Production planning that stays honest
Most schedules live in one planner's spreadsheet, reach the floor as printouts, and are stale by mid-morning. Frontlink gives your plant one shared, finite-capacity schedule that everyone can see, and that holds up as the day unfolds.
Replace the planner's Excel
When the schedule lives in one person's spreadsheet, nobody else can plan, and every copy in circulation is already wrong.
Frontlink puts the plan where everyone can see it. Drag orders onto lines in the timeline, work in kanban when that fits better, and look days or weeks ahead. What you see is exactly what the floor sees.
- Timeline and kanban, one plan behind both
- Plan days or weeks ahead against real line capacity
- Move an order in seconds, not in formulas
From ERP order to the floor, without retyping
Orders arrive in the ERP, get retyped into a sheet, and reach the floor as a printout that is outdated before the shift starts.
01
Orders arrive by themselves
Shop orders flow in from your ERP with quantities and due dates attached. Nothing is retyped, so nothing is missed.
02
They fall into place
Every order slots into the schedule following your rules, not whoever calls the loudest.
03
The floor sees it instantly
Publish once and every operator screen updates in real time. No printouts, no phone calls.
Sequencing without the guesswork
The right running order lives in one planner's head. One wrong call quietly burns hours in changeovers, or a due date slips before anyone sees it coming.
A plan the floor can trust
A schedule that reshuffles under people's feet all day stops being believed. Operators fall back to their own lists, and the plan dies quietly.
Frontlink protects today's plan while tomorrow stays flexible. And because what was promised is tracked against what was delivered, trust in the schedule is earned shift after shift.

Know today that Friday is at risk
A line runs slow on Tuesday and you hear about it on Friday, when the order is already late and the customer is already on the phone.
A living document, not a snapshot
Frontlink follows real output against the plan and shifts everything downstream the moment reality changes. You see the risk while there is still time to act: move an order, add a shift, or call the customer before they call you.
Problems this solves
Planning is where Frontlink starts, not where it stops
The published plan drives execution on the floor, and what the floor reports flows straight back into tomorrow's plan.
Common questions
Can Frontlink replace our Excel planning?
Yes. The planner is built to take over from spreadsheet scheduling: orders come in from your ERP, sequencing follows your rules, and the floor works from the live plan instead of a printout.
Does the planner work with Exact Online?
Yes. Frontlink syncs shop orders, items, and due dates from Exact Online automatically, so the plan is always built on live order data without retyping.
What happens when a line runs slower than planned?
The schedule updates itself. Frontlink follows actual output from the floor and shifts downstream orders the moment a job runs long, so you see delivery risk days early instead of after the fact.
How do operators see schedule changes?
Instantly. When a change is published, every operator screen updates in real time from the same shared plan. No reprints and no phone calls down to the floor.
