen culture proves that JPI listens to their customer's requirements and strive for constant improvement with each update. I am happy to see new features on a regular basis and regularly recommend JPI. Their customer service is amazing and knowledgeable, their response times are impressive even though we are in different time zones. It has helped take a job shop environment to the next level. Pros Ease of use and excellent customer service. Integrates to our ERP seamlessly. Cons I have no complains. Their team is very helpful and quick when resolving bugs and implementing requests even though we are on different time zones. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software December 15, 2016 Hello Guillermo, Your feedback is awesome. Thank you so much for being a passionate and challenging customer. Your ideas and spirit definitively have been helping to make just plan it grow. PP Pavel P. Vice Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very good and simplified UI, not too many functions, which doesn't add extra cost.Easy to use. " October 13, 2017 4.0 Actually the benefits can be great, once you set up your business data to fit the software, so it can visualize your current status. Our company did a test run on the software in order to see what data we need to collect so we can use it. Currently we are collecting the data so we can start use the software in real working environment. Pros Simplicity, the UI, possibility to choose what you want to see. The support is very responsive. Price level is good according the functionality. Cons The thing i didn't like was that the tasks weren't connected to the percentage bar, so if you have your task marked as 100% completed today, instead of tomorrow, it will not rearrange and pull other tasks earlier. Also lack of "worker" accounts which can update task completion percentage directly so the manager can see how things are going in real time. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software October 16, 2017 Hello Pavel, Thank you very much for the fair review. We appreciate that you take time to collect your production data. This will make your scheduling much more robust and will increase the value that just plan it delivers to you. In the meantime, we actually started building some functionality that you mention as missing (e.g. provide feedback from the shopfloor into the scheduling software). SL Shane L. Procurement Mgr Plastics Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Just Plan it is a simple yet powerful scheduling software." October 13, 2017 5.0 Less time to come out with a production schedule. Have an overview of all the sales order received and knowing the resource require well in advance. Most important, able to obtained and relate the estimated time of delivery to customers. Pros It is easy to use and required minimum implementation time. Most importantly, the customer/technical support unit are always ready to answer any question with speed. Regularly update and improve the software features and functionality. With a strong sense of customer satisfaction and willingness to make an adjustment to the software, Just Plan it is only heading one way from a good software to a great software. Kudos. Cons Web based software, the stability and speed of of internet connection is very important to experience the agility of the software. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software October 27, 2017 Hello Shane, Thank you very much for taking time and review just plan it. It is a pleasure to work with you, and also to support you getting the most out of JPI. We already started working on some of the features that you recommended to us (e.g. "send-ahead"): stay tuned for some news to come. AG Andrew G. Managing Director Sporting Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Just what we were looking for!" May 21, 2018 5.0 Real-time planning, with easy drag and drop Pros We really like the easy drag and drop functions and the fact that the plan is so visible. The developers are constantly releasing updates and they really listen to your feedback! Cons Its a little difficult to get setup, but if you just watch the tutorials, then you will be 95% ready to use it. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software May 29, 2018 Hello Andrew, We truly appreciate your feedback and are glad to have you as customer. Although mentioned in the "con" section, we are glad that you found our tutorials helpful and that you mention them. This is an area we are continuously striving to get better. YH Yves H. Managing Director Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy and flexible handling: "just plan ist" meets our requirements 100%" October 23, 2017 5.0 Pros We have been closely seeking for an adequate software to schedule our plant construction orders and job shops. Adequate means: easy to connect with our ERP, easy to use and without any further customization, agile in applying and giving support in short notice rescheduling. We are very happy that we found just plan it: it meets our requirements 100%. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software October 24, 2017 Hi Yves, thank you very much for taking time and reviewing just plan it. This is a great endorsement and we are committed further enhancing the software, CB Chris B. Principal Consultant Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A very useful tool. I have been looking for exactly this for some time!" May 31, 2018 5.0 It helps us move our clients from a clumsy spreadsheet approach to a simple but sophisticated tool that saves them a great deal of time when they need to make changes. Pros It is simple and does what is says very easily. Perfect for small businesses and caters well for bespoke work and those "ASAP' jobs Cons Mainly, I just wish I'd found it sooner! There are a few enhancements on the way I am told - The ability to add multiple resources to a task will be great. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software June 5, 2018 Hi Chris, Thank you very much for taking time to review our software, and to share your impressions with other folks looking at a visual production scheduling software. And yes ... we are working on the "n resources per task" enhancements. However, this is will be a major new feature and hence I kindly ask you for some patience. This is nothing we will be able to ship on short notice. We'll keep you posted anyway. VR Verified Reviewer Bachelorafhandling Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great software, especially SMEs! Easy start for powerful planning." May 15, 2018 5.0 Pros SaaS helps planners to always be able to navigate through the production plans. Able to choose between ASAP or JIT for every order. Drag'n'drop functionality.Able to integrate with Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Cons If your company has numerous products as WIP at the same time, the scheduling view can be somewhat overwhelming. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software May 22, 2018 Thank you so much for your positive review. We constantly create and discuss ideas to build appealing scheduling views. So, your "con" is on top of our minds. Please feel free to share any idea you have. BO Boyd O. Director Printing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great and Flexible Software" January 21, 2019 5.0 Pros Flexibility of the software and how it fits into Job Shop Manufacturing Cons Slow Data loading.

Over the time, gave us a lot of hints how to further improve our software and we are grateful for this, Please be assured that performance improvements are always on our minds. JM Jeffrey M. Production Coordinator Furniture Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Loving it and Very easy to use." January 17, 2019 5.0 we manufacturing High end kitchen and i use it to schedule for my production. i only use JPL as my system . Pros what i love the most is functionality and Navigation. Cons sometimes its freezes when updating my schedule then i will close the page. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software January 18, 2019 Hello Jeff, Thank you very much for being a loyal customer and thanks for the kind review :-) KS Koji S. Technical affairs Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Useful scheduling software" October 16, 2017 5.0 Pros Easy to prepare and edit timetable with cloud based software. It's a useful tool for job/resource allocation and management. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software October 16, 2017 Dear Koji-san, We truly appreciate and honor your kind feedback and your commitment to our scheduling software. RG Rolf G. Used the software for: ### "Powerful and light-weight production scheduling" April 27, 2017 5.0 Easy-to-use and rapidly-to-understand. Delivers scheduling value and insight out-of-the-box with no customizations. Very intuitive design and rapid production scheduling ROI for job shops and small make-to-order manufacturers. Highly recommended. If there is one thing missing, it is the capability to provide feedback about the completion of jobs directly from the shop-floor. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software May 2, 2017 Hello Rolf, Thanks a lot for providing feedback, and for also pointing out missing functionality. We aim at developing just plan it "hand in hand" with the customers' needs and a "feedback app" is something we definitively have on the screen. However, we need to make sure that we keep the focus on scheduling & planning, and not open the door to becoming an MES with real-time shop-floor data. Hence, we are currently "designing" the "feedback app" with the aim of providing it later this year. JCM Juan Carlos M. Owner Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "This solution is just perfect for scheduling small and medium shops!" May 4, 2018 5.0 Pros The software is very simple and intuitive. Is so simple that gives you a lot of flexibility in the way you want to program. Is the first software that focuses on resources rather than products. The customer services strives! Is as close as perfection I have seen. Cons Have not find any problem yet! The software is so simple that it does what it has to do...giving few options for inconvienients. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software May 8, 2018 Hello Juan Carlos, We truly appreciate your kind feedback and partnership. Thank you very much for your review. NG Nathan G. Project Manager Machinery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to Use" January 17, 2019 5.0 Very responsive and helpful to gain real completion times for our projects. Pros The advantage of being able to access webinars and training videos have been really helpful. The software is easy to use. The staff has been really responsive the few times I've had questions. Cons The inability to slide jobs while in the resource group and resource view. Review Source Response from NETRONIC Software January 20, 2019 Hello Nathan, Thank you very much for the feedback. We are happy to have you as customer and will work hard to turn the con into a pro. BV BRIAN V.
