Simplified automatic finite scheduling for high-mix low-volume manufacturer

Why buy from you? What makes you so special?

We are no start-up playing around with somebody else's money. We are a profitably growing company and build just plan it from our own operating cash flow. As company, we have 40+ years experience in developing visual scheduling products. We are convinced that this depth and breadth of experience is unique.

What happens if I wait?

The phone will ring, and your best customer will request an urgent job. You will have to squeeze it in - without knowing the impact on other jobs. You will start flying blind again, and rather soon your life will be chaotic fire-fighting again. In the midst of all chaos, a machine will break down and things will get worse. This will be (at latest) the next time that you wish you had started working with a professional production scheduling solution already.

What exactly am I signing up for? What are the features and benefits?

First, you will sign up for a JPI launch. This comes with a one-time payment. In the on-boarding phase, you will be coached and trained by a dedicated customer success manager. We will make sure that we understand your specific situation, your shop and your processes and will help you set up just plan it in a way that you get the most of it. The JPI launch also includes that we together establish a few routines that will enable you to successfully use the product on your own.

Second, you will sign up for the subscription. This is a monthly or annual payment. Both the amount and the set of features depend on the package you chose to use. With just plan it, you only pay what you use. We actually use the JPI launch to make sure that you just use and pay those features that you necessarily require for your shop.

Independent of your choice of subscription, you will benefit from experiencing profitable growth thanks to professional production scheduling. You will increase your on-time deliveries, you will cut your lead times, and you will grow your throughput.

Are there any long-term contracts?

This is up to you. We offer annual subscriptions. They make sure that you remain very flexible and that you can cancel at the end of every annual period. However, if you like, you can also sign up for longer subscription periods. Just ask us and benefit from discounted rates.

How do I present this to my team?

You have two options to present this to your team: first, you can show them a video or recorded webinar (you find links to those at the bottom of this page). Second, you can book a meeting with a scheduling specialist and invite your team.

Is just plan it cloud-only?

Yes, just plan it is a cloud-only product. There is no option to install it in your environment. 

We typically update the product every quarter. Having it as cloud-only product helps us to keep all customers current at any time, and also makes sure that you immediately can benefit from our investments.

Who are you guys, anyway?

We are NETRONIC Software from Aachen (Germany). We are a family-owned business and are run by the brothers Dr. Elmar and Dr. Martin Karlowitsch. Our company was founded in the mid 70ies already. Elmar and Martin represent the second generation of the company management, and took over the company via a management buy-out. We have customers on all 5 continents and also employ a very international team,

What results will I actually get from this?

As a result, you will experience a profitable growth of your shop - without being in a constant chaotic fire-fighting mode.

How much does it cost? Are there any hidden fees?

The one-time fee for the JPI launch is US$ 3,300. After that, the costs per month will be between US$ 325 and US$ 750
