PlanetTogether: An Extension of Your Supply Chain Team

Supply chain optimization depends heavily on a comprehensive and data-driven planning process. One of the most effective ways of achieving this enhanced production floor visibility is with Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) software.

PlanetTogether offers a robust planning, scheduling, and analytics software platform that not only improves the planner's productivity by 75%, but also features ongoing support from our highly-experienced engineers here at PlanetTogether. Our client solutions engineers are with you from the start of the software implementation process and provide ongoing support as your needs change in the future.

Assisted Implementation

PlanetTogether's commitment to supply chain optimization begins with our client-centric implementation process. In as little as six weeks, we customize the software with personalized data. Our team begins by identifying your critical success factors (CSF's) to provide a tailored APS solution. For example, if your company is having trouble with on-time delivery, we'll track your due-date performance. If material stockout is a constant issue, we track these persistent bottlenecks on the shop floor. Additionally, if you're having trouble with excessively long lead times, we can set up metrics for make-spans and queue times. Not only that, we incorporate your specific production processes and priorities so the APS software solves your company's specific needs. PlanetTogether takes into consideration any challenges that your business might face so that we can measure the gained results with the initial key performance indicators (KPIs). We get together with your data, system, and team to align your staff with how to use the software.

Customer Support

Once the APS software is implemented, our client solutions engineers do their best to act as a resource for our clients. Our solutions engineers have, on average, over 20 years of experience in the manufacturing industry. We're deeply entrenched in finding innovative solutions to the ever-growing manufacturing roadblocks. Furthermore, we make sure that our clients are using their software as effectively as they can. When a problem does arise, however, we do our best to give our clients personalized service and develop a solution for their pain points.

Critical Success Factors

From the very beginning, we zero in on a client's critical success factors. These are the factors that ensure a company achieves its manufacturing, financial, and operational goals. Through ongoing collaboration, we align our engineering team with your supply chain team, eliminating any gaps in knowledge. Our team isn't one to disassociate from the post-implementation process. We feel proud when we see company growth. Planners can check how their KPI's are performing simply by looking at their analytics dashboard feature on the APS software. We never stop optimizing our client's software to drive continuous improvement as needs evolve.

APS software helps drive supply chain success by synchronizing a variety of complex planning decisions using data-driven strategy. Our team is comprised of a team of operations specialists and software engineers who will never stop working toward practical scheduling, planning and analytics solutions to make manufacturing companies more successful.
